The House of Blue

Me to recruiting all these players that wanted to come to UK to Florida but choose not to at UK...

As we saw UF vs UL, anything that guy touches turns to crap....

Joker didn't coach before or during that game. He was recruiting only until after the Sugar Bowl.

As for the original issue of recruiting Ryan Timmons, which I guess is what the OP was referring to, what exactly did you expect? He recruited the kid at Kentucky. The kid liked Joker and respected him a lot but didn't seem real convinced the program was going the right way or was the right fit for his talents. Why wouldn't Joker tap into his home state roots and recruit the kid now that he's at a high profile school? If he liked him for UK and Florida's WRs aren't very good (which they're not and haven't been for awhile) why wouldn't he use those contacts to see if the kid would consider Florida, especially if he knows the kid liked him? That's what recruiting is.

I think he was talking about Woulard.

Either way, why wouldn't he recruit a player like that? A 4-star player from the state of Florida who is considered one of the better players nationally at his position? Of course, he's going to recruit him.

I was referring to him. Just wonder why Joker didn't try to recruit him for UK?

Whitlow?

Damn I get a down vote for pointing out that he Joker does recruit dual threat QB's?

Whitlow was recruited by the staff with every intention of moving him later. The list is long with players that were QB's in HS and were moved when they got here or shortly after they got here. Most recently Bubba Tandy. Bookie Cobbins, Tyler Brause, Dakotah Tyler, Brian Adams, LaRod King, Matt Roark, Deaunte Mason, Randall Cobb, EJ Fields, Gene McCaskill.

He was recruited to eventually move to wr but the former staff let him have his shot at qb and did well enough to stay there for this season cause Sanders, while people hated his play calling(I did also), wanted him to rs and they thought Newton would of been in better health to hold down the back up position. Smith gets hurt during Western Kentucky, Newton flops at Florida, Smith gets seriously hurt against USC lite, Whitlow gets the nod and we burn Towles rs cause of his dad saying something to Vaught(Towles gets a bad rap for nothing he did or said). This is something we won't have to worry about with the new staff,

On the topic on hand, Phillips is doing his job at Florida and it's a easier sell at Florida than it is at Kentucky. Joker really wasn't cut out to be a head coach here, in all honesty, we should have never did the whole HCIW thing.

If I remember correctly, and I think I do, he's getting paid to recruit. Nothing wrong with it.
