If you were looking for a silver lining on the recruiting front, Justin Rowland and Joe Tipton's latest read on where things stand did not provide it.
Between Tipton’s updates and what Rowland is hearing, the snapshot of Kentucky’s high school recruiting right now is downright grim: a bizarre, dragged-out recruitment with Tyran Stokes, momentum slipping with Christian Collins, and not a single 2026 commitment on the board.
Rowland didn’t dance around it. His conclusion was blunt, and Joe Tipton's were worse, he said "The odds have never been lower for Kentucky to land someone in recruiting than this year” That is horrific.
