Rosenthal to the NFL

Hasn't been a good day for UK football
I've been thinking that the LSU to UK pipeline has just been a stop gap. I don't really see that being a long-term thing. I do think that it highlights the difference in culture between the two programs, though.
Frustrating because it would have been mutually beneficial for both Rosenthal and UK had he stayed one more year. Best of luck to him but we saw our lack of depth at the LT position in the Citrus bowl. Hopefully someone will enter the portal either soon or after spring ball because there are not a ton of great options for tackle currently in the portal.
As expected. No doubt the plan all along, Stoops the least surprised
And personally I'm fine with any LSU guys coming here as 1 & done

Hope Goodwin is ready right away, OL looking thin on tackles.
If he gets drafted he will be cut. Could’ve gotten an NIL deal and made more here.
We only got 4 portal slots left and it looks like 1 receiver, 2 DBs, and now 1 LT will fill those spots out.
It hasn’t, but we had a lot of good days leading up to this one.
Best of fortunes to Dare Rosenthal! Thank you for lending us your talents and putting in the hard work this fall!
Days like today reminds you why this program will never be a big one😡
He was far from average. Especially on pass protection. He was the BEST LT we had on the team and it wasn't even close.
Even better than DK at LT. This is a huge loss for the O line and Will Levis.
6 sacks against freaking Iowa without him in the lineup. . Someone better be spending a lot of time with Goodwin getting him ready to play early or we will see a lot of CRod off tackle runs this year and a lot of QB scrambles.

This!!! Thank you Dare for giving us a great year of service at LT. Always a Wildcat!!
Because we’re losing players to the draft? Honestly that’s the complete opposite actually.
Definitely a big loss, but hey we got plenty of time to figure it out. If I recall Dare was a summer addition anyway
I guarantee they prob have a couple of guys in mind in the portal or who haven’t even entered the portal, they will get a stud, no worries!
Huh? The more kids UK can put in the NFL, the better it is. I assume Dare got an NFL evaluation that told him he would get drafted at some point. And we don’t know his situation…so wish him well. He contributed greatly to one of UK’s best ever seasons.
If your not losing guys to the draft early you don’t have much nfl talent. The teams ranked ahead of us lose more than us consistently. No unexpected early draft entries and several key super senior returns if your complaining what we bring back you have unreasonable expectations.
Indeed. Alabama never ever has guys leave early. Or Georgia. Or Ohio st. Or Clemson. Or Oklahoma.
Nope, early draft entries are a symptom of a program that will never be a big one, so so sad......
Does the NCAA even look at graduation rates and grades any more? Is that still a thing?
If he does not get invited to the combine, this could be true. If he gets an invite, he could wow some scouts with his reputed athleticism.
They can use Dare’s example as a selling point to high level portal recruits…UK is your pathway to a better draft position…we’ll be fine

LOL…. Put that dude on ignore already…. You’ll be glad you did.
My take is that both he and the program would be better served if he were to come back for 2022. But-he’s made his decision and I respect it. Good luck to him.
I wish him the best for sure but think he's hoping they draft on potential and athleticism. Wasnt a top lineman IMO YET, but he does have the physical skills to be one and they put a lot of stock in that in the NFL thinking they can develop the rest.
I was really hoping he would come back for one more season and hold down the LT position and work on his fundamentals. Best of luck to him and I hope he has a long career in the NFL.
APR is still a thing. Not an expert, but isn't that just measuring kids on the team passing classes & making reasonable progress towards graduation? But not necessarily actually graduating?
So, UK shouldn't be penalized by Wan'dale & Dare leaving early as long as their fall 2021 grades were good
