Devin Leary visiting is a big deal, Hope Liam can be here in person for it

Tracking flights from LAX and John Wayne to CVG, Lexington, and SDF! Will let y’all know what I find!
Adding Leary would be an awesome step forward for this offense. His numbers are as good as anyone who has played QB at Kentucky in the past 20+ years and much better than most. Overall yardage, TD to INT ratio, everything is just stellar. He can make the short throws, the medium range passes or the deep bombs. He isn't a highly mobile QB but he can pick up some yards with his feet when he has to. And above all else, he simply takes care of the football.
Having a guy that can get accurate balls to Key, Brown and Tayvion while hitting Dingle/Kattus in play action/matchup scenarios....will more than offset running the ball with QB at times.
Imagine having this guy throwing to Robinson, Key, B. Brown, Crowdus, Dingle, Kattus, Cummings, Anderson, Porter, A. Brown, etc. I don't know about the rest of you, but I salivate just thinking about it.
Didn’t he tear his pectoral? Hope he still has that zing on the throws
Yep, that's my concern but I tell myself if UK offers they feel good about his recovery.
Is he back up to throwing speed?? I’m not familiar w his injury status/timeline.
If he’s back to 80+% then I’d imagine part of the visit will be a route tree to see what all the throws look like and if they pop out of the hand or show indication of regression

I actually believe he has MUCH MORE freedom to talk to kids since he has NO affiliation with UK YET. So, if the Rams are allowing him to do this, then he could talk to whoever he wants without restriction.
Is this correct or am I wrong????
I'm nervous man. I want this guy so bad for Kentucky football. Hope it's going well
He had the surgery in mid-October, so he's about 2 months into a 5-6 month recovery. So, probably not throwing at this point. I hope that if he signs with UK he'll be able to throw once it's time for Spring Practice.

MJ said on today's show"If Kentucky's not the leader, they're right there!"
Plus he has experience shredding Louisville.
Seems like there's a bit of risk with taking him. Who really knows what he'll be like when he's cleared to throw?
Imo coen participating via zoom or video call would be enough. You can tell he is a major closer when it comes to recruits.
Let's say UK signs Leary. I doubt Leary will be done with visits after this one, but let's say it happens. Does his injury history concern you? It concerns me. No doubt, he is a talent. In fact, he is one of just a few QBs in the portal who can "make all of the throws" so to speak. But if he signs with us and then goes down next September, then I sure hope we will have another QB to be next man up who is not on our current roster. Not dissing Sheron, just stating what I see with my eyes. Wade might end up being a good QB, but that is going to take some time.
This requires a bit of optimism, but I am hopeful our OL will be improved, especially if Horsey comes back. Looks like we are probably getting Marques Cox. With another offseason of prep, Burton and E. Cox should be much improved. Grant Bingham, Nik Hall, and Kiyaunta Goodwin should contribute in 2023. Others may feel differently, but I have not lost that expectation. Time and prep can fix such things. Anyway, Coen can't let our next QB take the number of hits Levis took this year.
Depth at QB is a concern. Leary has been very injury prone. His talent is not a question. But my question would be if Destin Wade will be ready to be next man up. I believe Coen's return will have an immediate impact on development and playing style. If Leary wants to play here, I am all for it. But can he stay healthy for 13 games? That would be something new for Leary.
So Leary comes to visit, but I gotta think our returnees show very well compared to Notre Dame.
If he can throw in March that is plenty of time. His booby will heal to 100% by September and that’s months of preparation with receivers, schemes, Coen, etc.
Yes, but can we have an OL that can keep him from running for his life the entire game?
I hadn’t seen anything or heard anything about the visit, I hope it went well then, kentucky adds him and the offense should be really good next year
I would say he is probably going to visit SCAR, auburn, Oregon, and Notre dame or atleast two of those teams
I think you got it. Who steps up and "show me the money". The way MJ talks we are still way behind with NIL. He saids it was 4 or 5 donor's that stepped up to save what we got now. Our AD and JMI need to stop thier bs and start helping.
