Kentucky out: One of the state's top linemen, Murray's Cory Zirbel, has apparently eliminated Kentucky. He's narrowed his choices to Michigan and Miami and will make official visits to both this fall before making his collegiate decision by the end of October.
Zirbel attended numerous camps this summer, including one at Kentucky, but indicated early that the Cats were probably not going to be among his final schools. His family moved to Murray from Wisconsin and he has no other family ties to the Bluegrass.
That's why Michigan, the first school where he took an unofficial visit, has been No. 1 on his list for months and remains so now with Miami No. 2.
Zirbel is ranked among the nation's top 100 recruits by several high school recruiting analysts.
