Kentucky Wildcats Football Recruiting and SPARQ

Building on a post from last summer, a different kind of way to evaluate Kentucky's football recruits.

Last summerprovided an opportunity to evaluate prospects UK was recruiting for the first time via their SPARQ scores thanks to Nike's Regional Opening events. This summer, UK recruits and other prospects continue to participate in Phil Knight's patronage, so we can continue to gain insight into their athletic abilities, and then compare to their peers nationwide.

These single-day scores carry at least some value. Last year, the scores demonstrated Landon Young was undervalued months before he would receive his "five star status" from the recruiting services.
