Please explain why Stallings got COY. Cal beats him twice in a season and goes 29-2. What the heck? Reasoning?

I'm dumbfounded by that choice, as well. I actually thought Stallings finished about 4th behind Calipari, Pearl and even Mark Fox. Poor effort on that one by the SEC...

Simply stated, Coach Stallings won it because he actually recruited the players that play for Vanderbilt. Kentucky BOUGHT their recruiting class off the backs of the University of Memphis. Kentucky didn't win a recruiting war to get last year's haul. In other words, you can't BUY the COY award. Ok??!! Got It??!!

And how would you know that UK bought their recruiting class? You shouldn't waste your time posting on this blog. You should concentrate on taking all your hard evidence straight to the NCAA. In the absence of hard evidence, you should just STFU.

Yep. Some times you need a nice cup of STFU.
