“I told them, ‘You lost to the University of Kentucky. You lose to UK, you lose to everybody because UK finishes last in the SEC every year,” Hatcher told ESPN RecruitingNation.

You can't fault the kid for saying that. Truthful honest answer, but also a likely statement to get them off his back because he wasn't interested. As well, UK didn't have the coaching staff nor the excitement surrounding football like now. I'm sure kids weren't getting their names chanted in Rupp, heck most people didn't know or care when they were on campus. Want to know why?? That flippant attitude started at the top & trickled down. As Joker told Woulard's dad, he wouldn't recruit him because he was committed to USF & he had friends on that staff. Yeah that'll win ball games, playing nice. Stoops don't care, he just offered a lineman today that his brother was after. I'm sure Hatcher would retract that comment with the opportunity to come be a hero, where people are excited about football, for coaches that have molded defensive ends into Top 5 NFL draft picks.
