I hate to tell you this but-------Juak, I’ve followed recruiting closely since 1985.
We inked no out-of-State 5 Star rated talent between Antonio Hall (2000) and Justin Rogers (2020).
You are correct. The three late commits were 5.7s, Priester, Gainer and Patterson joined the one 5.7 signed by Joker earlier, RB Raymond Sanders, that did play quite a bit. Guess I couldn't believe that UK was playing in the SEC with such dismal talent compared to today and I just had a brain f%$t. That same year Florida had over 50 four star commits the previous four ,years plus about a dozen five stars on their roster,' The (five star) from Cincy was actually the four star, Alex Smith, and I do believe I read someones blurb that said he was a five star.
But some interesting numbers from that class. Joker took over in January and the class was truly abysmal at that time, until the last minute when he added six commits on 2-3-2010 that averaged a decent 5.67. The previous 21 commits signed in the class averaged a robust 5.46, BELOW a three star.
