Sure we have, but have we really missed anything? Oh, I could go back to the Randall Cobb thing (yes, I’m that old 😒). But I don’t recall any after, that was a forehead smacking and gritting your teeth moment.

Ah we could have really used Oxedine IMO. There are others too. But I agree with @SweetasSoda I don't think we should be competing with them for ANY recruits. If you get offered by UT and UK you choose UT 100 out of 100 times. Unfortunately that hasn't been the case for a while.

Who was that OL we missed on a couple years ago? He had already filmed a commitment video to Tennessee then went to KY. Rogers?

I’ll be the first to admit I didn’t remember until I had to look it up and then a light bulb, Justin Rogers. As soon as they commit and play for a different school I don’t care. I still don’t wish Stoops gone. Because when we look forward to Kentucky losing their head coach, makes them relevant. That was my point.

I think teams that were on the fence stick with their coach until next season at least. Those colleges locking in their coaches look a lot smarter than they did at first. Those guys were shopping themselves around.

I wish turmoil on every other team in the SEC, even Vanderbilt. Luckily, Vanderbilt is always in turmoil, just because they're Vanderbilt. So if Stoops leaves KY, I will bask in their tears. Yummy, yummy.

Ah, makes sense. And I forget them too obviously!

I'm ready for commitments to roll in. From recruits AND transfers. If Gibbs will just go ahead and commit this week, that'll be great.

And if I remember correctly it was between us and UK for Barron. Glad we came out on top of that one. But didn't we have to give his dad a job? Maybe I'm wrong and my mind is playing tricks on me.

We really need another running back, OL and linebacker from the portal that can make immediate impact. Interior DL and edge rusher would be nice too

Heup seeing all this money being thrown around and he will need a bump. He actually deserves it, he took a bunch of misfits and had them in every game and won 7 games when most experts thought Tn would win 3-4 games. Give the man a raise

Gibbs is a no-brainer, tho. He'd immediately shore up the RB room. Yes, we need other positions, but I'm not sure there are any other no-brainers officially in the portal, yet.

No reason to do that yet, let him earn it, if he remains on, or ahead of schedule bump his contract next year.

I agree, but there are immediate contributors all over the portal right now. But Heupel will need to be selective, they must fit the system and at immediate depth or positional improvement.
