Should UK go after another portal QB, this is my choice. Mendoza played at Cal, completed 68% of his passes for 3000+ yards(a reminder that UK hasn't had a 3000 yd passer since Hartline 15 years ago), 16 TDs, 6 INTs which doesn't knock your socks off but to watch this guy play is a treat. He's 6'5", probably 220, a RS Jr from Miami whose only offer out of HS was....Yale. He seems to be a great leader, commands the huddle, excellent teammate, hard-nosed who can run but has a really good arm. UK has thought to have offered his #1 WR, think his name is Hunter. Being from Miami makes one think they would have the inside track but there may be some left over hard feelings from his HS days. Anyway, the guy went in the portal Wed, 12/11. Fall back option would be Calzada.
QB Fernando Mendoza

Can he run for his life 1 second after the snap and still read the field while being grabbed by defenders?
I liked the enthusiasm with which he played, thought he was really a good leader. Surprisingly good athlete.
He was sacked 41 times this year, so he's used to it lol
Don't know but thought they were chasing the ex-USC QB who was benched midyear.
He is the guy UGA is going after but I suspect he ends up in Miami.
Miami would make sense, it's his hometown but as I said above, he was ignored by local schools coming out of HS so maybe that could factor in.
A chance if there are some hurt feelings I guess but I don't know if the staff there now is the one that passes on him coming out of HS.
I never said UK offered IF he's in the portal(he is), I said he's my choice if we lived in a perfect world and could buy anybody we wanted. Have seen nothing to indicate UK is offering another QB, much less Mendoza.
This is Gold Jerry, Gold.
For those that don’t know, the Mendoza line in baseball is a .200 average.
Do we even know what QBs UK has contacted in the portal?
Kind of a different topic but still a bit odd to me Brock hasn't entered the portal yet. I wonder if maybe his injury has something to do with not hitting the portal yet?
