2012 Class

[blue12]

Will the 2012 class be the first that we are not number 1 in a few years? Some of the top players have already gave verbals and UK is yet to get the first, at least at this time. For those in the know, how does anyone think UK will end up ranked?

First of all, I am not someone "in the know". But I'll offer this!

The rankings of the 2012 class will change greatly by this time next year. So seeing some top players off the board means little. Remember that this time last year Davis was not top 100. He's now top 3 in most all polls, and top 3 in next year's mock drafts.

From the 2012 class UK will for certain need to replace Vargas, Liggins and Miller. Will also need to replace Jones and/or Knight if either comes back. Possibly Lamb as well. And if the so-called one and done rule is still in effect they'll need to replace at least one in Davis. I see UK needing as many as 6 recruits from 2012. Maybe more. I have no doubt in my mind that Cal will have another # 1 class.

You have to chuckle when our fans begin to go ape crap over the 2012 class. Like CAL has really let down since he has been here. lol, remember take the medication.

 

[Cats192]

What's the word on Andre Drummond? Has he said no interest in UK, or have we not pursued him yet?

Macon apparently will be a close call academically

We are listed on ESPN, but not on any other sites. I don't think he really has any clue what he wants to do, which makes it really hard for us to have any idea.
