May 2, 201412 yr Let's restrict this conversation to the current regime. Obviously the past regime made mistakes. I agree. The old regime was taking the program down fast. Sort of like BCG was doing with the basketball program. Joker Phillips should of never been named HC. His negative impact on the football program was disastrous.
May 4, 201412 yr 2015 WR Alex Stump has committed to UK. YAHTZEE! Kentucky Football receives commitment from 2015 wide receiver | Nation of Blue Alex Stump - Yahoo! Sports
May 4, 201412 yr Who is UK recruiting in NKY? Jensen Feggins from Highlands is getting some attention from Kentucky. I don't know how serious either side is on that interest.
May 4, 201412 yr I agree. The old regime was taking the program down fast. Sort of like BCG was doing with the basketball program. Joker Phillips should of never been named HC. His negative impact on the football program was disastrous. I got killed on here for saying this before he was even hired. I said UK was making a mistake for just giving him the job, because they were in a good spot as a program that if they hired the right coach they may have been able to take another step forward.
May 5, 201412 yr Conrad will choose UK Friday. Was wanting the OSU offer but didn't get,, due to onfield concerns. No idea what those concerns are though.

I said UK was making a mistake for just giving him the job, because they were in a good spot as a program that if they hired the right coach they may have been able to take another step forward. I wasn't a fan of the hire either, but wasn't Brooks' age becoming an issue on the recruiting trail, and to offset that problem, a decision made to name Joker as the HCIW? The hire of Joker obviously did not work out, but at the time Joker had a pretty good record as a recruiter (although Stoops is blowing his doors off) and as an OC/asst coach. Hope Stoops proves me wrong, but learning how to become a HC in the SEC (particularly doing so at UK) is no easy feat.
May 6, 201412 yr Author UK will have a battle for Darius Fullwood from DC. Has offers from Ohio State, MichSt, and Tennessee but he loves one of the UK assistants. Teammate of 2014 UK commit Kobie Walker. 2015 defensive end really likes Coach Mainord and Kentucky | Kentucky Sports Radio UK is in Fullwood's final 5 along with the Buckeyes, Canes, Hokies, and Ramblin' Wreck(I think). Buckeyes are going to be tough to beat for the kid.
May 8, 201412 yr Author Nice get today. LB Jordan Jones from Youngstown committed. Conrad will be a nice add on Friday.
May 9, 201412 yr Author I think another is coming soon. CJ Conrad commits to UK. 4* TE. #6 TE in his class.
May 13, 201412 yr Stoops stopped in to check in on #1 DE CeCe Jefferson yesterday. Never thought I'd see the day that UK was actually mixing it up with the big boys in football. Could you imagine what landing a kid like that along with Damien Harris could do for a program? Not expecting it to happen, but at least they have a dog in the fight. Better than the days of recruiting against Conference USA and MAC schools.

Better than the days of recruiting against Conference USA and MAC schools. It's very cool to see Coach Stoops and his staff recruiting the best. They have the attitude that they can get anybody and that's the way it should be for UK. I honestly think previous staffs didn't recruit the best, because they thought they didn't have a chance and were wasting their time, thus settling for mediocrity. The new regime and new mindset is so refreshing. #WHYNOT
