Kentucky Football announces Lamar Thomas hiring; Quotes from Mark Stoops

Lamar Thomas is UK's new receivers coach, and Mark Stoops is a happy man.

The Kentucky Wildcats have their new wide receivers coach, one day before National Signing Day commences.

Better late than never, and UK sure did a good job waiting until the last minute to secure the services of Lamar Thomas, who the school announced Tuesday will be the Cats' receivers coach going forward.

Thomas, one of the most productive wide receivers in college football history while playing for the Miami Hurricanes, joins the Kentucky coaching staff after two seasons at Louisville, a season with Western Kentucky and two years at Hampton.
