Kentucky lands commitment from in-state 4-star 2020 DB during All-American Bowl
In order to compete in the SEC (like they’ve been doing the past couple of years), the Kentucky Wildcats need to recruit well outside of their home state.
However, landing top in-state talent is also important, and that’s what the Wildcats did on Saturday.
During the All-American Game, 4-star S Vito Tisdale picked Kentucky over Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M and Oklahoma. You can see the moment he picked the Kentucky hat below:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Tisdale is the No. 33 safety in the class of 2020 and the No. 3 overall recruit from the state of Kentucky.
The Wildcats now have 22 players in their 2020 class, which currently ranks No. 23 in the nation and No. 9 in the SEC, per 247Sports.

Crazy how good Kentucky is recruiting right now
No kidding, This coaching staff is not afraid to recruit against the bigger programs. A previous coach said something along the lines of big time 4/5 star recruits would never come to UK so there is no since in wasting time trying to recruit them.
Stoops took a few years scraping in the mud and forming the footings, but now the foundation is complete and the Big Blue Building is coming out of the ground. This past two years, and the player development prior to that is starting to pay dividends. I just hope he can keep it all rolling!
What Stoops is doing to UK is very impressive
UK has to recruit lights out right now to even stay any where close to the schools in the sec.this may be best recruiting class ever at UK it right now in the low 20’s which is awesome news but at same time they are 10 sec schools still in front.that’s crazy but great job stoops still amazing job.the east is also getting better by the day with Dan at flordia now and Kirby doing his thing at Georgia and tennesse is going to be lot better next year now you can throw UK in there as a team that can beat anybody on a given day and the east is looking pretty tough.congrats to all sec schools for doing what they do .best conference in football.
