BB Recruiting Owensboro (Ky.) Daviess County WR Marquel Tinsley

[JRowland]

While Kentucky's 2019 recruiting class is off to a quality start one position where the Wildcats haven't landed any help is wide receiver. UK doesn't have any commitments at the position.

It's too early to tell how much of a target Owensboro (Ky.) Daviess County receiver Marquel Tinsley will become for the Cats, but it's clear he has the coaching staff's attention on some level.

With the numbers he has put up as a Soph. and Junior, I wonder why he isn't ranked higher ???

Shhhhh.. Let it be. Maybe Alabama won't offer him.

I would say his level of competition is a solid reason. I have watched him in person, and he doesn't seem very fast, although is sure handed. I witnessed a little white kid come from 5 yards behind and catch him. I got to see him in 3 games, and although I am no scout, he seemed only able to outrun and get seperation with slow, white DBs. But he can catch contested balls, which is good in my book. I mean, Fordham, Bowling Green, and Southern Illinois are the 3 schools most after him, that should tell ya something. I will trust Coach Smith though.

BG is a pretty good offer... Close to UK level.

Doesn't sound like there's any reason to rush and lock up his commitment. I'll trust the coaching staff's judgment on this one. If they offer him, fine, if not, that's OK too.

This. If we can't get in one of these better FL receivers, then we take him. But there is no rush to get this kid. If we want him, I am sure we can hop in late and get him over Fordham.

Just saying, as a white guy who routinely out ran and kept up with all of Louisvilles 6A not white talent growing up, being ran down by a white kid doesn’t automatically make him slow lol

 

[TuckyFB]

White people can be fast too. (i.e, Derek Abney)

Abney was 5’10 or 5’9 and 160-170 pounds. I think thats under the “little white kid” category and was First Team SEC twice.

AND a consensus All-American.

I'd prefer my SEC WRs to be able to outrun Hancock County HS's LB lol. Who I can tell you for a fact is not considered fast.

I also saw him play. Great HS player.

However........Those kids that got him are not going to be playing D1 ball.

 

[Aces Fan]

I have seen him play a few times and he is a very good player, probably one of the best WRs I have seen in this area in a long time but we don’t really get a lot of D1 talent in the Owensboro area.

The only question I have about him is how he will do against better competition. We just don’t have many kids in this area that can match up with his size and speed.

Got any eligibility left?

Just sayin'.

Actually I do lol but unfortunately my five years active duty weren’t enough to get accepted to the great University of Kentucky.

If so, keep applying and make some phone calls.

dallassg23, your five years active duty was better then any football game. Thanks for your service.

OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

And that is kinda the same reason guys from Alcorn St. are in the NFL...
I say, leave it to the coaches to make that determination... They (the coaches) live off their evaluations... We (The Fan) just get “likes” on opinion...

Are you an alumni of their program? I can't see any other reason for that post.

Thank you! Appreciate it!

 

[shutzhund]

The fact that he can catch a football should make him a priority. We don't have a lot of those guys.
