Another recruit switches and is headed to Kentucky

Look up Craig Yeast and his stats in the SEC.
Derrick Abney and Kurt Johnson were two more about his size and both were pretty tough, Johnson was even smaller.
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.
Hopefully whoever the QB is at the time, can get the ball to him.
Something you have to get used to until they all die off
Craig Yeast
Derek Abney
Brad Pyatt
Dicky Lyons Jr
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.
Corbin is no pushover in high school football. MQ has dominated Corbin. Few players do that. Just wait and see. The kid is simply a player and a winner. Im thrilled to see him coming to UK.
Totally agree. I personally saw Quisenberry give one of the Smith twins from Corbin a piggy-back ride in to the end zone during the playoffs last year. Smith twin had no chance on that play. Quisenberry is thicker than he looks.
For context, the play I mentioned occurs around the 3:43 mark in the video.

He plays for Boyle County, and WVU's head coach (Neal Brown) also played for Boyle County.

To name a few
I guess what separates Montavin from these guys is they were more straight line speee and he’s more Lynn Bowden shiftier type them just pure straight speed
I am not in rhe camp he’s a good WanDale comparison. I mean WanDale is small, fast snd shifty..//but kid had amazing hands as translated to Wr so well. Montavin has not shown the same level of wr skill …he’s basically a Rb for Boyle…he shifts to wr and short screens or go route….but not a to. Of wr
I have no problem taking him but I think he’s a bit redundant when you already have three other wr kids in this class…but if rhe 85 limit is going away…then take them all I guess
