I think it happened last year too. I wouldn't be surprised if WKU is 2-0 vs. the SEC after next week. I doubt it effects their recruiting too much though
All new coaches so I doubt it does anything significant since none of the players are their guys.
Their OC and running backs coach, Neal Brown and Chad Scott, are pretty decent recruiters, so I'm sure they'll be alright on that side of the ball at least.
