The House of Blue

Nice! Can't wait to see Jason in Blue!

Eliot on Hatcher:

"When I got hired, as the first assistant hired, my first two stops were Ryan Timmons and Jason Hatcher. We started building that relationship with Jason from Day One and within this month span we were able to get him flipped from USC and sign with us."

"What I've found with recruiting Jason Hatcher, he wanted to go to Kentucky. He wanted to believe in the program. When we were able to convince him of what we're going to do he was able to jump on board with us."

this is what it takes, folks...and God help Strong and Hurtt and UL trying to recruit against Stoops & Co. in the years to come.

I think it all starts with a staff that actually believes in what they're selling. Listening to some of these guys on the live feed today gave me goosebumps...they don't have the car salesman mentality that I've heard and seen for years and years. This staff not only believes in what can and will happen here, they can make recruits realize that they can get it done.

Still some recruiting left to do but I expect them to bring in a couple of more guys who will buy into what the reality that will soon be a true SEC caliber football program. Unreal when you think about what they did in such a short period of time. It makes me chomp at the bit when I think about next years class. This staff gets it and can do it, they will target the best and will not take no for an answer. Goosebumps.
