Could it be because they see our superior recruiting and know that it's only a matter of time until they replace us at the bottom of the cellar?



nah

The funniest part about Kentucky fans and recruiting, Bielema's first class was better than Stoops,' but Stoops' second class was better than Bielema's.

So the recruiting record is 1-1 but Kentucky fans think that's "superior recruiting."

I'm still trying to figure out why Arky fans are so interested in our program.


They (along with a few other SEC fan bases) don't like contracts based on recruiting.

The correct standard is:

"How many Rose Bowls have you lost?"

We'll have a better class this year as well.

Stoops also chose to honor a lot of the commitments that Joker got and that didn't help his first class.

Lol at you for using '13 recruiting class as an example when both coaches were hired in less than a quarter of the recruiting cycle left.

Kentucky made a better hire. Sit down and deal with it. You will when you eventually play Kentucky in 8 years or whenever

Not to mention that Arkansas' current class is ranked 14 spots ahead of Kentucky with an average star rating of 89.56 to 85.90.

But yeah, superior recruiting.

Bert's recruiting classes were ranked 27 ('13) and 29 ('14). Across two classes, Arkansas garnered a composite 2.96 per player average. A total of 7 4* recruits across those two classes.

Kentucky's recruiting classes were ranked 29 ('13) and 17 ('14). Across those two classes, Kentucky garnered a composite 3.19 per player average. A total of 13 4* recruits across those two classes.

Yep, superior recruiting.

I'm familiar with the rankings.

I wouldn't be so quick to say no. We're probably getting another 4* on Friday. We're deep in the mix for the #1 RB in the country, and he's from half an hour south of Lexington. We're on the short list for a ton of 4* players.

It's obvious that hog fans are nervous. I would be too, if I were them.

Stoops is doing a tremendous job, and UK is looking up. Might take another year or so to clean up the Joker mess, but he's doing solid work. Very happy with his job performance so far.

Not to mention all of the facility improvements that are taking place. Recruits are excited about them as well.

Larry Coker signed a bunch of highly rated players while at Miami.

Didn't mean the stars made up for his lack of knowing what do do with them.

I find it to be very telling that almost every poster in this thread is a fan of Pig U.

Bielema goes 3-9 and is the worst coach ever.

Stoops goes 2-10 and is the better coach.

Sound Rant logic on that one.
