Respectfully, based upon what premise?
jack coffee is as big a homer as there is out there. yes some schools get bumped up, bama, ut, texas, osu... but UK isn't a fly on the wall in football yet. towles worked with whitfield who has worked with a lot of good qb's in the pros and he said towles was the kind of guy you can build a program around. kiper is not a UK fan last time i checked but he says towles is top 3 qb prospects at this time in the jr class. obviously he has to continue to improve and having more talent around him and a better line should let him show more of his skill this year and next.I think a lot of this feeling comes from recruiting rankings. Towles was highly ranked so some just carry this notion that said player is better than what they are showing on the field. I just read a post from Jack Coffee (who heads up the Louisville Rivals site) on our board that basically outed the recruiting service process. He said that when players commit or get mentioned with schools with a large subscriber base, they tend to bump up their rankings to keep the base happy. Obviously UK has an enormous subscriber base thus the rankings are actually higher than they should be. Don't kill the messenger. This comes from a someone who's been in the game a long time and runs the UofL version of this service.

your coaches like him better because the o-line is suspect and he's more mobile than the other guys.
Have to disagree. Jack is a business man. In fact, I am not sure he is really a fan at all. I think he just covers UofL sports to make a living. I recall he used to have a radio show on here in town and he didn't come across as a homer at all. In fact, I recall him crushing UofL fans for pooping in Steve Kragthorpe's pool. Any UofL fan would not have attacked fans like that nor defended Steve Kragthorpe. Like I said, it's a business. He was very matter of fact on his show and never really came across like a cheerleader.
Do you know Jack? I must admit, I don't know him personally. Only what I've heard from his old radio show and some spots he's done on other local shows. He always seemed like a pretty down to Earth guy who kind of told it like it was. He didn't seem biased at all to me. I am sincerely curious. If you know him personally and he is truly hateful, I will have to reexamine my thoughts. He's never come across like that in all my years of following Jack. Like I said, he was very critical of UofL fans during Kragthorpe's departure. That always struck me as odd since Krags was a train wreck. You would think a "blinded" UofL fan would side with his fan base and not an outgoing coach who was an utter failure.Wow, your hits keep coming. Jack Coffee is full of hate for UK and that's all that matters to me. He's blinded by it. He's a jealous, hateful man.
As if this debate topic was not stupid and foolish enough...but please, lets compare UK's healthy elite-level athlete QB to a guy walking around on what, now 3 (and counting) completely surgically rebuilt knees

Also, do you know if he is any relation to Nick Coffee who has a local radio show here in town?
Steelers probably knows him. Steelers, what can you tell us about Jack Coffee? Is he a pretty standup guy? Also, is he biased against UK? I have never picked up on it on his radio show but some others say he is. Just curious since I imagine you know the guy. Thank.I don't, but have heard him on the radio many times on many different shows. Personally he may be a fine guy, but I have heard him make ridiculous observations about UK clearly due to his bias.
Really don't give a chit about Jack Coffee .....We have TKE's info and thats good enough.Steelers probably knows him. Steelers, what can you tell us about Jack Coffee? Is he a pretty standup guy?

Just FYI, EasyCard also verified that this is a common practice among recruiting services over on the UofL board.I don't, but have heard him on the radio many times on many different shows. Personally he may be a fine guy, but I have heard him make ridiculous observations about UK clearly due to his bias.
I know he runs the Louisville Sports report and the rivals site (or at least he did not too long ago). He used to have a show called the Cardinal Corner. It was probably the best show in the area at the time. They had him, Howie, and a couple of other guys. He was a good guy to listen to. The show also had a really catchy lead in song. I wish I could remember how it goes but it was really good. I would download it on iPod if I could find it somewhere.I've never met, nor heard, the man before. I just know he is a UofL board mod. That's the extent of my knowledge of him.

The jury is out on both guys right now. As a Card fan I can tell you last year other than a few flashes of quality play I thought Reggie was a liability on offense. He was not accurate in his passing and he was slow making the correct reads and held on to the ball to long. We were much better with Gardiner before he was hurt and Bolin in the UK game and even the Georgia game.
WIth that said the truth is Reggie was a very inexperience true freshmen QB who had no business playing last season He was not ready. In the spring Reggie looked much better. His throws were better and decisions quicker but time will tell. UL has a a lot of competition at QB.
As for Towels he has had some great games but also some bad games. He is a hard guys to figure. This year will show what he has. Towles is 2 years older than Reggie and has much more time in the UK program
Maybe by the time he's done he will work his way into the draft. No way he gets drafted in the first round. Neither Brian Brohm or ANdre Woodson were first rounders and they were much better QB's than Towles. I think we can all agree on that whether we are red or blue.
OK, UK just got a commit from a juco ot that was ranked #3 at his position and he was rated 1 spot below a 4* immediately after he committed. had he committed to bama, uga, aub, or any of the other schools recruiting him im sure he'd of been a 4*. boom was rated the #1 apb in the country and immediately after committing to UK he was dropped to 6th. UK does not get the bonus points that you're talking about... again, just stop with the nonsense. 90% of the kids we get end up getting dropped several spots in the rankings and some of our commits dont get rated even when they go to a camp and do well and have offers from wisc, neb, mich st, ms st, scar, aub, nc st, and whoever else. if you want to rationalize our success i'd do it on your board cause its not even a smidge of truth in relation to UK recruits in football.Just FYI, EasyCard also verified that this is a common practice among recruiting services over on the UofL board.
