“We’re going to recruit the very best players.”

LEXINGTON, Ky (WTVQ) – This week, the Kentucky football staff took advantage of the newly-allowed early signing day.

The new NCAA rule allows schools to sign high school football players in December.

Players can still opt to sign in February on the traditional signing day, but the Cats still managed to sign 20 future Cats.

Of that 20, one is a highly-touted JUCO QB the Cats had to beat out several top schools to get.

Looking over his tenure, how does Mark Stoops feel about his ability to recruit against the big schools around the nation?

Check out the video for what he had to say.
