it’s not often i hear stuff from reliable people involved with UK football, but yesterday i did hear from the same person that tipped me off last Spring/Summer that the staff had real questions/concerns about BVG.
Fast forward to today, QB is still the main issue at UK. While Hamdan likes Boley, he isn’t even close to being convinced that he’s ready to be QB1 by next Fall, thus UK is attempting to recruit a starting QB from the portal. They’re having to tread lightly and attempt to find a guy with only year 1 of eligibility left as to not spook Boley into portaling himself.
As for Boley, the general feeling is the Texas second half was an anomaly. Remember, just a few weeks prior UK was telling Jrow that the plan for 2025 was to go all-in on building around BVG. That was 100% true because they still viewed BVG as much more advanced and ready than Boley. Boley hadn’t shown signs of consistency in practice. However, UK needed a spark both on the field and off the field from a PR perspective. The second half of the Texas game with Boley gave them some cover.
Long story short - UK still lacks a QB1. Whoever they sign from the portal is being brought in to be QB1.
