Looks like we are in for a good one with lots of talent..

One of the most powerful running backs in the Midwest may be making a blue decision soon. Rumors are surfacing that Mikel Horton will make his decision this weekend while participating at a Rivals Camp. Horton has been a primary target for the UK coaching staff, visiting campus on 3 separate occasions including last weekend’s Blue/White game. The Lakota West star is an important cog in developing the Ohio recruiting pipeline. If Stoops can add this ‘Ohio Boy’, watch for other top-players to follow.

22, he committed to the Cats only yesterday....Most Cat fans don't even realize how good of a recruit we got in Horton. It was a huge get and will make the Cats a lot better, he is that good.

Here is the only article I could find at this time on Horton committing to the Cats.

Middletown (Ohio) Lakota West running back Mikel Horton publicly announced his commitment to Kentucky Saturday.

Horton was in Lexington for Kentucky's record-setting Blue-White Spring Game last weekend, which drew 50,831 fans, more than double the previous record set in 1987.

Since the day he was hired, UK coach Mark Stoops said the state of Ohio would serve as the Wildcats' de facto home base. To that end, tight ends coach Vince Marrow was brought on board shortly thereafter. The Youngstown native was instrumental in helping land Horton and is now responsible for all three of UK's current 2014 commitments.

Horton (6-1, 225), rated as a top-50 running back nationally by 247Sports, chose UK over Florida State, Louisville, Purdue, Boston College and Vanderbilt. He is also the former teammate of 2013 UK signee Kyle Meadows.

22, If that's the case why didn't someone from UK announce it?

Posted by UKFan_22 (Member # 6216) on 04-20-2013, 02:10 PM:

Because he wanted to tell publicly today. Him and Mike Edwards both were suppose to announce today for the Cats which both already committed but there is some things Edwards is dealing with parents and coaches. When he comes out and announces today, I post the article from my writer who been talking to him.
