Joker Phillips didn’t land everyone that he hoped he could get, but Joker still put together arguably the best recruiting class in Kentucky football history.
Phillips missed on two of the states biggest recruits in Lamar Dawson (USC) & Jon Davis (Illinois), as both spurned the Cats to head out of state. But let’s not consider this class a failure because Joker missed on those two, because UK still signed several recruits who had offers from the likes of USC, Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida State, LSU, Miami-FL, etc. So hopefully many of you will take that into consideration when you evaluate this class and not just think all hope is lost since Dawson & Davis didn’t sign with UK.
As for the surprise of the day for Kentucky, it had to have been the signing of Alabama commit, Daryl Collins. He had several offers from most of the schools in the SEC, so this is a very nice pick up for Joker.
