Badminton, anyone? Mark Stoops tries new way to flip 5-star OT from Alabama

Can Kentucky really flip five-star offensive tackle Jedrick Wills from Alabama? A game of badminton proves the Wildcats are going to try.

The Kentucky offensive coaching staff, led by coach Mark Stoops and play-caller Eddie Gran, was spotted with Wills at a restaurant, as reported by Kentucky Sports Radio. Wills is from Lexington (Ky.) Lafayette.

Wills — with his distinctive hairstyle, the offensive tackle isn’t hard to spot — appears on the left of the photo, reportedly taken at the well-known Malone’s steakhouse in Lexington. But dinner at a steakhouse — that’s old news. Everybody’s seen that approach before.
