The House of Blue

LoL...my stalker at it again. Card fan.

I think we end up between 17-25 in the final rankings. Everyone else above us is not just going to roll over for UK. If the Cats can consistently land top 20 classes, we will be able to compete with anyone on a year in, year out basis.

Depends on how they rank the classes. Often the amount of players is included in the ranking rather than just the quality. With only 13-15 seniors leaving we would be lucky to sign 20 after attrition. This may skew the rankings away from our favor.

I wouldn't be surprised to see our avg star or player rating to land in the middle of the SEC.

Just my thoughts on this, but during the first couple of years(and not counting this past recruiting period) I believe Coach Stoops is going to be able to sell almost immediate playing time for new players coming in. After that he is going to have to sell the idea of redshirting to build some quality depth. Hopefully, by that time(Years 4 & 5) we will have started beating some of these SEC teams on a regular basis and recruiting 4 & 5 star players to Kentucky will become a regular occurrence and we might even actually go to a bowl that is played outside of Nashville, Memphis, or Birmingham, AL for a change.
At least that dream is hopefully closer to reality than it has been the last 3 years.

Thanks bro..dv's are red with a -1 beside them. I have at least 1 stalker that gives me all 4 of his allotted dv's each day..killing my rating..but I dont care..I didnt pay to play here for a rating..they cant stop me from posting my ideas or opinions..however optimistic or crazy they may sound to others! I have a right to be optimistic, Stoops has more buzz surrounding UK football than a hive of angry sand hornets!!

Isn't Barker becoming good friends with Kief and another top prospect at WR? I wish he would pop for UK soon and get the dominoes to fall.

Nice list, I would definitely want to see Fant, Elam and Barker to end up at UK more than anyone on the list, but that is because they are Ky kids who are D1 talents that can play, Fant will end up being all state for 3 straight years after this fall.

I am a little surprised UK never seems to recruit Virginia considering that state produces a good amount of talent and is fairly close and same goes for North Carolina.

In the composite rankings which is what really matter I think we'll be top 25 for sure. Maybe top 20. But on a particular site like 24/7 since they have Ware ranked so high or on Rivals depending on who we get we could crack the top 15.

What are you even talking about. Who cares about UGA? We were 2-10 last year. We just signed the greatest class maybe ever in our history at least in the modern era coming off a 2-10 year. We could possibly break into the top 20 and beyond this year. And you wanna talk about other teams disappointments from signing top classes and the fact that it will take 4 years and beyond to see results. I think we should just be excited as hell to be doing what we're doing and we as fans should be giving our coaches a ton of credit. What they've done so far has been amazing. This staff is getting some of the big boys and they haven't even coached a game. I think its pretty clear something special is going on here. Will we win the SEC title or win 10 game who knows but its damn sure enough so far to be excited about the possibilities of those things happening.

Good point about Virginia. Lots of elite talent. And also look out for Darrius Spivey-Nunn a ultra athletic 6'1 175lb cb from Paducah Tilghman. And his teammate Derik Overstreet a 6'4 235lb DE/LB...Tilghman continues to produce D1 talent. Big Pro-UK fan base there in Paducah. JD Harmon walked on..and any doubts that kids not an SEC talent should be gone by now. I also look for Josh Forrest..another Tilgh alum..to step up at LB..6'3 235 with good speed and a nose for the ball.
