This player is from PA, wonder if there's a Coen/Woodward connection there? He's an outstanding QB, big guy too.
From Connecticut, three year starter. I’d imagine Coen knows all about this guy and he’s exactly what we need.This is the guy I want at Qb
Miami QB Van Dyke in portal, eyes 'next chapter'
Miami quarterback Tyler Van Dyke has entered the transfer portal, he confirmed Monday night in a social media post.www.espn.com
Missed time this year with a shoulder injury, that's a red flag. Early list of likely suitors didn't have UK listed as a destination.From Connecticut, three year starter. I’d imagine Coen knows all about this guy and he’s exactly what we need.
Interesting guy..... top 25 QB in terms of QB rating.. 6-5, 240... If he had a levis attitude he would be putting some hurt on some secondary dudes.This player is from PA, wonder if there's a Coen/Woodward connection there? He's an outstanding QB, big guy too.
I did not like losing Justin Rogers. Also, Ja’Kobi Albert. Looks like Albert RSed this year at MSU. Time will tell whether he could have been a key contributor. Same with Goodwin.The portal is becoming more important than HS recruiting....we've done pretty well so far, haven't lost anyone that really mattered and have picked up guys like Levis, Wandale, Leary and other key contributors. This year we'll have to defend Barion, Key, Deone and others. Interesting times for sure.
Landing Rogers would tend to make me think they’re serious about going that direction.
Great arm? I think he has a very average arm, has never played in anything but a spread offense. Don't think he would be the answer you are looking for.
This generation has NIL. I doubt transferring was as rampant prior to NCAA transfer rules. NIL makes it far more enticing.The transfer numbers are not that different from what they were in the early decades of college sports. Athletes in the early 20th century were transferring frequently, with many of them playing for multiple different schools over their career.
The reason transfer numbers came down has nothing to do with generational differences. It was entirely due to the universities banding together to pass rules that made transferring more difficult, and a much less attractive option for athletes.
Today, with the rule changes, kids are presented with a high number of opportunities, they are in demand and thus have leverage, and the switching costs are low. Over all of human history, when people are presented with that type of scenario, lots of people will choose to jump from opportunity to opportunity.
It has nothing to do with this generation of athletes. They’re simply behaving the way humans have always behaved.
I take Rogers over Van Dyke all day. There are reasons why he continuously was benched over his career after being named the starter.This is the guy I want at Qb

The K-State kid is a hard nosed kid.Interesting guy..... top 25 QB in terms of QB rating.. 6-5, 240... If he had a levis attitude he would be putting some hurt on some secondary dudes.
probably not - some rando I stumbled acrossIs that a good source? Sure sounds like specific info but I'm not familiar with that account

He's a 2024 prospect, he's not in the portal, he's just reopened his HS recruitment.
Numbers indicate he throws a lot of picks. sure that's what we want?From Connecticut, three year starter. I’d imagine Coen knows all about this guy and he’s exactly what we need.
Yeah, let's please bring in somebody who's healthy without a lengthy injury history.Missed time this year with a shoulder injury, that's a red flag. Early list of likely suitors didn't have UK listed as a destination.

I mean, we'd have to look back 2-3 yrs at qbs we recruited who were initially receptive. Wimsatt does come to mind. Malachi Nelson at USC??
I disagree. This generation doesn't get told "no", doesn't feel that it has to work for things, expects that the world will bow to their wishes, and are permanent victims. It's not their fault. It is what they have been taught, At some point, the pendulum has to swing back but it hasn't yet. I can't imagine being a teacher in an environment where you have to put up with disrespect and disruption.No it isn’t. Kids today transfer because they are offered the opportunity to play more, play for a better team, earn more money, etc.
Those are the exact same reasons that people were transferring in the 1920s and 1930s.
Human nature today is the same as human nature then.
That is certainly true, just like they keep increasing tuition so they can have bloated administrations in universities now.Yep. They just at some point started punishing the athletes while the coaches could do it without a second thought.
Can't really take it seriously. Made was typed out for mad.
Not true.NIL is no different than what schools were paying the athletes back then.
That would be my guess. Looking at his numbers, I would pass on him. Reportedly a great kid. Seems like an awesome competitor, but he is inconsistent and, while a dual threat, not a Lynn Bowden, more a Will Levis.Gavin Wimsatt???

It is true. It doesn’t matter if it’s “NIL” from a collective or cash directly from the university.Not true.
yeah, but just not sure why he would be somebody that would "make some fans in the SEC mad." Could it be Graham Mertz? Doesn't he have another year left?That would be my guess. Looking at his numbers, I would pass on him. Reportedly a great kid. Seems like an awesome competitor, but he is inconsistent and, while a dual threat, not a Lynn Bowden, more a Will Levis.
IMO Gavin Wimsatt is a slightly improved version of Morgan Newton. Pass.Gavin Wimsatt???
Dude....there was paying of players back in the day...but not to the tune of millions and not like 50k per starter (as is reported at Notre Dame).It is true. It doesn’t matter if it’s “NIL” from a collective or cash directly from the university.
In both cases, you’re offering compensation to a prospective student athlete for the purpose of inducing the athlete to play for your team.
Fundamentally, they’re the same thing for the same purpose. The only difference is what they’re called and the route the money takes before flowing into the athletes pocket.
Today’s “NIL” is the same thing that was happening during the first several decades of college athletics, and it was just as rampant back then as it is today.
I didn't say anything about wanting him, I was just speculating on who the player could be, but the "make some SEC fans mad" comment leads me to believe Mertz may be the one being rumored since we thought he was coming here at one point before Leary jumped in.IMO Gavin Wimsatt is a slightly improved version of Morgan Newton. Pass.
Were either of those rumored to be coming here at some point previously?I guess it would make some SEC fans mad if we got Vandergriff? Or Ty Simpson? Not sure how mad since no one knows how either would actually do as a starting qb, lol.
Love trying to figure details in intentionally vague predictions!!!
Gavin Wimsatt was not highly wanted by Coen...and for good reason.IMO Gavin Wimsatt is a slightly improved version of Morgan Newton. Pass.
