That is the way recruiting goes. I am not sure we are in any trouble and I am remaining positive we will get at least one of them. But to your point it is recruiting so there is always the possibility you mentioned.
Sebastien Dolcine commits to Kentucky!
- Thread starter TuckyFB
- Start date
I bet he winds up being elevated to 3 * status before the final ranking is complete.
I shouldn't have used the word trouble. Sorry. I meant if he misses on both then he has to hope that Dolcine will wait until late in the process to flip. Sometimes that turns kids off. It also opens the door for other schools to make a push for him.
Tskware, I looked back at the total numbers since Stoops has been here.
Rivals lists (counting the 17 commits of Feb. 2017 class) 115 total commits from Feb. '13 thru Feb. '17, with 15 being two stars, a rate of just 13% of Stoops' total commitments.
And if one, or more, of the currently committed 2 stars (there are now 3 of them) gets assigned a third star, our '17 class will average less than or about where the prior four have averaged . . . . 10% to 15% 2 star kids.
And I just noticed, two of our 2 stars for '17 are o-linemen, a position notorious for under-ranking.
The numbers suggest that a 2 star recruit at Kentucky under Stoops is what your post suggests they should be . . . . . exceptions, rather than the rule of recruiting.

Scholarship offers from FSU, Miami, and Florida in 3. . . . .2. . . .1. . . .
It seems like Stoops and Company dig beyond the "Top Whatever" list and find these hidden studs, especially on the offensive line. After we find them, the Florida schools (among others) try to swoop in for the easy meal. Hang on to this kid, Stoops, hang on!
That is good info, thanks. I am not criticizing Stoops recruiting, clearly we have lifted our gun sights in the last few years. Just tired of posters pulling Wes Woodyard out of their backside like that is the rule instead of the rare exception.
It sure as hell wasn't their fault they didn't have a winning SEC record, I blame the support football got.then.
Correct, and Tre was "only" a 5.3 two star------that Brooks stated was really a four star-------as soon as he had signed his papers.
OLinemen have to be hard to rate. Footspeed, height, weight are easier to gauge, but many have not had great technique coaching or had division one training facilities and some are still growing into their frames. I am least inclined to judge a 2 star Olineman than any other position, other than kickers.
From his hudl tape he looks like another Bunchy Stallings to me, would take all those we can find!
Good point. Olinemen can be developed, it may take several years. The best O lines usually have some 4th-year juniors and 5th-year seniors with some underclassmen sprinkled in.
LOL! Wills is committed to Alabama, so it's safe to say Stoops doesn't feel good about him. Munford will probably get a scholarship from Ohio State, which just lost a higher rated offensive tackle to Tennessee. If Urban Meyer offers Munford, he is a Buckeye. Otherwise he probably picks between us and Pitt. There is still room in our class for Munford if he picks us.
Not Justin, but Dolcine profiles as a right guard or a right tackle. He has long enough arms to get a shot as a tackle.
Good job!!! Yeah!!! Glad we have guys like u on this board!!! U need a rivals paycheck!
Means nothing. Munford will probably decide late. If Munford receives an offer from Ohio State, he is a Buckeye. Otherwise we will have room for him if he wants to play for us.
