UK was ‘dead set’ on getting into one key state this recruiting cycle. Here’s why.

Kentucky’s recruiting message has evolved over the last few years from coming be the start of something great, to helping us become a regular contender in the Southeastern Conference to now a simpler, “Let’s go beat Georgia.”

“We’ve climbed up the hill, beaten some of these other teams, but we got to get Georgia, we got to win the SEC East soon,” recruiting coordinator Vince Marrow said on Wednesday. “So that’s our message now.”

And to six brand new Cats — Marquez Bembry, Taj Dodson, K.D. McDaniel, Quandre Mosely, Travis Tisdale and Tra Wilkins — that message likely resonates a little bit more because that’s their home state.
