The three-star cornerback from Cincinnati broke neck muscles across the Commonwealth when he announced his commitment to West Virginia, choosing the Mountaineers over the Wildcats. Kentucky was the heavy favorite in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine after he visited Lexington twice in a three-day span last week. Georgia Tech and Boston College were also finalists for Calhoun’s services.
Neal Brown’s recruiting win does not completely leave the Wildcats high and dry. Calhoun is one of a few players at Winton Woods High School in Vince Marrow’s crosshairs. One of the Big Dog’s frequent stomping grounds and the home of Mike Edwards and Chris Oats, Kentucky will push its chips all in on Jermaine Mathews.
