Maybe Stein will get a cigarette lighter for his efforts.

Stein is doing great stuff. This team is gonna be fun.

I’d rather be doing well now than doing poorly. It doesn’t mean we will have a great class. It means that we could be. Our definition of a great class isn’t the same as UGAs.
It is refreshing to see how aggressive this staff is with recruiting. Pope could learn from this.

Poor effort. That was proven false. The bear was just joking around when he said that.

Enjoy it now. I’m pretty sure OU has started #1 almost every year in recruiting and end up 15th.

That was our best year. Pretty sure we were #1 in July or some shite and fell to around 15th.

Stein is absolutely killing it so far. Batting 1.000 with the fanbase, that's for damn sure. Can't fricking wait for Kentucky football to start this season.

Doing well so far, but it's early. Even our 3 stars are highly regarded and could be upgraded.

Hope so, watching our offense the last couple of seasons was painful. Would like to see a more aggressive defense as well.
We need some WR's and don't see any coming in but it's still early.

UK will not finish anywhere near T5 if you look at average and points. It is early ... also, portal may be more important when rebuilding

Maybe everyone should just throw in the towel right now and get it over with?

Too bad they hired an absolute fraud at OC to waste all that talent.

A lot of criticism from LSU fans and hoping the issue was BK.
Liam Cohen had two stints under Stoops as OC and was pretty meh.
Now he’s head coach in Jacksonville and has the Jags humming. Was he a good OC but just had his hands tied or is he a better HC than OC? Probably a bit of both.
Have a feeling Stein will be heavily involved with game planning and play calling.

He was a good OC going up against superior talent. We won ten games his first time around.

We went from having the best offense in the nation with Denbrock, to one of the worst the next year, with some of the worst play calling I can remember seeing. That guy had no business being an OC.

My understanding is that he is a good recruiter. I imagine Stein will be heavily involved in the offense. But the question is did BK meddle with play calls like Stoops did his OCs at UK?
Time will tell.

No doubt, I did a poor job making my point.
Cohen’s first stint in ’21 Robinson stretched the field (up to that point one of my biggest gripes with Stoops’ offenses) which helped C Rod average over 6 yards/carry. That was a fun to watch, well-balanced offense.
But it was like those lessons were lost on Stoops when Cohen came back in ’23. That squad had some really good receivers that were underutilized and why I was questioning who to blame when an offense under performs.

Part of 2023 was Devin Leary didn’t look comfortable in the offense until the Louisville game. Plus we lost the offensive line excellence that Jon Schlarman achieved.

Yep, Leary spent a lot of time on his back that season. No doubt we were missing Schlarman's outstanding coaching but I felt our predictability was the real culprit.
My biggest gripe with our offense that season, and a theme throughout Stoops' tenure, was after establishing a running game we'd fail to utilize play action. Especially when we'd throw on first down which led me to believe Stoops was calling plays.

Legitimate gripe as was going away from things that worked, lack of use of the tight ends and not getting under center at the goal line.
