Did they say why? If it's for character reasons, we should care.
But if they think they have a better backup, Murphy still produced. And Oklahoma pushed out a Heisman candidate last year. So that factoid wouldn't scare me off.
Maalik Murphy Duke QB visiting UK today.
- Thread starter Father Torque

If you watched any Duke this year, you should be hoping that he goes somewhere else. Numbers aside, he has a weak arm, isn’t very accurate, doesn’t seem to make progressions well, and isn’t a running threat.
I think Boley can develop into a good QB but he certainly hasn’t shown enough to go into next season with him as a starter either. Had a nice half vs Texas, looked like a true Freshman vs UofL. Has a lot of upside but hasn’t earned the starting job either.
Duke also dropped 22 passes which obviously hurts the completion percentage.
Regarding the QB from WSU, he has a "no contact" tag on him, so likely headed to OU.
We will suck on O no matter who the QB is as long as Stoops is coach. Mateer is easily better than Murphy IMO
They didn’t dive in they just said Duke didn’t fight to keep him. Could be a budget deal plus they had the Tulane guy in their back pocket. Duke didn’t face many good defenses this year so the 11 interception would be red flag.
Yeah. If perennial football powerhouse Duke only went 9-3 with him, improving by a measly 1 win over last year, how good can he be.
He does NOT have a weak arm. Can easily throw the ball 50 yards in the air. He has a VERY strong arm. Might want to learn a little about the player before making comments on him. His weakness is he likes to stand in the pocket and throw the ball as he sets up, does not extend plays very well. But he does avoid sacks by getting rid of the ball, hence some accuracy issues. Check out his tape, a weak arm is not one of his issues.
Stoops : Can you hand the ball off to a running back?
QB Recruit: Yes i guess so.
Stoops: Great! How do you feel about starting next year?

Yeah arm strength is his greatest attribute. He throws a really good deep ball, and is good pocket passer. The lack of being a running threat is why I question the fit here.
The poster who stated "if you watched Duke this year, he has a weak arm", obviously didn't watch a single Duke game this year , LOL. He said it so matter of fact, and couldn't be more WRONG. Those type of posters are the ones I have issues with. I do not mind someone having a difference of opinion than mine, but not when it is not even close to being accurate or simply made up.
His literal highlight tape on YouTube is 2 mins of him throwing deep balls in game this year lol. I don’t know what the poster was watching then.
We have had such luck with portal QBs. If he chooses us, it will be less than an hour our board will have him winning the Heisman in 2025. If we get him and push aside our HS recruited QBs, we willbe unable to get a future HS QB to even visit UK. Why go to Kentucky and watch a portal QB play while recruits never get the opportunity to see the field. Not getting on the field seems to have a very negative impact on development.
That’s not true lol we have roster of nothing but freshman QBs. They have to get a veteran. Every schools takes transfer QBs. It doesn’t hurt anyone in recruiting lol. Also to be frank our HS qbs have all sucked and even when they left did nothing.
