Picked UK over VT, SC, Maryland, Arkansas. Out of Richmond, Virginia.
FB: 4 STAR WR Iveon Lewis to Kentucky
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
Love how Stein is whipping the traditional FB powerhouse programs on a regular basis in recruiting!
We have us a football coach!

Taking him out of his own backyard is always a BIG get. AWESOME job Stein and company
Nice to be able to smack James Franklin around a bit by taking a 4 star he wanted right out of his back yard. Good addition! Isn't it awesome to finally be able to land really good QBs and WRs?
Stein and staff are impressive recruiters. A major turnaround for this program.
Amazing how hiring a coach from a football powerhouse is able to take what he has learned and apply it to getting UK up to snuff.
Imagine if we had tried that with basketball

Stein will stay at Kentucky and continue to do an incredible job. I'm using the same logic that some of you apply to guys like Hurely or May. It swings both ways. I love what he's doing in Lexington and I'm excited to see him continue to compete at a high level over the next few decades.
Stein continues to kill it recruiting.
The staff is doing a great job,this is a big recruit.Kentucky football is on a heater.
Looks like a superstar. Lynn Bowden style.

I was disappointed when we lost instate recruits Driver, Brown and Evans. But it really doesn’t matter because this staff is going out of state and signing equally impressive athletes. Stein is a confident coach with a lot of swag and recruits are digging it. I’m pumped for football.
Prior to Stein, losing instate recruits that were nationally ranked would have killed UK's recruiting class.
Not anymore.
It’s tough to begin recruiting in new areas but Drivers recruitment isn’t over until it’s over
Those 2 have 3 titles and 5 final fours. Not a hot take that they can keep it up. Stein has coached 0 games.
I couldn't be happier with Stein's recruiting. If he can coach anywhere close to the level he recruits we are in good hands.
I thought Stein might struggle out of the gate bc of our reputation & his inexperience as a HC. I figured he’d do ok with his first recruiting class & that he’d take a major leap in year 2 after recruits saw his system in action. But, cleaning up like this before he’s even coached a game is seriously impressive. I won’t be shocked if he exceeds expectations on the field in year 1, either. Such a pleasant change to have hope in the program.
HOLY WOW, LET'S GO! Stein may need to help with our Basketball recruiting in his free time.
Hellz yeah!! I notice we’re beating out VT quite a bit for some dudes. Is Franklin a bit salty and wants in on every guy we’re recruiting or is it just me?
Our OC Sloan and DC Bateman are both from the Richmond, VA area. First kid we signed after CWS got here for the ‘26 class was 4* Andre Clark from Henrico which is basically a Richmond school. Lots of talent in that area and Hampton Roads, think we’ll hopefully pull a couple of guys out of there every year. Staff is killing it.
Stein is the only thing keeping me interesting in UK sports at the moment. The women's basketball team is also recruiting well, but I don't follow them that much.
Sounds like a nice pickup for the CATS. 
Agree but driver maybe is the one who missed the bus. We're moving on.
Stein killing it in recruiting will put more pressure on in state kids to commit early instead of stringing us along.
Incredible get, if we can hold him. Vtech got a big cash infusion iirc so we were almost surely not the highest bidder.
Will is absolutely killing it hopefully it carries over to the product on the field. 
I’m so excited for football season. I think Stein is going to do really well. I really liked what he did offensively at Oregon
In addition to being talented, he also seems like a really good person. Contrast his behavior with that of Tyran Stokes and it is easy to see. It is good to see Will Stein is recruiting quality young men into the program. Talent matters, but so does character.
