What you have below is the 6 recruiting classes that I would say are under consideration for the 2nd best class in UK history of the modern era (1985 and beyond). Keep in mind that guys who redshirted their first years still count on the class they came in with, such as Pelphrey and Feldhaus, who came in a year earlier than Woods and Farmer. If I had to rank them, I would say that 1994 was the best class, as all 4 guys had vital roles in one or two national championship teams at Kentucky. I would rank the the other 5 classes from 1995, 1992, 1990, 2004, and 1987.
