After this football season and the number of expected transfers out, I expected to be pretty bummed out by spring practice. There is no telling who else may come on board or how any/all of these incoming transfers will eventually pan out. But, man, the staff has done some excellent work, way better than I expected. With our schedule this season, we may not be much more successful than the last one, but you have to give the staff some props for working the portal better than almost every other team out there as far as addressing the major holes we had to fill. Really only a LT remains and they may have one in their sights as I type this. Either way, the team, on paper, looks pretty decent top to bottom. We'll never have GA or AL talent but it looks to me like we have the same or better talent for 2025 as we did this past year and I was very optimistic about our team this past year. If we've weeded out the cancers which allegedly were in the locker room last year and the team is really ready to work and play 100% all-in, we may surprise (meaning 5+ wins) some folks, including me, this year. I am not falling into the same trap as I've done before 50+ times and will wait until I see them on the field against an opponent. But, it appears that much of the bleeding has been stopped and some interesting pieces, both transfers and income FR, are ready for their chance.
I have to give Stoops and the staff some major props
- Thread starter gamecockcat
- Start date
Just not sure Stoops has the ability to turn it around. He wanted out and was forced to come back last season. Talent isn’t KY’s issues.
Unfortunately, you don't have success in the SEC with the level of talent UK will have in 2025.
Now, you MIGHT be able to sneak out a 7-5 season, which then moves the goal posts.
Unfortunately, that just brings Stoops right back to where he was years ago.
Does he have the ability to bring in the talent necessary to even beat South Carolina, Missouri and Florida? And then actually go out and have a season where they are in the mix for the CFP?
Feels like a multi-year project which is nice for Stoops.
