Here's a post indicating that at least one UK fan is not retarded:
I can't see that trashing Lofton does anything for anybody. Lofton was available to UK if they wanted him. UK chose other players for obvious reasons.
I don't believe Lofton would have had any problems playing at UK. Can't imagine anyone even thinking that.
Everybody that didn't recruit him made a mistake. But trashing this young man is just sour grapes. Its so predictable how UK fans will react toward a recruit. He's all-world unless he chooses to go elsewhere. Then he is overated and he will sit the bench. You would think they would learn, but it happens year after year after year. I don't think Lofton will be a very high draft piack, but he certaintly was an excellent college player.
