The the most impressive thing abt UK football recruiting is our ability to identify talent early/be one of the 1st to give an athlete attention. W/ another great record this yr, that ability will lead to a bigger payoff. We will beat 1 of the top dogs for a 4/5 star recruit.

I was so wrong on Coach Stoops when he was hired and I've stated my apologies many times. This is the kind of leader of young men we need and this isn't the reason why for the statement. This just puts the cherry on top of everything he's built here at UK. RESPECT!!
