To be fair, it won't last... as their average * rating puts them 11th in the SEC.
More amusing, however, is that #2 is Texas.
With 1 *more* recruit, at 19, thank UK's 18.

Honestly, who cares what the rankings are in June. Rankings don't mean a ton in Feb. All that matters is getting players to fit your system and fill needs. Mo Claiborne was I think a 3* WR, and I think Hester was a 2*.

It is funny seeing Kentucky at #1, but yeah recruiting rankings now are as accurate/relevant as preseason polls. Crunch time is when January hits. That is when shite gets real.

I will admit it is funny to see UK #1, but yea they mean about as much as the MLB standings after opening day.(at this point)

I t does indicate UK & OM, and UT are doing a good job of selling their programs.

Agreed. Rankings in June mean nothing. Still, this is TN's best start in years. I'll take it. Kentucky being relevant in recruiting is shocking.

How is Stoops doing it? One tactic is an ongoing raid on his old stomping grounds of Ohio. Mark, like his brothers Bob (Oklahoma head coach) and Mike (current Oklahoma defensive coordinator, former Arizona head coach), is from Youngstown, and he’s using the familiarity with his home state to clean up. Of the five four-star commitments currently pledged to Big Blue, three are from Ohio (with one from Kentucky and another from Georgia), with four more three-star recruits coming from the Buckeye State. If you want a reason the Big Ten should be nervous, look no further than the SEC's worst program stealing four-star recruits from its backyard.
It’s an easy pitch for Stoops, with Lexington only 90 minutes from Cincinnati and 5 hours from Cleveland: Come play in the most respected conference in football against the best teams in the sport and do it close enough to home that your families can still make all of your home games. If you’re an Ohio kid without a particular interest in playing in the Big Ten but wary of homesickness, why not consider Lexington?
Mark Stoops and Kentucky (!!!) reach top of recruiting rankings

Rankings in June don't matter. A&M was #1 this time last year but finished #11

June recruiting championships come with July national championships and September Heismans.
