Stoops on QB Room

It's definitely the deepest. The question remains if Vandagriff is the real deal or not.
I think Wimsatt was the insurance policy for that. Beau Allen to a lesser degree. When we brought in Levis, even though he was a backup for the most part, he did have a couple of starts under his belt and more substantial game action. Plus he was just head and shoulders above what we had backing him up. So he was a bit of a gamble in year one and we definitely lacked depth in the room. Leary was a known quantity. He didn't really require an insurance policy other than his injury history being a bit suspect. he was expected to be better than he turned out to be, and lack of depth bit us in the rear. They don't want a repeat of that.
 
No doubt this is our deepest. A 5* backed up by an elite athlete that started two years in a major conference. Then an extremely seasoned guy presumably behind those two. Rounded out by a highly regarded freshman.

That room alone is a good example of how much stoops and co elevated the talent at uk. It also highlights the unfortunate fact that gran, despite his genius, eventually held us back due to perception (and loyalty to hinshaw).

I guess the real question is how the depth chart really lays out. Obviously bg is 1. Im curious is gw is actually #2 or if they would rotate him with one of the other guys. Obviously he is an elite runner but curious if they are confident enough in his throwing. Guess we will see.

Rumor has it that Wimsatt has Wildcat packages built into the playbook. And Vandagriff is no slouch as a runner either. Could be interesting.

What is wild is that Brock will probably attempt more passes in his first game here than he did in his entire three-year career at Georgia, as he attempted twenty-one (21) passes during 2021-2023 seasons.
No doubt, will he have more completions also?
 
This is the question, just a guess but he is probably somewhere between a healthy Levis and Leary. Until proven otherwise I see him as a marginal upgrade over last season
Hope I see a different guy in BV than what I saw in his limited action at Georgia.
I thought he looked stiff and didn't get the ball out quick enough.
Hope those things have improved because he's not playing behind a Georgia level offensive line at UK.
IMO, you have to be able to improvise to be a successful QB at UK that's why I'm not counting out Wimsatt having a big impact on this season.
