Who will take Levis place next year?

Whoever it is probably isn't on the roster right now. I think we can/will attract someone who can throw the ball pretty well since we have several guys who can catch the ball returning. We will likely have a new OC and O-line coach
 
Destin Wade or transfer. If it’s Sheron we are in big trouble. This is off topic but where has Keaton Upshaw been the last few weeks. I haven’t seen him the last couple of games.
Is Sheron gonna be the guy? Transfer portal? Beau comes back? Thoughts

Me, I have eligibility. Im going to pull a Blanda or a Brady if you will; Ill see to it.
 
Yes, transfer portal

And not a grad transfer like Levis who won't be here until June '23. We need someone on campus, in January, getting ready for Spring practices.

He threw it 27 times in that game.
Yes but about 25 of them were laterals or behind the line of scrimmage. I knew that would be the game plan going in so I imagine USC’s staff knew that as well. We had 7 points until the end of the game when USC went prevent and Sheron completed a few passes. He finished with 178 yards but he had less than 100 before the last drive. Don’t be fooled by the end numbers. His body of work that game will not get it done against SEC defenses not named Vandy.
 
The way some fans talk it won’t matter because Levis sucks and we’ll find someone better.

of course most of them are the same ones that want to build Stoops a statue so….

He's a RS Fr. in his first start. "Body of work"? Good grief he has no body of work yet
 
We will find someone good. Developing Levi’s will make it easier to find someone.
 
Have to be careful about the portal, though. If UK gets the rep for always looking for a portal QB, it will be extremely hard to convince good HS QB to come here. We may have to look there but if that's the MO going forward, good luck convincing HS Srs to come to UK only to have an outsider come in every year to start.

Might also make WR recruits hesitant as they'd never know who would be throwing to them from year to year.
 
If he is I hope they trust him to throw a forward pass next year. They certainly don't trust him right now and gabe away the South Carolina game.
Yes, but have you improved with age, and are you between the ages of 40 to 60?

Allen will not be back. Sheron has some arm talent but is not near being ready to start. By process of elimination, next year's starting QB will have to come from the portal, and there has already been a fair amount of smoke about possibilities that might have Coach Scan's attention.

And before anyone gets their hopes up about Scan leaving, he has a lucrative multiyear contract at UK. That doesn't mean it can't be done. But 4 OCs in 4 years is a really bad look and a huge problem for player development. More likely, the program might hire a more experienced OL coach.

And, please god, hire an experienced special teams coach. That could mean demoting Buffano back to an off-field job to make room on the staff, but it really has to be done. Buffalo hasn't recruited anyone since his promotion, and Coach Collins can handle the entire secondary with just a little help with the safeties by Mark Stoops.

I think there's a 50-50 chance Stoops gone after this season.
You don't have a quarterback.
you'll be starting over.

Gone.

And then we should try to go after Hugh Freeze
 
They keep talking about how good Wade is going to be, if so shouldn't he have backed up Levis by now?
They could be just trying to protect him to maintain his RS year and prevent this horrible OL from getting him killed and losing his confidence before he is physically and mentally ready to play in the SEC.
