And you thought we would be talking all Final Four this week. According to Steve Jones of the Cats…ummm….Illustrated, Kentucky picked up a commitment from 2012 quarterback Patrick Towles from Fort Thomas. The 6′5″, 232 pounder is rated as one of ESPN’s Top 150 for the class and held offers from UK, U of L, Illinois, Cincinnati and Vanderbilt. He also received looks from Georgia, Notre Dame, Penn State, Stanford and a number of other big football schools. He’s joins in-staters Thomas Chapman and Josh Harris in Kentucky’s 2012 class.
