Thanks but no thanks: Hawkins reaffirms commitment after Miami offer
Miami's football program has a lot going for it these days. The top-ranked 2018 recruiting class in the country and a team that's probably the favorite in their half of the ACC.
So it shouldn't have surprised anyone that there was a minor uproar when Kentucky defensive end commitment Davoan Hawkins landed a commitment from the Hurricanes.
Throw in the fact that Hawkins had participated in a camp at Miami and that he's a South Florida guy (i.e. local for the Canes) and it's easy to understand why there might have been some consternation.
But on Saturday, the same day fellow South Floridian Akeem Hayes shut down his recruitment, Hawkins reaffirmed his status as fully committed to Kentucky: 100-percent ... times five.
Hawkins posted to his Twitter account that he had heard a lot of talk that he might not be going to Kentucky. "Well I'm just here to stop all the confusion," Hawkins tweeted. "Davoan Hawkins is 500% committed to (the) University of Kentucky."
