The biggest recruiting moment for UK Football in a long time may be taking place this weekend as Vince Marrow contemplates whether to leave UK and take a job at Michigan. There is a great deal of misinformation out there on this and reports have ranged from Marrow definitely coming back to having already accepted the job at Michigan. I have spoken with a source close to the situation and am confident neither one of the above reports is true. At this point, here is where things stand:

— Marrow has a job offer from Michigan and Harbaugh to take a job similar to the one that he has here.

— Marrow is torn as to what to do and has a deep affection for both Mark Stoops and Lexington.

— UK will be communicating with Marrow this weekend to try and keep him at the University.

This is where we stand as of now. I am not sure when the final decision will be made, but I can’t imagine that it goes later than Monday. My gut instinct after talking to some folks is that Marrow is genuinely torn and that if Kentucky can come close to the offer on the table from Michigan, he will stay. But that remains to be seen and is just my feeling, not fact.

Either way, I do think whatever happens with Marrow will be huge for the program. He is responsible for around 30% of UK’s commits under Stoops and has had an impact on a number of others. While I trust Stoops could find a replacement, Marrow is a known, successful commodity and would be a huge loss, especially on the 2015 class. It is important to do all that can be done to keep him.

I THINK KY WILL MATCH THE OFFER, THEY OWE THAT TO STOOPS, AND HIS COMMITMENT TO RESTORE OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM. STOOPS WILL LOBBY HARD TO BARNEY, TO MATCH OR GO ABOVE OFFER. THANX ELEEM FOR KEEPING US INFORMED YOU ARE THE MAN. :)ONE OTHER THING ON THIS WHEN MARROW LOOKED THESE RECRUITS IN THE EYE AND SAID HE WOULD BE HERE HE SHOULD KEEP HIS WORD, A MANS WORD GOES ALONG WAY FROM WHERE IM FROM.

He has been a big part of our team since he has been here and hopes he stays and continues his help moving the program forward.

BUT THE THING HERE IS MICHIGAN COMPARED TO KY, IN FOOTBALL, AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON. SO THERE IN MIGHT BE THE ANSWER.

Keep the faith and would bet if we keep Marrow we get Harris.

If we lose Marrow we probably will see Harris going to Bama.

I believe our only competition after the bowl games is Ohio St. It's hard to turn down a winner.

OREGON WILL BEAT OHIO ST. IMO

RELAX HARISS WILL BE A WILDCAT. NOBODY LOVES U LIKE UR OWN FOLKS.

Oregon has speed to burn and it's going to be interesting to see how Ohio State handles all that speed.

When Harris signs on the dotted line, then and only then will I relax.

I hope Marrow stays and helps build this program!

Very few Cat fans would want Marrow to leave.

BG, If Harris's decision was as easy as you say it is he would have committed to Kentucky months ago. He may choose the Cats but it wasn't as easy of a decision as a few might think and I bet even his own mother would agree.

THE WORLD WONT END IF HE GOES TO BAMA, RELAX, HE WILL BE A CAT. DRINK SOME SWEET TEA, AND RELAX.

WHY WOULD HARISS WANT TO COMMIT MONTHS AGO, WHEN HE CAN TAKE ALL THEM VISITS, HAVE A GOOD TIME AS A HIGH SCHOOL KID, HE WILL NEVER GET BACK, AND SEE ALL THEM PRETTY GIRLS. [Wink]
