Harris made the right decision

[Wernicke Korsakoff]

Going to UK would have been a bad decision.

It would be like DeMarcus Cousins choosing Bama over UK in basketball, except Bama basketball is a bit more prestigious than UK football.

How can you fault a kid for making a good decision?

 

[Dreklie]

Glad our own fans are now saying it was a good decision to pick another school, go root for Bama then.

 

[KeepingItReal74]

We won't know for 3 or 4 years if it was right after he carries the ball fir the first time in his collegiate career.

 

[THE_OAK]

Go back to the basketball board.

How can anyone know whether or not he made a good or bad decision for himself? Go Cats!!

 

[Cantwaitfor8]

I'm sorry but any UK fan cannot say a recruit especially any in-state guys picking another school is good. Losers mentality and there's no place for it as this program rises.

Going to Bama may have been a "good" decision.....but not sure how ANY UK fan could say that going to UK would be a bad decision. Hopefully the rest of the young men we are recruiting don't share your opinion!

 

[uk4444cats]

OP - your post sucks!!!

 

[geteven]

Stupid post, If he was really ever part of BBN he would have committed to UK today. Good for him, now move on down south. Let's go Stoops!

Yeah, just like Tim Couch? No way Harris will be more respected, loved, or pampered by fans or the school or people in the entire state than he would at UK. PERIOD. Set for life if he goes here and produces.

Looks like a UK bayskeeball and Bama football fan...

 

[-BBH-]

What a terrible, terrible take.

GTFO, Bama is that way. . .

Do you even give a dam about Kentucky football? Never mind,stupid question.

 

[UKfan215]

Hey OP, this is for you...

 

[EclipsingYou]

Disagree completely.

At UK he could have been the man from his 1st game on campus, had 10 touches per game at least backing up Boom as a FR, and forever be an athletic superstar in Kentucky like Randall Cobb, MKG, Tim Couch, etc.

At Bama he will join 9 other RB that were all rated similar to him, have to RS as a FR, and hope that he gets 10 carries a game as a RS JR if he emerges out of all the HS All Americans at his position on the roster.

 

[teach them linear]

Hopefully, he doesn't get hurt or under produce and have to deal with Sabin pulling his scholarship.

 

[jnewc2]

My goodness these basketball-first fans are coming out of the woodwork

And before you start another one of these dumb threads go look at where the number one high school basketball player in the country is committed to

 

[Mike-D]

what a stupid thread. thanks OP.

like how he threw in the alabama basketball program was more prestigious.

 

[optimus-blue]

It's amazing how many UK basketball fans really pull against the football program

If you had a potential multi-million dollar future, would you spend the next few years running behind Bama's O-line or UK's? Didn't Cousins make a good decision by going to a program that had the exposure, the coach, the support from teammates to get him to the next level in the best possible way? He would have made it either way, but coming here gave him a huge advantage.

 

[UKWinsAgainYep]

OP, You are the typical loser-mentality UK football fan. Your post is so awful. We don't need losers like you dragging down UK football. Mark Stoops believes. So do i....So please, leave us all along and don't post such stupidity anymore on this board.

Boo, you suck!

 

[Deeeefense]

We have Vince Marrow and the rest of the staff working their butts off day and night to sell Kentucky Football - the facilities, the staff, the community, the BBN, and the bright future we have ahead and then tools like this do everything they can to work against them.

Heck if you want to believe all good players should go to Bama fine but it might be useful if you keep that thought for yourself or at least just among your fellow basketball first and only peers.

Depends on whether you think UK's O-line won't improve over time. These fans that can predict how our line and Bama's lines are going to do next year and beyond, well, I hope you are playing the lottery since you seem to know how everything is going to turn out.

So Barker, Elam, Boom, Krok, Richardson, Baker, Meadows, Ware, Horton, Conrad, etc, all made bad decisions. Harris is no longer Kentucky, forever.

Boogie Cousins didn't constantly wear Alabama clothing, attend every Alabama home game but 1 and encourage Bama fans to follow his every post on social media prior to making his commitment. Heck, Boogie was going to Memphis to play for Cal until Cal came here. Boogie at least stayed true to Cal.

Mr. Harris lead all of the BBN on including our coaching staff. That's the biggest problem most of our fans have with the way all of this went down.

I agree completely. Had we looked at this as a long shot all the way then no biggie. But we were ALL led to beleive we were right there and maybe in the drivers seat at times. Truth it for the last 1.5 months we've been out of the picture. That's what stings. And it's not quite comparable to basketball Harris could've been the face of this program for a long long time. Remember there was a first big name to come to UK basketball, bama football, oregon, tosu etc etc.... Mash came and likely pulled the bball program out of the dumpster was that a bad decision? I just can't fathom the thought process. But anyway #BOOM!!!!

 

[chevyman 50]

He will be just another 5 star player at Bama.. Everybody on there team is either 4 or 5 stars.

Depends on whether he even gets off the sidelines or not. Besides I did not see anything special about the Alabama O-line when Ohio St was kicking their ass last week.

 

[optimus-blue]

First of all, Football is not one and done sport, I would say Randal Cobb is more popular and more exposed than Demarcus.

Except that he's one of the best 5 star players they'll have.

 

[U Go UK]

Idiot.

 

[MirageSmack]

If you are going to say that then every kid should play for Harvard or Notre Dame. That actually would be a good business decision. Looks at sports casters, industry leaders and TV and radio personalities, many are ND grads. How many Bama grads are calling games? A RB has a few years in the league, education is more beneficial in the long run.

 

[GoTheDistance]

Are you saying Elam made the wrong decision?

The kid made a decision that he though was right for him i wish he was coming to Kentucky but Kentucky football will still get better and i think CMS will get us to the promise land so good luck to Harris and lets GO CATS!!!!!

You defeat your own argument. Yes Cousins would have made it to the NBA had signed with UAB or South Alabama. His talent got him to the NBA. In your way of thinking Kentucky has never had a player go to the NFL. You think Kentucky does not have the coach or support from teammates to get a player to the next level in the best possible way? If Damien Harris has the talent to play in the NFL he will get to the NFL and could get there if signs with EKU. The Top 10 best programs do not have a closed club when it comes to the NFL. I think there are several current UK players who do not agree with you. You need a history lesson.

This post was edited on 1/9 11:25 PM by catbenLeading the staff and the fans on is a different discussion entirely. He was obviously a big UK fan who had to make a tough decision going elsewhere. I'm just saying it was the better choice for him. Obviously he felt that way too, despite his "allegiance" to Kentucky.
