I'm very happy that Stoops is not backing down from anyone!!!!! If it was Joker trying to land a recruit like this he would be coward in a corner apologizing to Kiffin for trying to flip his recruit.

Joker and his staff were terrible recruiters. I've said this before but its a great illustration about how they operated. I coached at a school in Florida that had 6 D1 kids on it and when UK visited our HC told the guy I was from Lexington and I never so much as got a hi. To me if you find out there is a hometown kid that could push kids to you that's a guy you want to buddy up to. DJ on the other hand was one of the nicest, friendliest guys I've ever met and he made you feel that you were an important process of recruiting and was friends with our entire staff. That's what it takes to be successful at the level UK should be at. You have to have coaches that want to send kids to your school, not wish you wouldn't waste room on the practice field by just standing there for an hour and not talking to anyone. With Eliot and Stoops UK will begin the slow climb up the SEC ranks. Add in better facilities that are planned they may in a few years be able to compete with UF, Bama, and SC. I can't say enough good things about what is going on up there.
