Where could AJR go that would be better than UK at this time. He's going to get his touches.
Transfer Portal
- Thread starter Pelosigalore
- Start date
Anywhere in the ACC where the exposure is relatively high and the competition rather weak and overrated.
There ya go, assuming again....... and I don't eat Wheaties.... and don't call me Shirley.
Not attacking him but for the good of him, he should strongly consider it. None of us are experts but the guys we have in Smoke and Rodriquez, throw in Tisdale and the dudes we’ve signed this year, we are in great shape in the RB position.
Lots of places. I would have to sit down and look at specific rosters to give the best answer. But there are lots of schools in the west that could use him plenty of Pac-12 schools, Boise State, or BYU.
Regardless of how many times folks use Drew Brees or Russell Wilson in a sentence, the truth still remains that shorter QBs are at a disadvantage that has to be overcome some how in order to succeed at this level. Who knows, Scalzo could become the starter or even all SEC someday but the odds are greatly against it, and now that he has chronic injury history it makes it tougher on the coaches to roll with him. The way we use QBs you have to be physically stout to stand up to all the contact.
I agree as a former 5-10 athlete its tough being small.. you better have some extreme wheels. There are always exceptions to the rule but mostly its true.
Did Reid Travis pave the way for a Stanford grad transfer to UK?
Drew Brees. Doug Flutie. Kyler Murray, Russel Wilson....................lol
We've not seen Scalzo yet, so I think he gets a pass at this point. Gilmore and Wood couldn't be used when we had no QB = they should both transfer, as they will NOT play at UK.
According to Roster on his site, Wilson is a Junior, and Smith is a Senior, meaning he is gone and not part of team next season. Personally, I thought he had 2 years left when he got here.
Size is really not an indicator of QB performance. Posters here lose sight of the fact that all the names being put forth are NFL greats, and we don't even provide a full listing of that, leaving Fran Tarkenton, Jim Mcmahan, Michael Vick, Sonny Jorgenson, Dave Kreig, Jim Zorn. etc. and on and on and on off that list.....Get into the college ranks of great college QB's and that list grows exponentially = you folks don't really want to go there. Fact of the matter is at the college level, effectiveness of a QB is least determined by their Height.................Scalzo's height is a NON-factor here, period. Coaches at UK would be well served to re-evaluate their evaluation criteria, so they put PASSING ability as THE number one criteria. Even in our run-heavy scheme, if you don't possess a true threat of the CONSISTENT pass, you first off are not going to win the big games, and secondly, you'll lose to teams that can stop the run, which is those that typicaly are playing for championships........Sound familiar? ; )
It was my understanding that the medical redshirt had to come in after using a normal redshirt. I may be wrong, so don't hold me to that. Thankfully I didn't have to do that crazy process.
My understanding is that if he got hurt again, this season’s injury would be considered for a 6th year determination.
I think Smith has one more year of eligibility. He RSed at Troy, played two years, and then transferred as a grad transfer with 2 years to play.
I think in the pros it takes a very special person at that size to succeed but in college there are QBs that size that are productive and have very good college careers every year. Night and day differences in pros and college games.
Agree about the wheels but there are some guys who are so quick they become nearly invisible.
Generally speaking, it takes two medical RS years to get 6th season. Non-medical RS is voluntary & gets you no consideration for 6th year.
My reaction to that is the issue is primarily the one of vision. Short QBs can't see over the taller linemen without making some sort of adjustments. Are college lineman really that much shorter, if any than pros? I would think at the upper levels of P5 teams there would not be much of any difference.
I would say that QB college play is different then the pros. The plays some college QBs make would never work in the pros over and over. And the scrambling that college QBs do is way greater then the pros since team owners probably don’t want to see their QBs injured all the time.
Per a recent change in the guidelines, a redshirt taken in a player's first year is now considered "beyond a player's control". Thus a player who is redshirted his first year and misses a later year due to a medical could get a sixth year.

Per KSR, Knight-Goff has entered the portal. And there I thought he had decided to quit football? Hmm.
NCAA's website supports what you said. Just want to say that's a really good catch on your part

So, we should get a sixth year for Hoskins.
Boy didn't see that one coming....
Exactly. U6 has been tampering. I'm glad the Weaver family was smarter.
I don’t think any QB’s enter the portal this year outside if maybe Gilmore, Gatewood may not be a factor until 2021. Next year is still a bit up in the air depending on if TW has any setbacks and if Gatewood doesn’t get his waiver.
Somebody that would know has told me the Louisville kids are under constant , intense pressure to transfer to U6 . There is always someone in there ear and sending texts . Mostly " homeboys" from their community but also some people with connections to their program . The U6 coaches are using " back channels" and not contacting the players directly , but they are encouraging it .
It's the use of what some call "street agents." Should be investigated and the U6s/Miamis of the world, where this stuff started, should be prohibited from these activities and required to disassociate from the universities.
