It’s no surprise that basketball is the more popular topic when it comes to the Kentucky Wildcats, especially with the success they had last year. Just as exciting to a lot of people is what Joker is doing on the football field and what kind of success he is going to bring to the Wildcats. Rich Brooks certainly moved Kentucky football in the right direction. However all talk of Brooks continues to fade into the background as the Joker era comes to life and his time on the green stage nears.[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
The [URL=”http://bleacherreport.com/articles/388669-cfb-recruiting-9-teams-who-got-major-upgrades-with-their-new-coaches#page/7″]Bleacher Report[/URL] says that Joker Phillips is a good recruiter and is a major upgrade in recruiting for the Wildcats. “I’d liken Joker’s success to Jimbo Fisher’s at Florida State, albeit on a smaller scale. A young, fresh coach with strong connections to his talent pool takes over for a program with nothing to lose. The Wildcats are the SEC’s pirates, outliers adrift in one of college football’s most star-studded conferences. It takes a special kind of recruit to dig that vibe, but Joker will find them.”
