LEXINGTON — One of the country’s best recruits lists Kentucky among his finalists less than a week before his planned commitment date.

But this blue-chip prospect is not considering joining the annual influx of five-star recruits to John Calipari’s Kentucky basketball team. It’s Mark Stoops’ Kentucky football program that is believed to be leading in the race for five-star Michigan prep lineman Justin Rogers.

Rogers would be just the second player rated as a five-star prospect by Rivals.
