I'm going to start a new editorial feature that will run sometimes daily (always more than weekly) where I give my take on a topic or multiple topics that are pressing in the world of Kentucky sports. Hopefully it will generate some discussion. You won't always agree, but then again, that's great.

Here's the first edition.

Recently an increasing number of people have floated the theory that Kentucky's recruiting has been overrated in the Stoops era. I couldn't disagree more. I spell out my reasons here, and I also lay out six things that I believe account for the disconnect, thus far, between the highest-ranked classes in the program's modern history and the inability to field a winning product.

Great rundown, thanks. Very bleak at the moment but definitely a chance to rebound, we need this game right now.
