With signing day less than 24 hours away, Kentucky Coach Mark Stoops is making Kentucky football well known across the country. During the Super Bowl Sunday Night Kentucky aired a commercial and Stoops narrated the spot “Why Not.”
Kentucky’s Super Bowl Promo has the attention of NFL writers, Chase Goodbread has an article on NFL.com about the commercial.
“Why Kentucky? Why not?” Stoops said in the ad.
According to rivals.com, Kentucky is on track to sign the 13th-ranked class in the country on Wednesday, ahead of such traditional recruiting powers as Texas, Oklahoma and Michigan. The trick for Stoops, which Kentucky coaches who have preceded him have consistently failed to do, is attract multiple highly regarded classes consecutively. That’s what it will take to pull the Wildcats out of the SEC East cellar for any extended period of time.
Largely bereft of talent at the quarterback position, Stoops’ rebuilding effort may eventually claim quarterback Drew Barker, featured in the advertisement, as a cornerstone. Barker is a four-star recruit from Burlington, Ky., who spurned offers from Louisville, Miami, and other more successful programs to play for his home-state school.
