Joker's recruits.
- Thread starter gobigblue812_rivals29381
- Start date
It may only be Zach Myers left. And doubtful.
Joker signed 3 classes - looks like he got 5 players that made it or have a chance to make it in the NFL - Williamson, Dupree, D. Miller, Toth and Forrest.
Of Jokers 78 signees, 45 did or will not finish their careers at UK (58%)
2010 - 12/27 finished
2011 - 12/25
2012 - 9/26
:angry::scream: - those are and have been your upper classes for Stoops ladies and gentlemen. And lets not get into the level of talent that actually stayed from Jokers classes.......[sick]

JD Harmon, Blake McClain and Jacob Hyde and Ramsey Meyers committed to Phillips and Stoops offered and signed. Alvonte Bell committed to Phillips but had to go JUCO then signed with UK. Remains to be seen if he contributes. The aforementioned Zack Myers also. Jon Toth is the best of the group.
It looks like there are only 3 players left from Joker's last class in 2012. Toth, Meyers, and Harmon.
Tough to win in the SEC for a team like UK when you only have 3 RS SRs

Some really good Posts in this thread. I understand us ky fans are tired of being the punch line for the sec. In saying that Stoops has already made progress we have won 5 games the last two years after winning 4 combined the 2 years prior. Fans need to start looking at are roster realistically. This was the first year we actually had a 2 deep at several positions. We are not there yet and I do think expecting a bowl game in new 2016 is reasonable but this thing is going to take time and some luck.
Hopefully this thead will remain positive as it is in support of the program and Stoops.
I have been saying this for a while. Did an entire breakdown during the season. I think the fact that Stoops is getting quality guys at every position and is starting to have depth is huge. It is something we have never seen here. Now, there is aways to go, but progress is being made. Stoops now needs to make some adjustments on the coaching end, and we could have some very god teams in the not so distant future. Now, here comes my stalker to call me an idiot.

Also don't forget that Stoop's first class also finished with some Joker recruits also. He didn't have enough time to come in a cut ties with every recruit and fill their spots. He onlynhd 2 months give or take to put the finishing touches on what was a somewhat promising class. It was still an upgrade of years prior.
As much as Joker did a bad job, I am still proud to call every kid who signed with us a CAT!!! No matter their contribution, I will always appreciate the fact they came here and played for us. Once a CAT, always a CAT!!!!!
I heard more talk about Toth's good play than I saw this year. Not sure that "bright spot" and "our O-line" can be used in the same sentence...
I would characterize Toth's play as "adequate". Given the overall poor performance of the OL, he was probably the top performer.
