Bama offers Cutter Boley from LCA

I hope we can keep him!
After reading what he said about Bama, Big Dog and Stoops have their work cut out for them. Just hope WL has a huge season so he can fell that way about UK. Anybody know if he's grown up a UK fan?
 
Boley has already announced he's going to stay at LCA for a year or maybe two then go off to one of the football prep places
 
Will he be a sophomore this year or is he a Junior this coming season. Where does he project nationally?
 
There's a poster on HOB who seems to know the family and it sounds like Clemson is the offer he's waiting on.
 
Well, pretty cool to see the state have a stud QB. Sucks that he's going to bounce to a prep school but that seems to be the norm of today. Would love to get a guy like that at Kentucky but the elite always eat first. You always just hope to get the guy that turns into a gem that the big programs overlooked.

We'll never get the guy.

I know the family. I have family that attended Larue County high with him. This guy will be well traveled by the time he finishes his high school career.

So is this kid's parents getting jobs in Lexington simply so the kid can play football? Or is he staying with someone in Lexington while the family remains back home? LCA is private so where he lives doesn't matter but still I find this aspect curious.

There was a kid from Knott County, a 6-foo-8 QB who transferred to Frederick Douglass for his senior year. His parents got an apartment near the high school. When football season ended, he transferred back to Knott County to graduate. Kind of messed up. He went to Cincinnati. He was recruited as QB. Then I think he was changed to TE before becoming an offensive linemen now.

Dad has a Dentist office in Hodgenville.
 
He was a SO this past season.
He apparently reclassified due to the Kentucky Bill.

"Boley has also reclassified to the Class of 2025, meaning he’ll be a sophomore again in the fall and have three years to play for the Eagles."

"Boley, originally a class of 2024 prospect, has reclassified to the 2025 class under Kentucky Senate Bill 128"

I know the family as an acquaintance but I have a.couple of family members who are close to the Boley family. They are nominally UK fans but their kids, with the exception of the oldest son, did not play high school sports at home, so if he goes to a prep school, he's essentially doing that now at LCA. They live in Larue County. I think I had heard his older brother is at UK now. He played football at Wyoming for a year and then transferred to WKU but gave up football. I doubt he'll still be on campus when Cutter is a freshman unless its grad school or the Van Wilder plan. The sister, of course, has been the star athlete to this point, played basketball at E'town, Gatorade National Player of the Year, went to Notre Dame and then transferred to Oregon but Covid lockdown ended her senior year there. They are nice people and they were at UK games last year and I think our staff is in a good place with them.
 
They've always been huge UK fans, the entire family, but this kid will go to the school with the best chance to win a National Championship. His dad will make sure of it. That's why his daughter (Erin) spurned UK twice and went to Notre Dame, then transferred to Oregon.

I think they basically gave High Schoolers a Covid year to play too. but why would a player at that level choose an extra year of HS, instead of accellerating getting to College?

It has been common in football to do this. Covid wasn’t needed in “the old days,” when school admins and boards wanted to win at all costs, as did the players.

Football is a sport that heavily favors strength and maturity.

Think of your own development from the ages of 16 to 24. At 16, I struggled to keep my weight at 150. I weighed a solid 200 at 24 years of age.

Definitely makes a huge difference in football. It sure as hell made a difference in basketball too. My junior year, we lost in the regional championship to a team that was all held back a year. So instead of being college freshmen, they were still in high school. Everyone on our team were in the grade we were supposed to be in.

I can't imagine making my kid repeat the same damn grade just so he can get some athletic advantage yet that's what parents will do in elementary school all the time.

I think KY has an age limit for HS athletes. I know a lot of kids were held back to help them advance athletically, but a lot of them were held back in grade school or very early in their development. I wouldn't want to be a kid held back in HS unless I was changing schools, otherwise, you end up putting them behind your peers and friends who are moving on in grade.

Clemson made some nice inroads into Kentucky somehow. This will be at least the second big recruit they'll get out of our backyard.

It is that you can't turn 19 before your senior year starts. But a week later is fine. I do not know how they handled that with the virus extension though.

Still would like to know he and the family's attitude toward UK.

They might be casual UK fans, but they aren't HUGE UK fans or they wouldn't be worried about sending him to a school to win a natty.

Yeah, may not be a fan like Couch for instance. As a kid growing up I wouldn't have even considered any school other than UK if they was offering me scholarship. Fans are on different levels in loyalty.
 
Where does he project to be ranked nationally by the time he's a senior? Will he be a top 5 QB nationally?
