I think the bigger issue is that Ole Miss and now Kentucky are raising the $EC salary cap to ridiculous levels. Remember, its possible to likely that Arkansas bought the best RB in Florida for 2012 and now Georgia likely bought the best RB in in Florida this year.

Everyone knows the SEC pays their recruits. It's no surprise that even a hole in the wall place like Kentucky can get talent when you pay a kid or his family enough money he'll go anywhere.

Randy landed a number 1 ranked class his first full recruiting cycle. When you take over a program, its easy to sell what you "will do" without the responsibility of backing it up with what you have or haven't done. Couple that with having plenty of playing time to offer and you have a pretty reasonable sale to make. Lots of coaches do quite well in their first class or two at a school. Hugh Freeze is a great example of that.
Though I myself follow recruiting, I always get tickled by people crowning these bottom dwellers that get hot for one class and claim to be on the rise. Especially so far from signing day. If he has a top 5 class in February, crown his as an excellent recruiter, but even that won't mean much if they don't produce on the field, and they are a few years away from that. If theres one thing that recruits aren't, its patient.
