During his news conference with reporters this week, University of Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen was asked about venturing back into the recruiting game and, in particular, what he looks for in a high school quarterback.
He answered with three words first uttered during his debut sit-down with local media when he was hired in December: “A point guard.”
Coen then elaborated.
If Wimsatt spurns UK for the Garden State, it could be a short-term blow to how the Wildcats are perceived across the country. Being able to prevent such a decision from having an extended impact is in the hands of Coen, his staff and current players.
“I think once you prove you can throw the football a little bit better, you’ll attract some of that talent and some of those guys to compete at those positions,” Coen said. “We need to get better at every position at the end of the day. That’s through development but that’s in recruiting as well.”
