Mikel Horton announced his decision to come play his college football in Lexington, KY. Horton is a four star Power Running Back out of Westchester, OH and marks the third commit of 2014 for Stoops and company. The staff is just getting it done on the recruiting trail and specifically in Ohio. All three guys in the class hail from our neighbor to the north. Horton chose UK over teams like Florida State, Louisville, Vanderbilt, Boston College, Cincinnati. A pretty solid list there and just another sign that this was a huge pickup for the Cats and a major get for the backfield.

UK Football Holds Spring Game Saturday; Record Attendance
The Mark Stoops era as head coach of the Kentucky football team witnessed perhaps its greatest highlight yet as 50,831 rejuvenated fans attended the 2013 Blue/White Spring Game at Commonwealth Stadium Saturday night. Saturday night's crowd, the largest to attend a spring game in program history, saw the Blue squad squeak out a one-point victory over the White team in the annual scrimmage, 24-23. It was Stoops first time out on the Commonwealth Stadium turf with his new team in front of the fans after 14 spring practices installing offensive and defensive schemes. The evening marked the height of the growing excitement around Kentucky football which was sparked with the hiring of Stoops on Nov. 27 last year. Since that moment, a fan base had its attention turned to a new-look, new-attitude program. With very little decided in the way of starters and roles, all five of Kentucky's quarterbacks received reps during Saturday evening's scrimmage, with the majority of the opportunities going to Maxwell Smith, Patrick Towles and Jalen Whitlow. Coach Stoops and offensive coordinator Neal Brown have yet to determine who their starting quarterback will be going into the fall, and with very little chance to see them up-close and personal, there's no hurry to name one. Whitlow did a little bit of everything in the game, displaying a strong, accurate arm, finding multiple receivers, and showing off his speed which gives him a unique, additional element to his game. He finished the night 17-of-28 with 193 yards and two touchdowns through the air, while scampering for 49 net yards on seven attempts on the ground while toggling back and forth between the Blue and White squads.
Maxwell Smith, who was relatively quiet on the evening entering the fourth quarter, made one of the biggest throws of the game late in the fourth to try and pull the White team even. Smith hit Demarco Robinson on a 47-yard connection down the sideline for the longest play in the game and the potential game-tying score. At 24-23, the White team elected to try and take the lead with a two-point conversion attempt. The passing attempt fell incomplete, leaving the score at 24-23, which would be the final tally. As the night concluded, both teams met at the 50-yard line to meet with Stoops and the staff at the UK logo for the very first time and the last time until the 2013 season gets underway in August 31 in Nashville, Tenn., when the Stoops era officially gets underway. The night capped off an encouraging four-week, 15-practice stretch of schematic installation and improvement.

* The Kentucky Wildcats earned a no.1 seed in the NIT -- Virginia, Alabama and Southern Miss are the other no. 1 seeds. Kentucky will play at no. 8 Robert Morris on Tonight at 7:30 pm (ESPN). According to a press release from Coah Cal "We did not place a bid to host the first round of the NIT due to limited staff availability to properly host a game at Memorial Coliseum. Because the University of Kentucky is hosting the NCAA second- and third-round games at Rupp Arena on March 21 and 23, the facility was not available for a first-round NIT game. We placed a bid to host both the second round and quarterfinal games at Rupp Arena if we advance." Kentucky last played in the NIT in 2009 (22-14, 8-8 SEC). Billy Gillispie took the Cats to the quarterfinal round where they lost to Notre Dame, 77-67. John Calipari has since taken the Cats to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments. If the CATS win tonight, they will play at Rupp Arena on Sunday TBA.
* Despite missing the final eight games of the season, Nerlens Noel is part of the All-SEC first team announced Monday by The Associated Press. Georgia sophomore Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has been named player of the year, Florida's Billy Donovan was named as coach of the year and Mississippi's Marshall Henderson as newcomer of the year.
Other State Notes:
* Louisville men's bsketball team has earned the top overall seed in the NCAA tournament, as announced on Sunday. The No. 4 Louisville Cardinals (29-5) that got the overall top seed after sharing the Big East regular-season title, then pulling off a stunning comeback to beat Syracuse in the conference tournament final. They will begin play in Lexington @ Rupp Arena on Thursday.
