Following three straight bowl appearances capped of with a 10-3 season and Citrus Bowl victory over a big named opponent, I thought UK would be able to lure more highly rated players to its program than it has in the past. However, according to Rivals, UK is ranked 31st behind these SEC schools with their respective rankings.
1. Alabama
2. Georgia
5. Texam A&M
6. LSU
11. Florida
15. Tennessee
16. Auburn
18. Arkansas
19. South Carolina
23. Mississippis State
24 Mississippi
31. Kentucky
32 Missouri
47. Vanderbilt
While for the most part, Kentucky has traditionally been ranked as having the 10th best recruiting class in the SEC or worse, it would seem reasonable to assume that after three consecutive successful years, UK would be able to attract better quality recruits than it has in years past. Alas, it hasn't happend yet. We are currently ranked 12th. Hopefully, we will get some more 4 star players to sign this month but even with a few more, it appears we are still going to be about 10th best in the SEC when it comes to recuiting. All of this makes what Stoops and his staff have done even more noteworthy.
