UK Football Notebook
One of the things the University of Kentucky coaching staff must decide when fall camp opens is what to do with Randall Cobb. Cobb is one of, if not the most athletic and versatile members of UK's incoming freshman class.
The pre-season college football magazine circuit is in full swing, and the consensus is that the University of Kentucky will come back to earth a bit after back-to-back eight-win seasons and Music City Bowl trophies.
Kentucky Coach Rich Brooks was among the majority of Southeastern Conference football coaches who was in favor of adding a one-day early signing period in November. The league coaches voted 9-3 at the SEC meetings in Destin, Fla., this week to instill a fall signing period, but the SEC athletic directors and presidents surprisingly shot down the proposal on Friday.
With just one more week left in the May evaluation period, the Kentucky football program has already identified some of its priorities for its 2009 recruiting class.
The LaGrange, Ga., football program has served as quite a pipeline for the University of Kentucky over the years, providing the Wildcats with standouts such as Wesley Woodyard and Braxton Kelley.
Jared Lorenzen admitted to being shocked when he heard that the New York Giants had selected his former teammate, Andre Woodson, in the sixth round of the NFL Draft two weekends ago. The selection of Woodson gave the Giants five quarterbacks to work with. Most NFL teams keep only three.
The first thing you might recognize about the 2008 University of Kentucky football team is the fact that Andre Woodson, Keenan Burton, Jacob Tamme, Wesley Woodyard and Rafael Little are no longer in uniform.

University of Kentucky offensive coordinator Joker Phillips went into Saturday's second spring scrimmage hoping to sharpen a Wildcat passing game that has labored for most of the spring.
The University of Kentucky football players got plenty of chances to make a good first impression, as Coach Rich Brooks put them through a 95-play, one-hour, 20-minute scrimmage during their first official scrimmage of the spring Saturday at Commonwealth Stadium.
It was quite a week at Western Kentucky. In addition to the men's and women's basketball programs securing automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament, the Hilltoppers finalized a deal to come to Lexington next fall for the first-ever football matchup with the University of Kentucky.
Aside from Dewayne Robertson's 2003 workout, there hasn't been a whole lot of action going on in recent years at the University of Kentucky's Pro Day.
