Update: He’s a cat.

Good morning, BBN!

Today is a big day; Acaden Lewis decides where he will go to school and the Kentucky Wildcats travel to play the Tennessee Volunteers.

Lewis’ visit to Kentucky last month seemed to go well. He was allowed to take photos with the ASB GlassFloor and even said of his visit to Kentucky: “You can’t beat it.”

Lewis’ top three schools are: Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue DevilsAnd UConn Huskies, and he will decide today at 2 p.m. It’s a tough call, but 247’s Crystal Ball has a 100 percent prediction for Kentucky, so it would be surprising to see a different result today.

You can stream the engagement online via On3.

When it comes to Kentucky football, there isn’t much optimism regarding their performance. It was one of the most challenging years of the Stoops era, and I don’t think that will change after today.

Tennessee is rocking their black-out jerseys and it’s a night game in Knoxville…we’ll see. The game begins at 7:45 p.m. ET on the SEC Network.

One of the biggest trolls you will see!
