    From the way it's looking Gall is starting to heat up, he's only ranked a low 3 star but I like that kids quickness and agility. Bivin is one of the most sought after O-Lineman the state of KY has ever produced. Riles will be very very hard to get too. If you would have asked me a few months ago about any of the top instate kids I would have told you I know none of the UofL kids were heading to UK but I really thought Timmons and Bivin would be speaking alittle higher of us right now. Then I saw were Petrino showed up at Timmon's HS a year before SD and I knew that would be tough for Joker to bounce back from... With Joker's future up in the air, as bad as I hate to say it this may end up being a very weak class unless we can get a few good ones early on that other kids want to play with. It would also be nice if we could get another Pat Grafree, he won us a few recruiting battles...

    It's going to be tuff to get 14-16 solid ball players since it seems like Joker's job may be in Jepordy. If we could have just beat UofL last year and made a bowl game I really feel like alot of these kids would be a lock or atleast have us higher up on their board... Now other staffs recruiting against us are telling these kids "Joker is done after this year" so the number one thing we need to do is start off with some W's...

    I love BB, but I would give anything if we had FB tradition instead, it seems like we can never catch a break... How after all the good football in 07/08 didn't we recruit any better???

    Hey Todd, just like I said on the other site....insufferable. I also believe I told you Hyde was a lock (to reply to your statement that none of the in-state kids were). Have some patience buddy, it'll all work out in the end, and if it doesn't, at least wait till then to bitch lol. The never ending quest of the LOD to seek out anything to complain about used to baffle me, now its gotten so dependable it's almost comforting to see.

    I guess my question to you DA, is "don't you want big time schools to be after our recruits?" I mean over and over again, I hear the same stuff about only OVC schools were looking at our recruits so I take your negative and make it a positive that hey, FSU wants the same kids that we want.

    If anything, IMO, UK has made a mistake in the recent past by accepting too many early commits from low rated kids. Maybe we will lose out in the end to the bigger powers, but I guess we will never know until we try. And if we keep settling on low rated kids, we get our ass kicked anyway. So I say go after the best kids that are at least interested in talkin to you and see how it goes.

    #1, where'd you hear that Joker was on the hotseat? 1st i've heard of it other than on a few of these type posts by some random fans, but, certainly not from anyone who actually matters... #2, how in the hell do you know if it's going to be a good or bad class, before we ever sign the 1st guy and #3, us losing to UL last year wouldn't make one bit of difference to 99% of the kids Joker's recruiting. The kids from Trinity weren't going to UK regardless..

    Calm down, I didn't make this up and I don't care what you think. There are a article on ESPN that has him as number 3 on the hot seat... And trust me other coaches that are recruiting against UK are already telling recruits about him being "gone after this year" even if it's not true. I like Joker I want him to win I'm just stating the obvious... Everyone that really knows what's going on knows that the UofL, WKU, Vandy and TN game will all be part of Joker's litmus test... Don't jump on me, hundreds of sports personalities have already stated this I didn't just conjure this idea up.

    All i'm doing is stating facts and saying how much I like certain prospects, you need to watch your mouth.
