No UK visit in the plans for four-star football recruit Russ Yeast

Four-star football recruit Russ Yeast told the Herald-Leader on Tuesday morning that he has decided not to visit the University of Kentucky this weekend.

Yeast — the son of former UK star Craig Yeast — committed to the Wildcats in the summer of 2015, backed off of that commitment last June and then committed to Louisville in October.

At that time, it was thought that Kentucky had moved on and no longer considered Yeast an option for its 2017 recruiting class, but Coach Mark Stoops traveled to Indiana for an in-home visit with Yeast and his family last week, sparking the possibility that the dynamic playmaker might re-join the Wildcats’ class.
