BREAKING: Minutes after WR coach exits, Kentucky flip 5-star WR recruit

In an unexpected twist, Kentucky football is now projected to flip wide receiver from Wisconsin, just moments after it was revealed that Kentucky’s wide receivers coach, Dakail Shorts Jr., is leaving for Nebraska. This sudden development highlights the unpredictable nature of college football recruiting.

Miller has already received three crystal ball predictions from 247Sports and additional projections from On3.com, both of which identify Shorts as his primary recruiter. Despite the odd circumstances, it seems likely that Miller will join Kentucky under head coach Mark Stoops and offensive coordinator Bush Hamdan.

Miller announced his decommitment from Wisconsin earlier today in a statement on X, expressing gratitude to Coach Fickell, Coach Guiton, and Coach Longo for believing in him, but explaining that, after discussions with his family, he had decided to reopen his recruitment.

Kentucky’s recruiting class has faced significant setbacks recently, losing top prospects like running back Marquise Davis and offensive tackle Tucker Kattus, which dropped their class ranking from the top 25 to 30. Further changes are anticipated.

If Miller commits to the Wildcats as predicted, he could provide a boost to a wide receiver room that has already seen losses to the transfer portal, including Barion Brown and Ja’Mori Maclin, as well as the departure of their primary position coach. Miller, a 3-star receiver with a near-4-star grade from 247Sports, would be a valuable addition to the program.
