We are headlining CBS Sports.....
Make room for Kentucky
The top 25 recruiting rankings are laced with traditional power programs and ascending teams coming off good seasons.
And Kentucky.
Yes, one thing is not like the other 24.
Kentucky is coming off back-to-back 2-10 seasons and hadn't finished better than 12th in SEC recruiting since 2006. When you think of elite Kentucky recruiting, you probably think of Tim Couch and … Tim Couch.
But coach Mark Stoops got after it this week with the 22nd-ranked class overall, good enough for 10th in the SEC -- easily the program's best class since internet rankings existed, according to spokesman Tony Neely. Stoops did just enough to improve Kentucky without engendering arbitrary rule-breaking skepticism with a litany of top-10 players.
Bookended with quarterback Drew Barker and defensive tackle Matt Elam committing eight months apart, Kentucky did just enough to upgrade the product without engendering arbitrary rule-breaking skepticism with a litany of top-10 players late in the process.
Eve Nick Saban, the recruiting king for a fourth straight year, was the runner-up for Elam, a 6-foot-5, 372-pound behemoth.

Lot of LSU butthurt up in here. I gave you a great compliment but y'all can't handle the thought of taking a backseat to the Gumps?
I have one question for you...
has Saban gotten in your head that much?
Cause it damn sure seems like he built a beach resort in it.
Oh yeah one more thing.
27-24
88-74
Calling it now.
Cats - 35
Leghumpers - 17

STTDB. Haven't had on the field success in quite a few years? Back to back 10 win seasons and a National Championship appearance in 2011... Bama might be better over the last couple years but Saban won't be there forever and there are a very small number of teams on our level. Ole Miss is not included.

State is pitiful, Tony Stark put together a better class in a cave with a BOX OF SCRAPS.

Tigers won 10 games in '10 also.

LSU always has a top recruiting class. This is nothing new, though this one may turn out to be pretty special

28-21...that's a fact. A&M can keep having top 10 recruiting classes, I'll take top 10 teams.

I really hope you're just an MSU fan trolling to make us look bad because I can't stand the thought of you being in the same fanbase as me.

Best class relative to the state of the program? Florida or Tennessee.
Nice troll, btw. 1.5/10
