Well, can you point me in the direction of top Ohio recruiters looking for a job or looking to jump ship from a current position right now? W/o Marrow, we don't get those x-fers from Nebraska, either. I didn't say it was curtains for the program, just a massive blow to recruiting efforts in Ohio. Is that wrong? By all means, continue to hold out hope that this won't hurt UK. That's your prerogative. I'm worried, and that's my prerogative.
I see what you're saying, but this is out of our control, so I'm not worrying about it. We'll survive one way or another. I seriously doubt that we'll ever fall back into a Joker-esque football program that some of you all are suggesting. We may not find someone as good as Marrow, but it's possible we'll find someone similar. Someone above mentioned Ron Zook (that's a tough guy to get to UK), so there is hope somewhere.
Please accept my apologies if 'unicorn farts' is considered condescending. I'll try to round the edges off my words next time.
I'm with you and I understand that UKfan. I don't want this program to step backwards. I'm young in terms of football with UK, as I've only been around since Curry (not the greatest way to start as a fan, but what are you going to do) and haven't seen half of what most of you have seen. Regardless, I want to see success here.
I can't win here. I get it.
Dont' over react to this. It is almost certain that he is not working for Mich at the moment. The reports are that the recruit reached out to Marrow and Marrow talked to him. Marrow has not started talking to Mich's recruits so this report changes nothing. VM is still deciding from the looks of it and we likely won't know one way or the other until Monday or Tuesday. My bet is that he will as UK to match an offer and if UK does he stays. That's just a guess though.
Where are you getting these reports that he reached out to Marrow? The Mich sites I saw are reporting that Marrow was the one that contacted Clark. I hope Marrow stays, but I don't understand why he would be reaching out to Mich recruits. If Marrow didn't make the contact then It looks like either Clark is lying or the reporters have misunderstood who made the contact.
Hopefully the ONE four star from 12 will lead us to the promised land, IF he improves and even starts. But, 0.5% of the seven from Ohio is probably going to contribute more than the ONE four star we got in the 10 and 11 classes, although there is still some hope for Faulkner. The 09 class had TWO four stars that contributed, but both were JCs only here two years. and I didn't see a whole lot from our ONE in the 08 class, Boyd had one good game IIRC. The 07 class, coming after our only break even SEC season year this century, (but mitch told Brooks, no, we can't even replace the folding chairs in the "recruiting room") had ZERO four stars, certainly 0.5% of the seven will have to be better than ZERO. But maybe they made up for it by signing 19 two stars, LOL, but that was topped by the 05 class also with zero four stars but with 22 three stars, with only four three stars, two from Kentucky and two JCs. The TWO four stars in 06, both from Kentucky, certainly had a big influence on UK's defense, and Peters is still playing in the NFL.
How so?
Speaking for myself, I'd prefer a guy who calls his own plays and an ace recruiter... This WVU guy may be good, but who knows? You don't.
Jeez, dude. I think you're the one that doesn't get it. You're looking for someone to bash and your lack of reading comprehension skills is failing you in your moment of zeal. The issue being discussed was how we would fare replacing Marrow and how his presence at UM (and recruiting the same territory in Ohio against us) would hurt UK IF IF IF he left. I never said he was "gone." I only disputed his perceived lack of overall value to this program and the idea that he and his recruiting prowess in Ohio could easily be replaced here... a sentiment that was vehemently championed by NSS. And I stand by that statement. IF he'd left for UM and started poaching recruits, you same yokels looking to beat your chests tonight would be nowhere to be found on national signing day.
Lets be honest, it was only a litmus test if Marrow went to Michigan. It's not like you're gonna give Barnhart any credit for this.
The post of yours I responded to says nothing about "ifs". It's about you acting like a fool. It's very telling that you're criticizing folks for being happy that Marrow is staying. Are you happy about it? Doesn't seem like it. If you're even a UK fan, please go find another team. Doubt you're a fan though. Just a troll looking for entertainment. Sad, really.
