Kentucky football officially hires Mark Stoops

launchpad4 Wrote:I completely agree!!! I coached a school in Florida last year that had 5 D-1 kids on it. The #1 Kicker last year and #2 safety this year. Our HC told the UK coach we had a coach from Lexington on staff, dude didn't even so much as say hello to me or any of the players that are now playing in BCS conferences that were on that team. One would think you'd try and get to know the guy from your state and get him to try and persuade kids to go to your school. It never happened, at that point I knew UK was in trouble. We had a kid that was getting hard looks from ND and OSU and he told be he'd love to play for UK. Straight up plain and simple he liked that it was a little closer to home and he thought he could play right away. UK lost out on a kid that dominated the NIKE circuit and was a great player at 4 different positions for us through the year. They have to address their inability to recruit kids from Florida and to keep the top talent from Kentucky. From what I've seen Joker did neither. They aren't on the list for any top kids from Trinity and I believe the kid from Franklin County said no. You can't win without doing decent in Florida and dominating Kentucky. They need to have a staff that locks down from Pikeville to Paducah and any good player never leaves Lexington and then be able to get 10-15 kids from Florida, Georgia, South Carolina every year.

I agree 100% we have to get evey Kid from the state,a couple from Ohio Indiana,West Virginia and the rest from traditional S E C recruiting grounds.But its real important we get every kid from the state that can play S E C football.
