Stoops knows what he has to do and he is well on his way of upgrading our talent level. He just needs a little more time.

When Mark Stoops was asked about his recruiting classes at Kentucky and the team turnover, he didn’t mince words on the SEC teleconference Wednesday.

“We feel very good about the direction of our team and where we’re headed. There has been a lot of turnover. I think some of that, like you said, is commonplace when there’s staff turnover. Some of it just quite frankly needed to happen,” said Stoops.

“We expected to compete in this great conference, and we needed to get SEC caliber players in here. Sometimes that’s a hard truth, but it’s the truth.

“Our staff has worked extremely hard to recruit great players. We believe we have some very talented young players that need to grow up in a hurry. It’s awfully difficult to expect those guys to come in and win some of these tough games, but hey, we’re not alone.

“There’s a lot of people that have a lot of issues, and Florida has to play some young players too, and it’s across this league. So it is what it is. We feel good about the direction of the program. We know we’re a work in progress, but we know we’re headed in the right direction.”
