Haven't seen his name pop up anywhere.

 

[Uncle Adolph]

Thanks. Thought maybe I had missed it.

I think he could end up at Marshall but their '24 roster isn't out yet.

EKU maybe? WKU?

Not sure about Rivals, but the other recruiting sites track portal activities by team/players. UK so far had 13 players enter the portal, 10 to new schools. Bingham, McClain, and Reed have not announced new teams yet.

Not on EKU roster, WKU '24 roster not out yet. Marshall is closer to his home.

I think I heard he went ATP.

Most of the guys that left here, transferred down or gave up the sport. Bingham such an anomaly. All the size of a can’t miss player but he missed.

I feel like UK has recruited a lot of linemen that don’t really like to play football, John Young and Goodwin come to mind.

University of Pikeville was what I heard from a law firm guy down there 🍺

Seems like a lot of Kentucky kids get to UK (or other power conference schools) and realize how badly they were prepared in HS against awful opponents. Can't handle practice reps daily against kids just as strong, faster from Ohio/Georgia/Florida who have that dawg in 'em. So they wash out quick.

What is/was Goodwin's next landing spot?

Assembly line at LAP most likely. His playing days are over.

Young transferred to Miami(O) and was a starter on a 11-3 team.

Tomiwa Durojaye transferred to WVU and has transferred again to FSU. Wohlabugh was a starter at Syracuse, Deondre Buford was a starter at Cincy.

John Young transferred to Miami, OH and started there all season long. He was an anchor on their OLine that made it to the MAC Championship game. Pretty sure he'll be back there next year and Miami should be odds on favorites to win the MAC. So I wouldn't say he transferred because he doesn't like football, I just don't think he was quite SEC caliber or didn't get the coaching he needed.

He was a solid HS tennis player. Moved pretty well on the court for a big man when I saw him at the State tournament his junior year playing doubles.

At one time he was getting looked at by Marshall. Wish the best for the kid. Adjusting is hard in this life. I hope all our guys find their rightful place…..except Coen.

Love the ky kids but like I said when he committed, this guy was a major project. Incredible physical tools but did drive block because his team optioned his man. Was amazing in space. UK made the right decision to at least take a flyer.

I warned about Goodwin too and predicted he'd never be an impactful sec tackle. His body structure from the waist down, especially knees down, was way too slim for his size. UK made the right move by taking him but it is what it is
