Maalik Murphy Duke QB visiting UK today.

Auburn is all over Murphy (he already took a 2-day visit). Hate to say he might just be using us to drive the price up.
 
In another thread I posted about getting Murphy. I was roasted by a couple of posters. "He had 11 INTs", "he can't scramble", "he throws dinks and dunks". I countered back with "3,000 years and 29 TD's is 3,000 yards and 29 TD's, no matter how you get it." Not to mention it was his first year as a starter and has 2 years left to play.

3k yards is pedestrian?
I’d much rather take 3k yards and 26 TDs from a guy in his first year starting than another highly rated backup like Vandagriff. Murphy was highly rated out of HS himself committing originally to Texas and had some solid numbers leading Duke to 9-3 record.

It can be with a 60% completion rate and 12 INTs.
60 percent isn’t bad lol. The ints aren’t great but it was his first year as starter. I would’ve loved for our QB to have had those numbers last year. Not to mention who exactly do yall think we can get in the portal? Come on lol
 
Those stats were against acc teams. With our inept offense and sec defenses, will be a challenge for him to replicate here.

Devin Leary threw for 3400+ yards and 35 TD's with only 5 int's in 2021 at NC St. How'd that work out for us when we got him. Leary wasn't the most mobile guy either. We need a guy with some pocket presence who is a threat to run as well.

Most of that was our fault. Leary was a spread shotgun QB. He was not a under center pro style passing QB. It was not a good fit.

He then was hurt in 2022 and not sure the version UK got was ever the same physically as the 2021 season.
