This is Good News for Big Blue Nation

LEXINGTON, Ky. — Billy Stull's first recruiting letter came from the University of Kentucky. So did his first scholarship offer.

In the mind of Stull, rated by Rivals.com as the No.11 pro-style quarterback prospect in the nation, it only made sense to reward the Wildcats with a commitment.

Stull said he told UK coach Rich Brooks yesterday that he plans to sign with the Cats on Feb. 2, national signing day. With the addition of Stull and Memphis lineman Jeremy Jarmon, who committed to UK over the weekend, the Cats' recruiting class of 2005 has stretched to 19.

Brooks also announced the signing of Fatu Turituri, an offensive lineman from Los Angeles Harbor College. Turituri, a native of Samoa, is expected to enroll next month and be available for UK's spring practice.

But Stull and Hopkinsville quarterback Curtis Pulley, Kentucky's Mr. Football, appear to be the jewels of this class. Pulley already has committed to UK, and Brooks has said that he wanted to sign two quarterbacks because the Cats have just two scholarship QBs returning.
