The few minutes I got to listen to KSR today, Matt Jones said his sources were saying that right now Kentucky seems to be in good shape with Zachary Evans.
I don't think this is true. He signed his LOI in Dec with UGA, then got released. I don't think you can sign two. He committed to TCU, very late, prob may, after he couldn't make a decision and a few teams dropped out after signing others
It's Evans and he is quoted yesterday petitioning for TCU to hire Deion. Some sources say he's in the portal others say he is still with the team. Probably depends on who they hire if he leaves. I'd say it's a very long shot he transfers to UK
The kid committed to 3 different schools while in high school. Unless he is TOTALLY bought in, why bring him here?
I hope UK goes after Safety Joseph Charleston. He's transferring from Clemson.
McClain broke more tackles in one run than smoke has in his career. Plus he has much better vision and wiggle.
Smoke is great if he just gets to run to a hole because he lacks vision. That's why he so often just runs right into a defender. Unfortunately a zone scheme needs vision especially an eye for cutback lanes. He just doesn't have it.
We lose 15 seniors and possibly a couple of juniors and the obvious attrition, so, I think we're going to hitting the portal hard this offseason.
I appreciate Smoke for being at UK but he's a 7-10 carry/game guy at most, could never be used like CRod/Snell...he just doesn't have the stamina/skill to be a featured back. I've been hoping to see more of McClain, glad he's contributing and expect to see more of him moving forward. Spring will be a very important time for Drennen, Davis and Wright.
McLain is gonna be good
5'9 180...you are not going to be a feature back in the sec at that size in a heavy run first offense.
I expect next year's offense to be build around Levis. Yes they will still run the ball a lot, but it will probably be coming from multiple Backs and not a featured back like Crod who can take 20-25 carries a game!
Smoke is prolly a lesser version of AJ Rose and similar to Rose he’s a lot better than we make him out to be.
Looks like ESPN needs to update their measurements because he's way thicker than that. No matter the measurements, he broke more tackles in one run than smoke will in 4 years
Rose ended one of the top all time rushers at UK. Even in limited carries, he often rushed for over 100 yards and was durable.
Absolutely. But I think he's too small to be an every down back. I'd much rather see him out there than Smoke.
I think Smoke is a great change of pace back, and I really wish UK would feature him in the passing game more. I think that is where he could be more special. Get him in space more so he can make people miss and use his speed. I think that if Levis could hit the swing pass then that would probably happen more, but Levis has struggled with that this year.
Yeah, Levis missed Smoke Sat on a swing. I think that role will eventually go to McClain.
Yahoo has an article about the transfer portal and 6 guys that would help Texas. It’s a good read and I wish we would get in on some of those guys. This is on the Yahoo home page.
Zack Evans had a wild recruitment. During his Sr season he was dismissed from his HS team for some reason we were never told. He wanted to come to UGA and Kirby gave him a list of expectations he had to meet. He some how was reinstated to his high school team, met the requirements Kirby put down and actually signed his first LOI to UGA on the last day for early signing period. The Texas state championship took place that weekend, his coach had a no cell phone rule on the bus/trip I can't remember which exactly. Anyway coach demanded the phone, ZE refused to turn it over, a loud verbal and near physical confrontation took place. Coach sent him home, UGA didn't submit his LOI which is like he never signed it. He looked at places including the vols and Gators with both fanbases thinking he was coming. Landed at TCU and hasn't had any issues I am aware of. Has done pretty well there both on and off the field. I think the farther away from home he gets is probably best for him. But he is NFL bound after the 22 season and a high reward type of guy with some risk in the equation.
But an outstanding talent, enough for UGA to pass on Tank Bigsby to sign.
Well except Crod is leaning toward coming back next year. He will have another 1000 plus yard season. Levis will also take another huge step and be one of the top QB's in the nation statistically next year with the added weapons we will have. We will have a very diverse offense.
