And where would have Vee Sanford fit in? He'd be a bench guy with the recruits we have here and who are coming. Why have him sit the UK bench? As for Lofton, Bradley came is as a higher recruit and Chris. Their careers didn't pan out that way, but you can't base a question like this on what local kids you would like to stay here when you add into the equation of what you can get outside of the state. Chris's stock dropped significantly when he got sick his Sr. year. It's easy to say UK or UofL should have kept him, but the prognosis was not good that he would pan out into a D1 player. So, do you keep him just because he is from the state of KY?

Just to be honest, I'd rather see a Kentucky kid stay at home if he truely wants to than bring in an outside higher recruit. I know you can't let every kid from Kentucky who wants to stay here, player here. Like Vee Sanford for instance, good player, top tier D1 quality but I wouldn't take him over Wall, Bledsoe, or Hood. I'd probably taken him over Dobson, but that's just my personal opinion. I'm just saying outside talent can come here and flop just as easy as inside state talent. I just think you take a chance on instate kids. We may have never had a shot at Mack or Hopson, they may have committed early but they can always decommit. You have got to make the instate kids feel a bit more wanted. I love how this years recruiting class has represented UK but a team like the Unforgettables just defines Bluegrass pride. Even as a UK fan, it feels good to see the likes of Preston Knowles take the floor for UofL.
