Are we 100% sure he's staying at UK?

Seems like he's the one name that keeps coming up as UK continues to bring in more WR talent...
 
If Brown were leaving wouldnt he have hit the portal by now? I'm sure other schools have reached out to him and gauged interest and stuff.
 
I've heard numerous rumblings that Texas wants him, and they also want Matthew Golden, and likely will lose Worthy and Mitchell to the NFL, and they just had 2 other WR's transfer.

If other schools "reach out" to one of our players, that would be tampering. Tampering surely goes on through intermediaries, but it is just about one of the only ways to get into trouble with the NCAA anymore. The permitted procedure is that a player enters the portal and THEN other coaching staffs are permitted to contact him. That's the reason the transfer portal rule was enacted in the first place.

If BB was going to transfer, that would have happened a year ago when he had three years of eligibility left and was coming off a record setting season, before Coach Scan was fired. I have heard the rumors, but it appears to be reverberating gossip without a solid source. In fact, UK is about to bring in Brock Vandagriff plus a new WR coach, which only helps BB. And let's not forget, Coach Coen was instrumental in recruiting BB during his first tour in Lexington.
 
Yes Brown is returning. If he was leaving they would have pursued McCully. JRow talked about it earlier in the week.

If a superpower program wants Barion it would be as a special teams returner. He isn't good enough wr yet to take snaps at a Bama or Ohio or Georgia or even the big portal spenders now at Ole Miss and Auburn and Miami.
Yes but....you can coach better route running, you can build better hand strength but you can't coach elite speed and that is what Brown has. Anybody in college football would take that top end speed and build on the areas that need improvement.

Not at all. It would be because BB has two more seasons of eligibility plus the tools to become an NFL receiver. That isn't what BB is now, but talented players improve over time when developed properly. And that in a nutshell is why Woodward is gone.
 
I bet hes thinking of other NIL deals

I hope theres not another Fossil watch in the bowl game swag bag.

Hate to agree but true. Hope he develops some more skills in his route running etc. He did seem to get better later in the year in the short and intermediate stuff.

There's tons of info that never comes to light from free resources. JRowland gives great insight info.
Exactly. All you have to do is look at both boards here. The info on HOB is worth every penny.

I love Rowland but, sorry, all the accurate information can be accessed elsewhere. If you are paying for the service, you have a conflict of interest in claiming the information is not available elsewhere because people believe what they want to believe. And there is also a significant amount of speculation that does not come true. This isn't worth debating, though. If you want to pay, go ahead. Whatever makes you happy.
