Who was that guy who went to JUCO and never made it back that was supposed to be a hoss for a us a few years back? I know that's incredibly generic, but you might know the guy I'm referring to. Just wondered what ever happened to him.  Seems like he was a lineman.

Yeah, 7pm tonight Badet and JoJo....these would both be huge gets @ the WR and RB positions for us respectively.  I hadn't heard about Hearns....that sucks.  Hopefully he still comes through for us after getting his grades in order in JUCO if he goes that route.

I think the guy your wondering about is Rumph. And, he finally made it to UK. I'm sure there are plenty of others that don't, though.

Stoked about JoJo and Badet!!! Go Cats!!

Joker has a boss now who doesn't screw around.

We've had some turnover in WRs, only signed one last year, and the only ones we do have are underperforming worse than our OL- and that's pretty damning.
We're supposed to be taking 6 or 7 WRs this year.

And we already have a guy comitted for next season as well.

I have never heard of a school releasing a hype video for signing day. It's always been fans of teams that do it. Vid is pretty good I must say.

Yea i saw this. Looks pretty good, hopefully it persuades a few guys to commit. We just offered Ra'shaad Samples a scholarship and he opened back up his recruiting. I still think he's likely to stay with okie state but it looks good that he came here for a visit. Not to mention both Stoops and Brown had an in home visit. A 4* reciever would be a hell of a pick up.

Alright mofos we just landed two 4* recruits today. Gotta be the first time that's happened in forever. We actually flipped a guy that was going to USC, DE, Hatcher. Guess some kids are finally seeing past his bullshit. The other 4* is a WR who chose us over Ohio St, UL, and UCLA.

Stoops doing work!!!!

[PuddingTime]

The message has been sent....our borders are locked up.  Timmons announced he's coming today....Hatcher expected to pick Kentucky over Southern Cal tomorrow.

[PuddingTime]

Right now we're ranked 30th overall....that's w/out Hatcher's commitment.  We are going to end up Top 25.

Joker.  All the time he had invested and he couldn't get us above 50.  In two months Stoops has us in the Top 25.  WTF is he going to do with a full season and the football coffers full of $ after Big Blue Nation starts dumping serious $ into the program.

Strongly considering not eating for a few weeks just so I can get a season ticket.

Just pulled up KSR to see that 4* DE Keith Bryant is now considering Kentucky, along with South Carolina, Florida State, and Miami.  He wants playing time and we offer it.   I really don't think the rest of the SEC sees what's going on.   Obviously we're still gonna have to build and compete over the coming seasons....we're not gonna go 12-0 right off the bat, but I don't think these other schools realize what is happening in Lexington right now.  It's gonna hit them like a wall of bricks.

Big things are happenin thats for sure. I knew we'd have a good recruiting class but didn't expect all this to happen. The kid is from Florida and is being recruited pretty hard from Miami and FSU. From what i've witnessed so far i wouldn't be surprised if Stoops did somehow reel him in. Can't wait for football season!

4* WR/rb out of Frankfort, Ky Ryan Timmons commits to Cats today.....another big pick up for Stoops and Co.. In just 3 1/2 short weeks Stoops and Neil Brown have done an amazing recruiting job for this 2013 class. Wow just think if he'd had all year....Joker just sucked, he couldn't even reel in Timmons to the Gators. Timmons is an Explosive big fast receiver. Cats are ranked #30 in latest Rivals rankings and we're expecting Stoops to haul in a top 25 class.

Several reports are out that Hatcher (4-star DE from Trinity/KY) has officially decommitted from USC and is committing to Kentucky tomorrow.  Several USC sources are reporting this as well as SVP from ESPN.

All I have to say is that I bet Kiffin's face is really like this right about now:

[The Playmaker]

Remember when USC kept Kiffin because of this recruiting class? lol good times

[UKat]

This will stick us well into the top 25 or better........WoW!!! Stoops gettin it done.

I'd be surprised too, but I'm learning real quick to not count Stoops out in any recruiting battle.  With a big season this year and some national momentum it should be easy for him to capitalize and step up the recruiting game even further.  Joker bombed in that department....absoutely no reason for our recruiting to fall off the way it did after the 2007 season.
