Big recruiting night gives UK chance to make up ground with in-state stars

A week after a monumental victory over Mississippi State at an electric Kroger Field, the Kentucky Wildcats will be riding a wave of momentum into another big home game Saturday night.

UK hosts South Carolina in front of a sold-out crowd, and plenty of the Cats’ top recruiting targets will be there to witness what Coach Mark Stoops hopes is another raucous environment.

Though the final guest list will number in the dozens, the Herald-Leader has confirmed that several of UK’s most immediate recruiting priorities are expected to be in Lexington.

It will be a much-needed opportunity for Stoops and his coaching staff — and the UK fans — to make a big impression.
