For that coach and that offense I definitely do not understand why. It may be a moot point if they keep playing the way they are and we go in and beat them. Coach may not last the off season...

up until 5 days ago Kentucky didn’t look or seem like an impressive program. Now you’re right, end of the year can look very different. Which is also why I think it’s silly to even worry about this so far. By end of the year this recruitment can look completely different

Do you legitimately not understand why a top football player would want to play for Oklahoma?
Rich history for sure but in the Big 12. Since joining the SEC they are 10-9 in conference and being a KY kid and seeing the program on the rise one has to question why would he not want to be a part of that to go to a program that really doesn’t have the clout it once did and is likely no better than UK at the moment.

Venables feels like the only coach that has had Stein’s number in recruiting so far. Hopefully they crash and burn this season so these guys start reconsidering. Handing them an L in a few weeks would help with that.

The program has “been on the rise” for 4 days. I’m thrilled we beat Texas A&M but it was one game. Hopefully it can lead to us actually being on the rise.

I think Venables could be considered on the hot seat. They expect and demand to win at Oklahoma. Stein needs to keep the best players in Kentucky home and if we lose these too it won't be for a lack of effort.

personally thought we were on the rise with Stein himself. What he did on the recruiting trail in a short time while he was still coaching in the playoffs with Oregon was pretty incredible. And the players rave about playing for him and his passion. I think we are already on the rise for future seasons to come!

I just looked at OK's schedule. They could loose their next 3 games. I don't see them beating UGA or TX and they could loose to UK. Looking at the rest of their schedule, I could see them loosing 3 or more after the UK game. That could be 7 or more losses for OK.

There is still time, Kellan** is a 2028 recruit. I believe he and Driver both end up at UK though.
If they commit now they can start receiving money from the school. Now if he decides to go somewhere else, he is responsible for the money received. Kid here in Memphis was being paid all through his senior year by Miss. St. Vandy came in and offered him more and paid State their money back, sucks for State, but like Coach Stein said, you stay on them until they are on campus!

They signed a contract with him, but told him he'd get the money later. They smiled gleefully when he shook theirs hands said "I, OU".

Yeah, they’ll more than likely be 2-3 when we play them, don’t know if that’s good or bad but they’ll definitely be beaten up when we go to Norman.

I’ll never understand how many will question how anyone could live in City X. In this thread it’s Norman, OK, a good college town 25 miles from Oklahoma City. Oklahoma has a venerable history in football going back to Bud Wilkinson in the fifties. There is old oil money in that area and even the relatively small city of OKC has an NBA franchise, something not present in Kentucky. I’ve been in every state except North Dakota and have found beauty and great people in every one of them. I could live in every state, at least part of the year. Weather needs to be warm in winter. I was born and raised in Ky and never lived anywhere else because I love it but I truly believe I could find happiness just about anywhere. These kids with their NIL aren’t living in a dorm or a crappy apartment. There was an article a couple of weeks ago about these kids buying million dollar homes in their college towns
