I don't know how you sell anything on the offensive side. Might get a running back or a lineman. Stoops history with QBs and WRs outside of Levis and Wan'dale has been pretty poorGonna be a difficult sell to a lot of guys. I would have to think with the new roster limits, the best bet will be to pursue a lot of G5 or MAC level type guys who are playing well enough to make a jump and who might want to showcase their abilities on a bigger stage for NFL scouts. Probably only gonna find guys willing to come here that have one or two years left to play since barring a miracle transformation, the staff is pretty much lame duck as it is.
Sumrall might be, but it's likely for Carolina.Are there any good head coaches hitting the portal?
There are no more scholarship limits. Just a new roster limit of 105. They can all be on scholarship.We will need some coaches maybe a Coach who brings players with him such as Western got from another school a few years ago!! Can Walkons get Nil and avoid Scholarship limits
SEC scholarship limits will be 85 for 2025.There are no more scholarship limits. Just a new roster limit of 105. They can all be on scholarship.
85 is a SEC thing and why they want to work at a 20 scholarship disadvantage is beyond me.Is that just an SEC thing? And why, if the rest of College football can go to 105?
Many transfers value stability second only to money. There isn't any of those here. It's going to be tough sledding going forward.
I'd say it's to save money. Keep schools from just stockpiling talent that won't play and cost the schools millions.85 is a SEC thing and why they want to work at a 20 scholarship disadvantage is beyond me.
Stop posting then.LOL, who TF cares?
Sorry OP, nothin personal. But that's honestly how I feel.

It's why I'm saying that a lot of MAC level kids will be trying to make the move up with the new roster limits and a lot of the Walk-on type kids being cut from rosters will wind up at MAC level schools replacing them.There is more money, here, than at a MAC school. Sure, if other SEC schools bid, we might lose out, but lots of MAC players would give their eye teeth for a shot at playing SEC ball on national television every Saturday. And we form the Southern/South Western border of 4 states with MAC programs . . . a 2/3 hour drive from half the MAC.
Then you need to go away. Stoops is staying and no one will change that. I don't like him and you don't like him but I love Kentucky and just complaining is doing no good for anyone especially the men on the team that are staying to play at UK.LOL, who TF cares?

I'm ready for change as much as anyone, but I've also been a lifelong fan and have sat through and witnessed close to 50 years of ups and downs with this football team since I started following them as a young kid in the 70's. I'm still gonna have my season tickets come hell or high water. So if Stoops is still going to be our Coach for at least one more year, then I have to accept that and start looking for the silver linings. Things tempered a bit this week with Macklin saying he's still on board and with all but two of the recruiting class signing. There's still a whole lot of roster turnover that's going to happen and we have to hope for the best.Then you need to go away. Stoops is staying and no one will change that. I don't like him and you don't like him but I love Kentucky and just complaining is doing no good for anyone especially the men on the team that are staying to play at UK.
Nah, I'm gonna stay around just to p!ss in your Cheerios, thank you very much. The program is circling the drain, just as it was during Joker's tenure. Total housecleaning is needed from top to bottom, so whomever we bring in via the portal to "right the ship" is just rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.Then you need to go away.

I don’t think we’ve had one since Josh Allen.Need a true pass rusher too. Should be up there with OT's.
No different than a few years ago...Gonna be a difficult sell to a lot of guys. I would have to think with the new roster limits, the best bet will be to pursue a lot of G5 or MAC level type guys who are playing well enough to make a jump and who might want to showcase their abilities on a bigger stage for NFL scouts.

I also have this suspicion...Maybe, just MAYBE, the kids leaving was part of the problem, not part of the solution. I think SOME of the kids leaving was the ones who was cancers in the locker room and gave half assed effort on the field. JMO, now coaching, we know what the problems are. But transfers can, and will be replaced.
Stoops was crystal clear in his post-season comments: "If you don't want to work don't come back." How many that left fell into that category? We have too many looking for the "Gotcha!" moment instead of what's said.Maybe, just MAYBE, the kids leaving was part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Dane Key is the ONLY player that has left so far that I feel was NOT a problem in the locker room OR didn't put the proper effort into the team. I may be wrong, but it seems like it.Maybe, just MAYBE, the kids leaving was part of the problem, not part of the solution.
