11 Personnel

We’re approaching the midpoint of the summer. Even though Kentucky football is still more than two months away, we can’t wait to scratch that itch much longer. That’s why 11 Personnel is just talking ball this week.

A longtime veteran on the beat, his thermometer is built to accurately take this program’s temperature as it undergoes significant change. A few things we’ll touch on today… — It’s recruiting Flip SZN — Who can raise the ceiling for this Kentucky football team? — Areas of concern on this roster — Are long-term boxes being checked?
