While fans of teams like Bama/OSU/Fla/ Texas etc, usually have banner recruiting years, this puts what this season means to UK football fans in perspective.
These are UK's recruiting ranks since 2002:

One year we had # 36 and one year # 41 and everything else 50 or higher.
Now mind you, UK went to 4 straight Bowls during those years. The difference is we just couldnt hold our own against SEC teams.
If we could go 4-0 against Non conference which we did several times and win against a Vandy/Miss State type in SEC, that got us to 6 wins.
I think classes like this will help us start closing the gap on the rest of these SEC teams.
Coach Stoops did this coming off a 2 win season. Let's win 6 in 2013 and see what he can do...
BTW...yes I know 6 can would be quite an accomplishment but dont doubt the Stoop's Troops !
