The Kentucky Wildcats football program has been on a historic tear as of late, as they’ve secured commitment after commitment from some of the nation’s best recruits with the help of Marks Stoops and his All-Star cast of recruiters. But they may be on the verge of getting one of their biggest commitments to date, as  Darius West, a Class of 2014 4-star safety from Lima Central Catholic High School in Ohio, is hoping to make a commitment soon, and the Cats are in his final list of schools.

Depending on who you ask, UK  or Louisville have been viewed as West’s leader, and he recently picked up an offer from Michigan State, and now has offers from the Spartans along with West Virginia, Penn State, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, UL, Vanderbilt and UK.

My guess: I’m not one to make football predictions, but based on the recent recruiting hot-streak UK has been on, coupled with this tweet by UK’s recruiting heavy-hitter Vince Marrow…..

I’d say the Cats add West to what’s already being called the greatest recruiting class in the history of the Kentucky football program.
