Simpson will be a good recruit and we are lucky to get him..
Sam Simpson knew what everyone thought. When it came to his college football recruitment, there was about as much suspense as in a Cuban election.
Everyone thought Kentucky was a lead-pipe cinch. Everyone had reason to think that.
Simpson's dad and high school coach, also Sam Simpson, was a 1970s-era Wildcats linebacker.
One of the elder Simpson's former Cat teammates, Chuck Smith, was the UK assistant assigned to woo young Sam into Blue.
Yet Sam Simpson had a message for everyone who thought his football future was pre-ordained:
Not so fast.
"One of my dad's former players, Zia Combs, went to Michigan," Simpson said of the former Henry Clay wide receiver. "So when I was little, I always rooted for Michigan.
Having pledged his verbal commitment to UK in August, Sam Simpson will officially sign Wednesday to be a Kentucky Wildcat.
