08:37 AM ET 07.14 | Look out, SEC. Joker Phillips is convinced Kentucky can be a SEC football power. More than a few folks believe him. In just more than six months as coach, Phillips has commitments from 14 prospects for the 2011 recruiting class. That includes highly regarded defensive back Glen Faulkner and defensive tackle Clint Tucker, both of East St. Louis (Ill.) High. This time last year, the Wildcats had two commitments. "This is exactly what we envisioned," Phillips said of the Wildcats' fast start. "We want to be a top-10 program, and to be a top-10 program, you've got to recruit. When I hire coaches, the No. 1 thing I ask is, 'Can he recruit?' Second is, 'How is he as a teacher?' Third, I want enthusiasm and passion for Kentucky. I've got to sell the coaches first. They have to have passion for the plan we have in place."

I wish them the best of luck but they are in arguably the toughest division in college football.

Really? So, I guess they forgot they have Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and even up and coming Vanderbilt in their division. Are they talking about tackle football?

Kentucky is 2-22 over the past 8 years against Tenn, UGA and S. Car. The two wins came against UGA.
They will need to improve that stat before they can be in the East division winner conversation.

1 - Define "tackle football". Do you mean where the rules allow it whether or not the Kentucky defense actually accomplishes the feat, or does it imply that someone on their team actually is capable of tackling an opponent?
2 - Vanderbilt has a football team?

I wonder if Getty has any group pictures of this Kentucky fan and his "significant other", the Mizzou fan with the cute little kitty-cat face?
