I agree that Coach Smith is a very "good" ambassador for the program, and that he should be given the benefit of the doubt as far as the current state of Kentucky basketball is concerned, but if it continues, he should no that we as UK fans expect more than just a good season every few years, and the recruiting class coming in is not very good from what I am hearing, so maybe we need to replace the people who do a majority of the recruiting for the program.

good post. the only thing i disagree with is your assesment of the incoming class. right now, via rivals, it is the #11 class in the country. Jodie Meeks and Derrick Jasper will be very good college players. They are big guards that can really d it up and shoot the ball well. Perry Stevenson Is a defensive machine averagin a triple double with boards, points, and BLOCKS! Micheal Porter is a sleeper in this class as he can really see the court well and shut down guys on the defensive side of the ball. Also about Porter he was offered a scholly to play safety by pete carrol at USC. If he can play safety for pete carrol, he can play defense for tubby smith. Also Phil Jones and Tyler Smith are two very talented players who will likely suit up for the cats next year. This is potentially a top 5 class. And a class that, with the current sophomore class could bring kentucky #8 in the coming years.
