This. Coaches can only do so much. Our nutrition and s&c program has more than proven it's effectiveness.
It's all on him. To the staff's credit, they didn't cave to the pressure and play him to satisfy him

Getting destroyed in practice means the same thing in real games.
There is a reason he didn’t get real game time snaps outside of special teams.
Some people are clueless.
Idk KG couldn’t even get it done on FG. Don’t think he was anywhere near ready to play
It ain't no wonder if he showed up to the visit looking like he did in that photo from last night. The best thing this kid can do is return to UK, get serious about his workouts and diet and realize that he's much more a project at this stage than a superstar. He has potential. But right now that potential is unrealized. If he doesn't get his head on straight and put forth the effort, he'll be Matt Elam 2.0.

You can't help but being anything else playing for Howard Schnellenberger.
We scored 21 on a pretty awful vsndy D.
We scored 6 on a great UGA D but again …6 pts
UL had what four TOs. On of which we put on the three yard line and the offense proceeded to go backwards for a FG. And In that game we were setting for fg in a game that should have been a blow out
If we keep Yenser based upon Coen desire. He deserves to make that call this year. But please stop with the offense turned a corner and the Oline was not that bad down the stretch….the offense went from worst P5 offense to well below average late in year. Nothing I’d say was worth keeping guys that were part of that unit
IIRC it was said he came in with a new attitude, lost a lot of weight and reshaped his body. Guess that didn't last.
He looked athletic in his senior year of high school when he was around 330, but I'm guessing that was 70+ lbs ago.
OL cant throw and run. The OL as a unit played really well last two games. Anyone who denies that just has an agenda.
OL played well vs vandy too. We ran the ball at will second half. We couldn't stop the run and QB couldn't complete a pass. Neither of those have anything to do with the ol
So if they are blocking we’ll are saying crod didn’t run well?
You make up crap to support an argument. We scored 21 vs vandy…who gave up 50s to Tennessee and their backup Qb
Point blank. We had a terrible Oline. Why are we trying to put lipstick on this pig now?
Not really, but that's just an opinion. The You g jid from 2-3 years ago looked athletic and agile at 330, Goodwin looked sloppy and awkward at 330, if that was his weight. He looked heavier to me..
No, he looked pretty athletic at 330 in the highlight clip I saw. That said, I'd never try to evaluate any given player based on a Hudl clip alone because it only gives you a fraction of what you'd like to see. Is/was he a project? Absodamnloutely. Just like the overwhelming majority of true freshmen are, especially linemen. Even if he had come into camp in great shape, I still didn't expect him to play much because there is a steep step in competition and learning curve. Right now, Goodwin's biggest obstacle is his weight. Until he gets a handle on that, nothing else will matter.
When you have a lifetime contract, your team doesn't have to actually win games against good teams, obviously.
Yet, somehow, we are still a basketball school. Just ask Cal.
And Mitch.
I suspect we never really hear from KG again. What a shame.
Not certain why you would associate Barnhart with Cal's basketball school comment after Barnhart spoke up against it. Not certain why it is being discussed on our football board. This is clearly a week to discuss football.
I'd expect U6 to take him just to tweak UK's nose. Not sure I believe they'd turn him down.
Matt said on the radio show this morning there were rumors Goodwin could return. Have to wait and see if true.
This rumor/statement originated from the Addias employee that is bankrolling the UL recruiting class . As strange as it sounds, he actually posts on the UL sports forum. It would surprise me for them to turn down a former 5 star recruit from UK just for the optics of it . ESPECIALLY since they are making it a priority to lock down Chris Vaughn and the Aspirations Gym as a UL feeder system.
Walker was the big get on defense about the same time we landed Goodwin. By mid-season, Walker was getting a majority of the snaps on the D-Line. In two years, I think it likely Walker is a high draft pick. He may be the best recruit in last year’s amazing class. The trajectory of these two big men is no longer aligned.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Practice is completely different than an actual game and so many people get missed because they don't produce good enough in practice. Joe Borrow obviously didn't practice the greatest and how did that work out?
That’s the rub . Evidently the kid hasn’t got the drive or discipline to stay in shape and eat right without Chris Vaughn looking over his shoulder at all times . I used to be friends with a trainer on the UK football staff and there’s only so much a team trainer can do . The kids gotta want it.

Training staff has to much **** to do than go around 24/7 hold 85 guys hands and keep them from jamming large pizzas or $20 of McDonald's down their throats
Actually it’s not . He’s a kid with very little self discipline, low self esteem, and in need of a person to guide him . He would be in big trouble without Chris Vaughn OR someone like him .

Goes back a long time, remember Dinner Bell Mel Turpin??
Think he had somebody watching him constantly. Miss ya big fella!
Heard that u6 is not interested in Goodwin. We've done well with OL in the pros recently. Maybe Vaughn kicks him in the rear and he'll listen...Naz Mohammed needs to speak to this young man. A perfect example of what grit and determination will get you.
Was this not the dude who played DT but wanted to play OT?
Think maybe we can swap him to the D line?

Way off topic...remember a guy from LSU named John "Hot Plate" Williams? 6'8" G/F who went over 300 pounds, ate himself out of the NBA. Played for Seattle at a time when they wore bright green uniforms. One NBA writer said he "looks like a putting green!"
Wouldn't surprise me. He's in awful shape and I'm guessing his practice film is....not good at all.
I suspect he has literally no other choice.
He can come home and get his act together.
And it would be a great story if he did.
