Seriously, Liam Coen's return impacts Boley as much as any potential UK target. If Leary has a productive season and gets drafted in a favorable position, that will be two straight UK starting QBs receiving a positive NFL reception. Coen will apply an NFL perspective and a different eye to the coaching staff's QB recruiting board, and I trust Coen's presence makes UK more attractive to QB prospects. Coen will have an opportunity to watch Boley play next fall. If Boley has the qualities Coen is looking for, then UK will be tough to beat for his commitment. I think Boley's size and arm strength present the kind of tool set that a QB specialist like Coen could develop very well, if that's what Coen decides.

Coen has tons of charisma and just has an incredible ability to relate to players. Imo it paid off so much in recruiting and will continue for as long as he is here.

The only thing that will ever stop him from monster hauls will be the questions about him leaving soon.

Any coach can leave. The most successful coaches are in the most demand. Players have to pick the campus and the environment on the team. I agree about Coen's people skills. He never got a chance to recruit the first time, but he still influenced some current Wildcats in that single year. Kentucky already recruits well on the defensive side. I expect Coen to improve our offensive recruiting quickly. This may have started happening already.
 
Probably none and that’s my biggest fear with him being a NPA kid. They’re gonna take most of what any kid makes.
Boley's entire family have always been huge UK fans. We're from the same area (Hodgenville in LaRue County) I'm sure they enjoyed the ass whipping UK put on your Vols last Saturday! Boley's mom and dad are at most of UK's home games just as fans.

I know you guys have a really tough time with rules. There is NIL now, but it is still against the rules for the university and its designated representatives to hand cash to prospects. NIL cannot be connected to the university. NIL has to be run separately from the school. It is a sponsorship or spokesperson contract with a separate entity. Look it up.

You understand that you don’t have to hand out bags when you have nil…right?

And you don't have to worry about NIL when your athletic dept funnels TV $$ to boosters who in turn funnels it to NIL. Since there's zero oversight it's so Tennessee.
