re: Could Kentucky be a dark horse contender in 2 - 3 years under Stoops?

I just don't see it happening. The state of Kentucky just doesn't produce the talent that Texas, LA, Alabama, Florida, and Georgia do and they don't have the history and tradition to recruit as well out of state as the others like the basketball team does. Coaching may go a long way, but, generally, whoever puts the best athletes on the field wins.
