Look for Mark Stoops and company to make more inroads in recruiting for the 2015 class over the next few months. Stoops is going feel some pressure to get another top 25 class and also to put more wins on the ledger in 2014. It’s a long way till the season starts however, and for now, Stoops is still riding the momentum of the 2014 class. Kentucky had a couple of five-star players in town for their Junior Day last weekend and now a five start DE plans to attend the Spring game.
"Does Mark Stoops have a legitimate shot at signing an out-of-state 5-star in 2015? It seems as though Glen Saint Mary (Fla.) Baker County 5-star strongside defensive end CeCe Jefferson has taken a definite liking to Kentucky early in the process. The 6-foot-2, 250-pounder, who moved up eight spots to No. 7 overall and No. 1 defensive end in the 247Sports Composite, tweeted a picture of himself wearing a Kentucky hoodie Thursday: @cecejeferson7: S/O to that #BBN man!!!! #Wildcats! The tweet received 82 retweets and was favorited 129 times. Last May Kentucky offered Jefferson, who also holds offers from the likes of Auburn, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Notre Dame, Ohio State and USC. Jefferson told Elam via Twitter he plans on attending UK’s Blue-White Spring Game April 26."

Damien Harris is just one example, but Mark Stoops is going aggressively after top players like no coach at Kentucky has ever done. Ben Roberts has done a great job of compiling some UK targets and how they rank in the latest Rivals rankings, so take the time to check it out.
