And hopefully our class continues to get stronger and stronger. Still a long way to go.
Personal issue? ‘ cause he’s a good player and I think everyone would love to see him back
He's undisciplined and unmotivated/lazy. More concerned about celebrating every catch and getting personal foul calls than dedicating himself to getting better. With some slight exceptions, he only catches balls that hit him right in the chest as long as there isn't a defender near him.
While not the biggest fan of DK, I don't agree with your assessment of his performance. Had some DA personal foul calls (a few) and, especially in early '23, had the drops. But, the first 7 or 8 games this year, he was our best offensive player. Kind of disappeared the final few games but that may have been as much about Boley not looking exclusively at him, getting double teamed, etc. He's made some tough catches, for sure. Now, if you're thinking Barion Brown, you'd be 100% correct - always on the verge of getting the UC penalty, celebrates 2-yard catches, drops balls right in his bread basket, etc.
You didn’t watch Uk football in 2024
The last 5 games he basically disappeared and didn't seem to be working to get open or running good routes. He averaged 2 catches per game over that stretch. That's almost half our season.
Dane was 15th in sec in receiving yards in 2024…
Yeah sounded like Know1 was getting Dane mixed up with somebody else. Dane had one PF I can think of othewise was pretty much a gamer for us. Played through a lot of frustration trying to get the ball thrown his way when we seemed to try to force it to Brown who did have the the other issues Know was mentioning. And as far as catching the ball Dane had a few drops like everybody but made a ton of really tough catches. In fact early on when he wasnt getting that many targets is seemed almost all of his catches were tough ones in traffic. He has great hands and good ability to catch in in traffic, just lacks get away speed. But he can be a really good possession guy at the next level IMO. Reminds me of Keenan Burton.
I am a harcore UK fan. I live in FL, but travel to see the football team (mostly) and he basketball team (occasionally) 2-3 times a year. I may be unique in this respect, but I really don't care who is playing for the team. I cheer for whoever shows up and as soon as they are gone, my allegiance moves on. Once they leave UK, I wish them well and I carry zero disdain, but they are scratched from the hard drive. I do keep up with the former guys who went to the NFL, but if they transfer to another school, they are like an ex girlfriend after a mutual break up.
Need to find a QB that can throw laying on his back.
With that schedule 6-6 is the best case scenario. I’d take that if I saw the offense move in the right direction
