Earlier in the week, the [URL=”http://blogs.courier-journal.com/jodydemling/2011/01/25/corey-rogers-visiting-uk/”]Courier-Journal was reporting[/URL] that Clark County’s Corey Rogers might be an option for UK, and was waiting to hear if he would be offered a scholarship. I started to say something at the time to the effect that I didn’t see it as anything but a very remote possibility. Corey Rogers plays TE/DE. UK is not only loaded at those positions this year, but they have already secured several more recruits at those positions for next year. I couldn’t see Corey Rogers receiving a scholarship offer unless he was willing to play, oh say, Linebacker. As Chris Fisher of 247 [URL=”http://twitter.com/ChrisFisher247/status/30340653590257664″]is reporting today[/URL], my reservations were not unfounded.
A local kid who does happen to play Linebacker (and in a 3-4 defense, possibly safety), is [URL=”http://www.truebluefan.com/news/uk-recruiting-mason-co-linebacker/”]Josh Harris of Mason County[/URL]. I’m not saying he’s going to get a scholarship offer, but I’d say his chances are good considering UK is… a little thin at safety right now. An improved defense would do wonders for Joker’s sophomore season.
