Guys, I talked to another of UC's more recent offers today, Lexington Catholic (Ky.) 2020 quarterback Beau Allen. Has seven offers right now, from UC, Kentucky, Michigan, Maryland, Bowling Green, Troy and Eastern Kentucky.


Let me get this out of the way, Allen is a KY legacy. His dad, Bill Allen, played there in the early 1980s. There was even a point where there were rumors he had committed to the Wildcats. Allen was candid with me and said he was quite annoyed by those rumors. He likes UK and has obviously grown up around it, but he also is genuinely interested in others.

One of those is UC. The big reason is that when Joker Phillips was head coach at UK, he lived near Allen and his family and they became close. Allen said he's also talked with other members of the Bearcats staff, like Gino Guidugli and Mike Hartline, who's quality control on offense. Hartline played at Ky. Also noteworthy is Phillips played with Allen's dad at Kentucky.

Allen just went to Ole Miss yesterday for camp and camped last week at Wake Forest and Duke. No offers there, so don't put a ton of stock in those. He's headed to Kentucky Saturday, Purdue Monday and North Carolina and South Carolina over the next few weeks.

Yes, I still say Kentucky is the favorite. But it's not a guarantee. And that's where someone like UC could come in and actually have a chance, especially with the Joker Phillips connection.

Full story coming.
