Look up Craig Yeast and his stats in the SEC.
Haddix said he IS the best player in the state and one of the very best in the country. Shifty, quick and tough.
Yeah so kind of my point. Like 25 years ago.
So, should we give him a chance or go ahead and write him off because of his size? I don't understand the downer attitude.
He's listed an inch taller than Wandale and two inches taller than Craig Yeast. But having seen him in person, his listing might be inflated a bit.
But there's no doubt he's a player.

This kid is special. Some people are just football players. This kid is one of them.
And more recent,Ladd McConkey was about 5'10" and maybe 155 when he signed at UGA. If a kid can run routes and catch the ball regardless of size he can play anywhere including the SEC. Ladd was a 5.5 3* with 1 P5 offer, UGA.
Not a headliner but I’m excited. Kid is borderline 4 star ranked top 25 athlete in nation per Rivals. Haddix with big praise on the kid also.
I’m not trying to squash your joy. Wish I had phrased that differently. I want to find a thoughtful way of saying:
in moments like this we are establishing future win-loss floors and ceilings with the possibility of variance to do 1-2 wins better or worse. We need to keep that in mind when UK goes 6-6 with a tough schedule in three years.
Doing pretty well cashing game checks with the Rams now too.
I guess Neal brown told him he is coming back here next year to be offensive coordinator when Sumrall comes back next year to be head coach.
It's as usual, the Fellowship of the Miserable club.
Yep. Remember Trindon Holliday at LSU? Dude was 5-5, 162 & dominated the SEC & then went on to play in the NFL. It’s not necessarily common for guys that small to have the ball in their hands, but, there have been a few outliers who had very successful careers in the NFL &/or college.
Like others have mentioned, Wan’Dale is a recent example for UK. I’ve seen MQ play & he definitely has the skill to excel in the SEC, IMO, as long as his body can take the punishment. But, that’s always the rub with smaller guys. Personally, I think he’ll be an impact player, here.

None of these guys were their listed height at Kentucky. None within 2 inches of 6ft. No way DLJ was even 5-11.

Right! The on,y time you should concerned with size is QB and some line positions. Obviously there are exceptions everywhere. If you are skilled you can play anywhere. Obvysize helps but if you can ball, you can ball,
I don’t remember Wandale’s weight but he was a thick dude. He even played some RB for Nebraska. Hopefully MQ kills it here but he’s not built like Wandale.
He's smelling his glove. Apparently he's a big fan of Spinal Tap.
