Kentucky Transfers
- Thread starter fcats
- Start date
That's a fairly normally turnover. It was hinted that some of these guys (not all) did not really meet up to expectations.
Every class has their overachievers and underachievers, and gets churned.

Krok is at a MAC school, can't recall which one. When classes resume at various places in mid-Jan we'll probably hear where the others landed.

Snodgrass to IU; Hytche to a small school in Georgia, I believe; Hendrix to Charlotte. I believe Richardson gave up football.
Op has a legit point though. Regardless of how you wxplain it, the strength of class is apparently less than advertised.
Hendrix went to Bowling Green, not Charlotte. Hytchye is at Georgia State. Never saw anything about Snodgrass to IU. Where was that reported?
LOL! They haven't changed my opinion of Stoops' recruiting at all. Stoops is the best recruiter at Kentucky in a long time. Tubman is gone because of an off field matter, and all the other names you mentioned had fallen way down Kentucky's depth chart. That's competition. I don't know how long you have been a serious follower of college football, but players transfer out of all programs every year. So let's not try to make something out of it that isn't true. The transfers who have my attention now are Courtney Love, Greg Hart, De'Niro Laster, Tate Leavitt, Jordan Bonner, and Kayaune Ross.
Not to me he isn't ...as with everything the proof is always in the pudding...let's see some results if you are right
I believe Hytchye was in Stoops first class not the 2014 class. But yea it really sucks losing Krok and Richardson. We really need OT's and these two had a lot of potential.
Do you honestly believe Stoops isn't actually the best recruiter at Kentucky in a long time? LOL! Then please tell us who has been a better recruiter at Kentucky than Stoops. It takes 5 years to prove the true value of a recruiting class. But Stoops has only been Kentucky's coach for 3 seasons. You are 1 of many fans who were disappointed in Kentucky's 2015 season. So was I. But let's not confuse different topics. When we opened against Louisiana Lafayette, 9 of our starters in that game had been signed by Joker, and 2 other starters were recruited by Joker before hanging around to sign with Stoops. So, half of our starting team this year was recruited by Joker, not Stoops. While none of us is happy with the season, we must wait a couple more years before assessing Stoops as a recruiter. In the meantime, the impressions that Rivals and ESPN experts have of Stoops as a recruiter are easier for me to accept than those of angry, disappointed fans, who may not understand that almost all of Stoops' signees were still freshmen and sophomores this year.
Agree with Blue Decade - even the likes of Nick Saban will miss on a few recruits who underperform/underdevelop, who then move on to other programs. That doesn't make Saban a bad recruiter.
To me, the jury is still out on Stoops and staff developing players. There is no doubt that ON PAPER that the overall quality of players coming in is higher than it's probably since at least the Curci. Having said that, this hasn't translated to the results that matter most in the wins and losses.
Would Krok or Richardson ever see the field at UK? Did they leave for reasons other than competition?
