UK Coach Mark Stoops said on national signing day earlier this month that his recruiting class of 2017 will be smaller than in past years, but the Wildcats are still expecting another talented haul of prospects.

Six players have already committed to UK for next year, including Lafayette quarterback Walker Wood and several highly touted out-of-state recruits.

Check out our updated Next Cats page for the latest tidbits on 20 uncommitted players in the class of 2017 who are on UK’s recruiting radar, including links to each player’s recruiting profile page from all of the major national websites.

The 2017 recruiting page — which also includes notes and links on the Wildcats’ six commitments — will be updated throughout the year with the latest on UK’s top targets.
