Also, the pair discusses whether Razorbacks football coach Sam Pittman should partake in a personality makeover of sorts and what might be the pros and cons if he did.

Greetings, BBN. We here at A Sea Of Blue hope you’re having a fun and safe 4th of July weekend!

The work never stops for Mark Stoops and Co. as they look to keep Kentucky Football competitive with the ever-daunting SEC. A big piece of their 2025 class comes off the board today when 4-star recruit Dawayne Galloway is expected to announce his college decision today.

The standout cornerback out of Ohio is a consensus top-250 recruit ranked as high as 112th nationally by Rivals. He’s the kind of prospect you feel good about making an impact in the SEC, especially with Stoops’ history of developing high-level defensive backs.

Tweet of the Day

Get Galloway, and Kentucky is starting to flirt with a potential top-10 class…
