How about a quick game of Yahtzee! tonight? It could happen as Kengera Daniel will make his college announcement tonight.
"Daniel — a 6-foot-6, 250-pound prospect from Raleigh, N.C. — has emerged as one of UK’s top recruiting targets in recent months. He is also listing Alabama, Louisville, N.C. State and Virginia as possible college destinations. Rivals.com ranks Daniel as the No. 16 weakside defensive end in the class of 2015 and the No. 15 overall prospect from North Carolina. He took an official visit to UK for the Cats’ upset victory over South Carolina earlier this month. Daniel is expected to announce his decision around 7 p.m. Wednesday, possibly on Twitter (his handle is @WYWH_Daniel22). As of Wednesday morning, 92 percent of predictions on Daniel’s 247Sports Crystal Ball page had him picking Kentucky, and the other 8 percent went to schools that he is no longer considering. N.C. State seems to be UK’s most realistic competition in the recruitment."

Kentucky got some more good recruiting news last night as UK is in a very good position with a top 100 target in 2015.
"First, Rivals analyst Adam Friedman reported that four-star cornerback Marcus Lewis will take an official visit to Kentucky before making his college decision. Then, Rivals national analyst Mike Farrell tweeted that he considers UK the favorite in Lewis’ recruitment. Lewis — a 6-foot prospect from Washington, D.C. — has already been committed to Florida and Virginia Tech, though he is currently uncommitted. He also has scholarship offers from Michigan, Miami, Oregon, Georgia and Notre Dame, among others. Lewis took an official visit to Washington State earlier this month. Farrell noted in his tweet that he considers Georgia and Miami to be UK’s top competition in the recruitment. Rivals ranks Lewis as the No. 7 cornerback and No. 90 overall prospect in the class of 2015. UK has never received a commitment from an out-of-state prospect ranked in the Rivals Top 100, which dates back to 2002. Former Fort Campbell High standout Micah Johnson (ranked No. 36 nationally in 2006) is the only Rivals 100 player who has ever committed to the Cats. Lewis is also a high school teammate of wide receiver Jabari Greenwood, who committed to UK earlier this year. Both players will take their official visits to Lexington on the weekend of Dec. 13, when the UK basketball team hosts North Carolina."
