PHS--
I admire your loyalty--so please don't get the idea that I am trying to trash your opinion.
But--how would you justify the fact that these coaches are "working their butts off" on the recruiting trail? Seriously--they have one high profile recruit who could play where ever he wanted--that is Johnson. The rest are "wait-list" or second tier prospects. The kids who usually commit early have usually decided a long time ago (with out a lot of interaction from the coaching staff) that they are going to go to a certain school. And they do that simply to ensure that they will get one of the scholarships. If they were 4 or 5 star players--they would/could commit to somewhere a lot better than Kentucky.
I also think that this type of loyalty is the reason why UK will NEVER take football seriously. There are a lot of good people in Kentucky who will support UK through thick and thin--even if they are not doing what is right. Not to say that this is bad, PHS--but, after speaking with some of the UK coaches (every year for the past 11 years)--I have always gotten the feeling that UK fans are being taken advantage of.
For your sake (and people like you) I hope that isn't the truth.
