In the last week, the Kentucky football team has gotten a lot of good news. On both offense and defense, the Wildcats are getting seniors back for a final ride in the Commonwealth.
As Mark Stoops and his program look to continue to close the gap with Georgia in the SEC East, Kentucky must find any advantage possible. Kentucky has closed the gap on signing day with improved high school recruiting, but the Bulldogs are consistently signing top-five classes under Kirby Smart. Therefore, the Wildcats must find some other places to close the gaps.
With the transfer portal, Kentucky has been able to find some instant starters, but that is also a tool available to the Bulldogs and the other elites in college football.
