UK may have great seasons in the future but they will never have better players than half the SEC. Georgia, Florida, Bama, LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn will always have more talent than UK. The team left like Tennessee, the Mississippi schools will do whatever it takes to get players. U.K., Vandy, and Missouri will always suck hind tit
No matter what UK does the rest of the year they will always have a football program like the one you see on the field today. UK could go undefeated and that would be great in any year but at UK it would be the exception, an anomolie, and would never affect the perception of UK. Going undefeated at UK is the exception but at the SEC powerhouses, going undefeated is expected every year. That is the simple facts. When fans, coaches, AD, and have low expectation and accept 6-7-8 win seasons as being successful, what you see is what you get.

Not sure his attitude affects UK's recruiting.with your attitude, we certainly won't sign better recruiting classes....
It's your losing mentality that needs to be adjusted.
There is no reason UK cannot start recruiting with the best teams in the SEC if we keep improving. We have the facilities, we have a fan base that will continue to support the program especially if we keep going to bowls, etc.
There are only so many spots on a football team. UK can find enough top notch recruits in the states of Ohio, Kentucky, Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, etc. to field a top notch SEC program.
It can happen. We just have to keep racking up 8+ win seasons and top recruits will consider us.

Let’s expand on this smart scheduling concept for a bit. Given that 9 games on our schedule are set and the other three we usually play couldn’t beat Trinity High School, I’d be interested to know what you’re proposing here that could help us get to 10 wins.With smart scheduling and some 4 stars on the offensive line.....we can win 10. I seen it this year with my eyes ....its possible
We got this someday
Well, that's some telling stats. I would guess Wisconsin has a great coaching staff.Let's compare Wisconsin recruiting to Kentucky:
2013:
W: 57
K: 29
2014:
W: 33
K: 17
2015:
W: 37
K: 35
2016:
W: 35
K: 28
2017:
W: 35
K: 26
In case you missed it, Kentucky is 7-4 with losses against two teams that are 4-6 and 5-5 while Wisconsin is undefeated and 11-0. Wisconsin has the 50th hardest schedule and Kentucky has the 66th.
So... How is it that Wisconsin can be undefeated while we lose inexcusable games like Ole Miss and Florida and then get blown out by the two teams with respectable resumes?
You’re supposed to say they’re not in the SEC. That’s the standard answer to everything. I can’t believe you didn’t know that.Well, that's some telling stats. I would guess Wisconsin has a great coaching staff.
We only lost to Georgia by one more point than they did. So there’s that.Let's do another one:
2017
Miss State: 27
Kentucky: 26
2016:
Miss State: 34
Kentucky: 28
2015:
Miss State: 16
Kentucky: 35
2014:
Miss State: 37
Kentucky: 17
2013:
Miss State: 26
Kentucky:29
Very similar recruiting over the last 5 years and yet they demolished us. Why? While they only have one more win, they've faced a top 15 schedule while UK certainly has not.
We only lost to Georgia by one more point than they did. So there’s that.
We play a style of football similar to the top talent in the league. When we go against the top talent it comes down to the trenches and we can't compete. We are #99 in run/pass ratio and only Georgia, Bama, LSU, and Miss St. like to run it more than we do. Look at the common opponents that took us to the woodshed and understand why we don't compete. You can't play smashmouth against superior talent.
And we did beat them last year, while they have some of the best juco programs right in their back yard.We only lost to Georgia by one more point than they did. So there’s that.
Obviously, their coaching staff does a much better job at player development.How or why does Miss State have superior talent? Our recruiting has been strikingly similar over the past 5 years. So, how did they get so much more talent than us?
And they play in the Big 10.... west !Well, that's some telling stats. I would guess Wisconsin has a great coaching staff.
And they play in the Big 10.... west !
Whoa, slow down there. Don't go out on a limb."Never" is a long time. Although it hasn't happened in my 50 yrs of following UK football, it still could happen some day.
UK didn't choose Rupp over The Bear, Bryant chose to leave. Bryant even said he regretted leaving... but go ahead and keep thinking UK ran him off.I'm sorry but their is talk and the reality of the situation. UK choose years ago which direction it wanted to take. It choose basketball not football. In the 50's UK was both a football and basketball power. It choose Rupp over The Bear. Literally it chose basketball over football. UK had many chances after Bear to get great football coaches but because the fans have such low expectations on the football field the attitude was we can hire anyone because we have the greatest basketball program in the SEC.
UK may have great seasons in the future but they will never have better players than half the SEC. Georgia, Florida, Bama, LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn will always have more talent than UK. The team left like Tennessee, the Mississippi schools will do whatever it takes to get players. U.K., Vandy, and Missouri will always suck hind tit

We are currently playing "smashmouth" because that is what is working. That wasn't the plan. The plan was Drew Barker... remember? Had he not been injured last year we would have been much more pass heavy. It was when we started running the ball that we started winning games.We play a style of football similar to the top talent in the league. When we go against the top talent it comes down to the trenches and we can't compete. We are #99 in run/pass ratio and only Georgia, Bama, LSU, and Miss St. like to run it more than we do. Look at the common opponents that took us to the woodshed and understand why we don't compete. You can't play smashmouth against superior talent.
We will always have better or close to equal talent to 8 of our opponents every year (3 OOC, UL, Vandy, USC, Mizzou and MSU). We will never have better or close to equal talent to 3 of our opponents every year (UGA, UF, UT). The last game depends on who are rotating team is from the west.
You can talk all you want about negativity from the fanbase affecting recruiting. Our play this season speaks volumes about the direction of the program. I.e. it isn't on an upward trajectory.
Stoops had the easiest schedule of any UK coach in memory, and this sorry shit is what we put on the field in year 5.
You all do understand that we will have a losing record next season, right?

IF they coulda pulled off uf and ole miss it would have been a huge boost to recruiting. Players want to see coaches who can win.
