“The recipe for Kentucky’s success under [Mark] Stoops isn’t there right now, unless they hit on every portal guy they brought in and [Zach] Calzada is significantly better than he was the last time in the league.”“They weren’t aggressive or physical on the lines last season. They didn’t really play like those Mark Stoops teams that would beat you up.”
“Stoops doesn’t seem like the guy who’s going to radically adjust to win in this NIL and portal era, and it’s starting to show up on the field.”
“This is a make-or-break year for the future of this program. He’s got a very friendly contract that makes him hard to fire, but right now it’s hard to look at the overall roster here and think they’re keeping pace with programs like Vanderbilt and South Carolina, who changed with the time.”
