GL today Cruncher!!

How'd Kentucky do in football recruiting? Grade wise? Give 'em an A? I haven't had time to check. Most SEC schools were in top 20 according to the espn experts on recruiting.

Thanks WB; They had around 5 guys that bailed on them unfortunately, but when you have Ohio St, Michigan St, and Auburn come calling late they are hard to turn down. In spite of that they got some late additions that they weren't expecting that could really help. Two JC DT's, a possible under the radar RB from Georgia; he's he was a little small but fast and was the Georgia 6A offensive player of the year, I think. Got an under the radar DE out of New Jersey. Rutgers wasn't paying him any attention so most other big schools weren't either. His coach called someone on the Kentucky staff and explained that he had sent 3 other DE's to the likes of Ohio St, etc in the past and said this guy was better than all 3. Got some weight to put on but maybe he will work out. They got some good receivers and DB's, plus two transfers from Nebraska; a TE and a middle LB. They signed a good TE out of Ohio also; they haven't had a good receiving tight end since Jacob Tamme. Time will tell, like Hawkeye said one time; a 3rd or more may not even work out, for everybody. Overall, a decent class with potential; but still ranked about 12 or so in the SEC; such is the life of a Kentucky football fan.

Forgot to mention WB; the biggest loss was in state RB Damien Harris, the #1 RB prospect in the country, he signed with Alabama. If he had stayed home we might have not had so many deflect. Also lost out on a good in state QB from Caldwell County, can't spell his name, he signed with Purdue but had been committed with them for some time. They just need to win 6 games and go to a bowl; I think Stoops is the right man for the job.
