Live Signing Day Coverage on Wednesday
LEXINGTON, Ky. – With the new December signing period in effect for the first time, fans will be able to follow along as Kentucky football signs the next generation of Wildcat stars on Wednesday with a Signing Day live stream on UKathletics.com and SEC Network + and behind-the-scenes coverage on social media.
Signing Day coverage, presented by Kentucky Farm Bureau, is set to begin at 7:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday and continue until mid-morning. Kentucky Wildcats TV will produce its groundbreaking webcast live from the UK football war room, located in the recruiting room at Kroger Field. The live stream will be broadcast on UKathletics.com and SEC Network +.
In addition to being the source for news when the latest signees become official members of Mark Stoops’ latest highly touted recruiting class, the live stream will feature exclusive access to Stoops and his staff. Christi Thomas and Dick Gabriel will host the show, while Jeff Piecoro and Jeremy Jarmon will interview coaches and other guests. Freddie Maggard will man the Film Room, breaking down tape of the signees.
Coverage will extend well beyond the live stream. Fans can join the conversation and ask questions on Twitter by using the hashtag #BluegrassBound18 and the best tweets will appear on the live stream. Coaches and other special guests will also be featured on UK Athletics’ various social-media platforms throughout the morning.
