DeVon Hamilton, DT, decommits from UK and commits to the Butguys, I mean Buckeyes. Second player that flipped after Urban Meyer decided to go after them.

I don't think UK will ever be able to sign many players out of Ohio that Urban decides to recruit.

When you win the National Championship it's obvious you are going to own your home state best recruits. To be honest it was amazing we got some decent recruits out of the State of Ohio at all.

WE WILL GET MOP UP PLAYERS FROM OHIO, IF OHIO STATE WANTS THEM, THEY WILL GET THEM.

Playing time factors in as well. Sometimes, even if a program with a better history wants a player, the player may opt to go to the school where he can play right away, instead of waiting a few years for his chance.

Exactly, Boom!

It is what it is and we will just have to keep recruiting in all areas.

He's probably going to have to find some other pipe lines though, now that OSU has won a title!

YEAH LIKE FLORIDA, AND PENNSLVANIA.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 01-28-2015, 07:45 PM:

Those would be a good start!

Florida is loaded with talent!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 01-28-2015, 08:58 PM:

I have never understood why we don't get many recruits out of Florida.

We are going to have to find out exactly why we are losing recruits after they commit to us. There has to be some kind of reason why they leave.

We have also lost the brothers from Ohio who had committed. Forgot their names but it looks like losing our final 6 games didn't help us much. Not being able to win 1 of them and go to a bowl game was the biggest dagger to recruiting. Stoops will have to build it up again if he wants to pull in some big names.
