I disagree and the reason I say I disagree because we didn't really know who he was going after. He wouldn't put any info out.
No coach puts out that info, nor can they. Social media does, and they did put out a lot of info on who Grant was after as well.

I mean all of the good players we got basically were in state guys
That has nothing to do with him not going after the highly-rated guys. Like I said, his downfall was focusing too much on the big fish that we went hungry at the end of most classes.

Ill say one thing people say he didn't play the game but I know for a fact that he played it to get Trevor Lacey.
I'm not sure what you've been told, but I'm pretty sure Lacey was just pressured into going to Alabama by everyone around him (family, friends, his HS coach, Levi, etc.). I thought that the moment he announced it. That was the most forced smile I've ever seen after a commitment. His eyes looked full of regret.

I know Trevor and his family. He played the game trust me. Maybe he didn't have to because Kentucky really didn't want to touch him due to the issues they were having at the time. I want say much but the reputation that he didn't is BS.

I agree with everything you said but this point. Assistants typically talk with recruiting guys so they'll do updates on certain players to let fans know who they're recruiting as well as to help the coach know where they stand. That wasn't allowed with Grant at the helm. I'm guessing there will be info leaked with Johnson as coach.
