LOTS OF LOVE
It's no stretch to say that Frankfort (Ky.) Western Hills athlete
Wandale Robinson is one of Kentucky's top in-state recruiting priorities from the 2019 class. His film is dynamic, he turned in a strong camp performance when Cats Illustrated was able to observe over the summer, and just over the weekend he turned in a six-touchdown performance for his high school team.
The UK-EKU game wasn't a big recruiting event, so far as Saturdays in the fall sometimes go, but Robinson was a big name, important recruit at Kroger Field.
He spoke with Cats Illustrated following his trip to Lexington.
