Please tell me there was a worse one under BG or Tubby.
Is Pope trying to lower the bar all time?

Is this the worst UK recruiting class in UK history?

- Start date
I don't know about worst, but it ain't good for a year 3 coach who had sold out Rupp during his introductory presser
Perry, Thomas, Alleyne, Woo. I think the Rekalin Sims class as well, I can't remember who all was in that.
Of course not but it's not a class that will win anything either.
BG’s last class would have been worse if he’d been allowed to bring it in.
That class will always be tops …. I mean bottoms
Just an FYI, per 247, Shagari was ranked 73rd, Sheray was 112yh, Bobby Perry 113th, and Woo was 276th. Mason Williams is ranked 127th.
Tubby’s 2005 class was pretty bad:
Rekalin Sims
Jared Carter
Adam Williams
Sims was a JUCO-AA, Carter was a 3-star and Williams was unranked.

It’s sad we’re at the point we can have threads like this.
No, but considering Pope had the advantage of actually paying players...it's really bad.
How? He had Daniel orton at least
Injured Daniel Orton along with Hunter McClintlock, Vinnie Zollo, and Dakotah Euton was not what you’re thinking it was.
our 1 HS recruit was sub 100 ranking and we got his father to be an assistant. This is the worst recruiting cycle a top 50 program has ever had.
It doesn’t matter where it ranks comparatively to past recruiting classes, Pope can literally write multi million dollar checks to players!
When you factor in the pay for play aspect, it’s probably the worst recruiting haul among the top 25 programs in the NIL era.
If you are able to, continue to keep your head in the sand, and don’t take it out until next season is over, because things are going to get WAY worse before they get better.

It's atrocious. He should be ashamed. I really don't understand the lack of panic from the fanbase.
Not counting transfers is silly imo. Ndiaye isn't a transfer either, so he counts as a 'recruit', not a transfer. Since he's probably a starter, he's maybe at worst roughly equivalent to a #30-40?
However, 05/06 is by far the worst - Carter and Williams. Sims was a Juco transfer.
Also, 24/25 was probably the second worst - Perry and Noah (with the other 8 transfers or so)
04/05 is rather bad too with Perry, Thomas, Obrzut, and Alleyne. They came with Patrick Sparks though.
The class before Mashburn was awful - Brassow, Braddy, Bearup, and Parks - 89/90

Also I think 81/82 may be worse. We only got Troy McKinley from Independence, KY and Mike Ballenger from Jasper, Indiana. McKinley only had an offer from George Washington before winning the Sweet 16. Ballenger transferred to WKU.
Another low class was 75/76 with Truman Claytor, Dwane Casey, and Bob, the Frog, Fowler. Casey was recommended by the governor? Fowler died at age 32 while at Keeneland. That's really sad.

It’s absolutely the worst if you’re going by the traditional way of judging by just high school recruits. Unless you’re being nice by adding the portal guys and then it’s only slightly better than some of the worst.
Easily Tubby’s worst was the Shagari, Woo, Thomas and Perry class. Williams and little Hawthorne aren’t ranked remotely close to most of the guys in that Tubby class.
I’m not panicking because there’s nothing I can do about it. We either suck next year and get a new coach or the current roster is better than rankings, gels well and has a good year. Those are our options.
This isnt a terrible class. Especially if we land a couple of those top Euro players.
It's not terrible its just not a contender which seems to be what Kentucky has been for the last several years, not terrible and not a contender.
The only good one we were in on was that Stefan guy and he decided not to go to college. Sounds like Pope will sign that trash player in Israel though.
By high school recruits, Tubby's worst is Jared Carter and Adam Williams. Pitino's first class in 89/90 with Brassow and Joe B Halls 81/82 class were probably just as bad.
My vote is you are one of so many on here now that one of the “worst posters” on here. Sick of the same stuff over and over.
