When Joker meets with the media Wednesday afternoon, look for him to do what coaches do. Talk about how excited he is about this recruiting class will be for the future for UK.

There will be many True Blue fans who will say, that's nice, but the record needs to be better.

This is a list of Cats who are officially ready to wear Kentucky uniforms next season.

DB Daron Blaylock; DB Zack Blaylock; OL John Toth; DT Patrick Graffree; DB Fred Tiller; DB Jonathan Reed; DB Josh Harris; OL Zach Myers; DL Thomas Chapman; RB Dyshawn Mobley: WR A.J. Legree; DL Langston Newton; DB Cody Quinn; WR DeMarcus Sweat; OL Jordan Swindle; RB Justin Taylor; K/P Landon Foster; Khalid Henderson. Jalen Whitlow, QB/ATH, 6-2, 210, Fr-HS, Prattville, Ala. (Prattville).

The Cats are really excited over linebacker Khalid Henderson who is rated as the No. 19 outside linebacker in the nation by ESPN and the No. 17 prospect in Georgia. His name is pronounced Kah-LEED.

"Henderson timed under 4.6 in 40," Joker said via twitter. "ESPN rates No. 19 LB in nation. Wore #22 in HS, liked idea of wearing Danny T's number at UK - we do too!"

UK is taking advantage of some problems with Tennessee's football program.

"He's another we were waiting on pins and needles this week. Former Tennessee commit now with UK."

UK is looking for a home run threat at tailback. They hope Justin Taylor can fill the role.

"Former Alabama commit came with the Cats. Fine combination of speed and power, strong runner."

"He's one of the best running backs in the country," wide out coach Tee Martin told UK's web site.

Alabama wanted Taylor to redshirt.

As far as freshman running backs who will play next season.

"I don't look to redshirt anybody," says running back coach Steve Pardue on UK's site. "We hope everyone can come in ready to play. You need to have a stable of running backs. Running backs can also help on special teams. Redshirts usually come through injuries."
