Typical Reactions When We Land a Three Star, Versus When We Lose a Three Star Commit . . . .

[The-Hack]

what do you think causes such an Anomaly?

Purely speculation, but I suspect it is somethin like a 4.0 GPA, or something close to it.

Coaches learn from harsh experience that all the athletic talent in the world won't keep the player in class, and motivated.

How many of Stoop's and staff's hours are spent on discipline and grade issues?

How much would it mean to a staff to have 85 players who self-govern their school activities?

What was Morgan Newton rated?

A 5.7, often mistaken for a 5.8.

I make it a policy to try and not get too high, or too low over any given recruit unless I have seen them play in person, or at least know someone who has. Even then, there are never any guarantees with any given player about how they will turnout.

For those who are truly fans of UK and not just out to find a new way or reason to bash Stoops, I feel your comment makes sense. While we have lost some games fans think we should have won, we have won some by close margins, such as final drive kicks. While last season could have been a 9 win season, it likewise could have been a 5 win season. The year before was even more toss up. It does seem like a minor change could set things back dramatically. While SJ was not highly touted or desired by P5 schools, I think a lot of pundits think, ironically, that losing him could be that negative factor. Its admittedly an unknown.

Big Dog said on kstv we should have won ten... I'm assuming he is speaking of Mississippi, Florida, Northwestern...Good post and I agree with both of you.

He already recanted that statement. Bad choice of words but not what he meant.

Yes, I responded before I read the entire thread
