Title: Researching UK’s opponent: How Alabama Football Players Ranked as Recruits Post by: Marshal Dillon on September 27, 2016, 05:12:12 PM Good stuff.
Quote The UK football team faces its toughest test of the season Saturday night at Alabama, and the recruiting rankings behind the Crimson Tide’s roster tell the story of the uphill battle awaiting the Wildcats. Alabama — a five-touchdown favorite as of Tuesday morning — has won four national championships in the past seven seasons under Coach Nick Saban, who has built that success through a foundation of excellence on the recruiting trail. Alabama freshman Jalen Hurts was ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 9 dual-threat quarterback in the class of 2016. Numbers game Alabama has 17 five-star players, 39 four-star players, 24 three-star players and two two-star players on its roster. By comparison: UK has one five-star recruit (true freshman offensive lineman Landon Young), 15 four-star recruits, 49 three-star recruits and 10 two-star recruits on its roster this season. http://www.kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-football/article104417121.html |
