Looks like the recruits for 2012 can see the writing on the wall. Shadrack Thornton, a 3 star recruit has changed his mind and has decomitted and will be going to NC St. There may be more after the next two games. We just don't have the kids to win in the SEC and Joker will never get them. Just proves the old addage that nice guys do finish last. Georgia is killing Auburn 38-7 in the 3rd quarter. I think I'll just check the scores next Sunday in the paper instead of watching the game. I can't stand to watch it.

I'm not surprised that some recruits would bail out. Who wants to play for a loser?
The game today at Vandy was just an embarrassment, and that last run where STacy hauled 7-8 Wildcats on his back for about 7 yards to score put the icing on the cake.

JOKER MUST GO.

It will only get worse. I don't see the AD making a change, until after year three.

Bama, other than Thornton who else is baling out? One 3 star is leaving that is not that uncommon and we have one 4 star and 11 other 3 stars staying. This is still probably one of the better classes we have had in many years.

I agree but you said 3 stars. Just how good is all these 3 stars going to be in the SEC? If most of them are sleeper 4 and 5 star players we are good. but if they are 3 star or end up less we are still going down hill. He's recruiting like Billy G. Dakota Euton couldn't make it at Akron and is switching to a jr college or some Div III school. I wish we had a coach who could swing 4 and 5 star players this way.

I don't believe UK has ever hardly landed any 4 and 5 star football players. UK is relegated to getting the 3 star types and hoping they can improve. How many 5 star recruits has UK had in the last 20 years? Tim Couch and an overrated Dennis Johnson? That may be it.

Heck - how many 3 stars do we get a year?

Joker had a presser today to lament the fact that he had no speed on his team to make big plays. What the hell? All he was preaching before the season was how improved they were in team speed and conditioning.

Vandys coach has really turned them around in a short time. Now we are looking up to them...

I bet the easily beat UT next week..Hopefully we can as well...

They might have looked fast pre-season. But compared to what? We look slow motion compared to most of the teams we play. [Frown]
