The House of Blue

I think there's a pretty good chance they may be at junior day but as has been said previously, it would be a major coup for UK to land them IMO.

I agree they really are that good. Joker and Co done great at getting most the top instate talent this year and singed the best qb that's came out of KY in 4 or 5 years. Bolin is not as good as Towles I don't know where 247 is getting that??? Anyways, Joker and Co have to find ways to get some of these big name 4 star players. I got an idea... Someone start a "keep KY kids at home fund" and I'll give it to em, I don't care... JK... We all know BAMA is playing some of their kids.

Need to catch lightening in a bottle early in the season with wins and obvious major improvement, then convince those kids to be the core of a SuperKY class. That would be the only way to swing the needle on Trinity to me. Really, the first two or three games are critical to this class IMO.

Hey alphacat 93...Iv'e seen that mentioned many times before, that Quick won't consider UK. Other than the obvious reason that all the major programs are going to be hot after him, what is/are the other reason(s) that seem to be roadblocking his interest?

His daddy played football for UL. Typically the sons of UL alums would rather die than wear blue.

You are so right but it's like Joker doesn't have the backing to campaingn in the media and HS's like other SEC schools do... I also 100% agree that Joker needs to put "T" on 5-10 Top in-state recruits, maybe send the usual guy one week then T the next... No doubt we need T going after all the priority players... I know I may sound dumb but does it not seem like Joker is ballin on a budget??? It really does. No SEC coach should be slighted in recruiting funds. Think about this for a moment, Petrino has already been to see Timmons and his coach, when is the last time we were in Ark to check out a high 3/4 star recruit in late Jan, early Feb a year ahead of time?

I know it can't be because Joker doesn't "feel like it", it has to be the obvious. I know Joker has a smart and savy approach to recruiting. This 12 class is good but IMO alot of that is due to the fact that we got to sign 26 good looking kids. In 13 we probably won't be able to sign that many so the 18-22 probable SS needs to go on quality talent. I hate to throw star rankings out there but we really need a class full of solid 3's and bring in some 4's (2 or 3 instate 4 stars would be nice)... In other words this class needs 4 or so lineman with Watson type ability, 5 or so D-lineman that are all legit SEC ball players, 3 or so "Sweat" type WR's... You get the picture. All i'm saying is this 13 class will probably not have quantity so quality is of the upmost importance. Hopefully we see more 4 stars than usual too. Nobody knows how good a kid can be all the star system tells you is this guy has a better or less chance due to size and athleticism. In 13 we need a few more of those guys than usual. Great prospects want to play with other great prospects...

I disagree. It is a LONG way from those "urban areas" to Lexington. The prospect is geographically closer to all of the NC, SC, VA, and marylandy schools.

With Georgia and Ohio and Tennessee, the prospect is only driving past 1 or 2 division one schools to get to UK.

They recruit Lex... Why shouldn't we recruit VA???

I disagree. There is an enormous SEC fanbase in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and a lot of SEC level talent here too. That is why there is always a local station that has SEC games on TV all day on Saturday, both football and basketball, and has for as long as I've lived here (10 years).
