Former Oklahoma starting QB Knight is transferring. Any chance that we may be looking for QB depth? Think Bob may suggest to Knight that we need bodies at QB and may have a good shot at starting?

There could be a tie in there, and it certainly wouldn't hurt even if he only provided depth and a little competition.

More interesting (to me) is that Kyle Murray is rumored to be transferring to OU, and whether that would have any effect on Austin Kendall.

Do you honestly believe anyone will want to come here to Kentucky in the shape our program is in?
I'm shocked that we haven't lost all recruits for next year including a mass exodus from the current members.
No way in hell do we get that kid unless we blue chip his pockets with cash and a john Deere tractor for his pappi

The only reason I say we might have a chance is because of the Bob Stoops connection. If Knight is leaving on good terms with OU and is simply looking for more playing time, then we might be a viable option. Barker certainly isn't written in stone.

I think it's Kyle Allen former Texas A&M QB that said he would be interested in the Sooners, if they reached out.

Staff definitely needs to keep their eyes and ears open...it's that time of year...

in addition to the P5 QBs that have been discussed there will probably be some solid FCS QBs that join the part...

Montana St has a really good productive QB that is looking to play a fifth year some where...though I think some heavy hitters are in the running for him...

Ole Miss has a sophomore QB transferring...Devante Kincade

Bama has a WR that is transferring...Chris Black...was a 4* in 2012 but hasn't really had a chance to shine with all the talent they've had at the position...

UGA is QB heavy...one of them may bounce now with a coaching change...

Maybe one of the Texas QBs looks for greener pastures and more playing time...

we need as much help as we can get but I keep saying this we need to establish and Identity as a program and on offense, if we have an identity then its possible to pick up someone but does anyone know what we are supposed to be?

UGA has 2 qbs on scholarship, and one of them may leave, or he may be happy being a punter, but we are not qb heavy. Word is we are looking to take 2 in this class just to have correct numbers.

LOL.

Well, we currently have 22 commits, four of them four stars, and a lot of other very talented AND under rated members, and the last I checked they are all still committed. And when we did lose several commits last year we added players like Baity, Bell, Allen, Miggins, King, Westry, etc etc that I am very happy with-----and more important, the coaches also seem happy with them, several playing a lot in their first year.

And Grumpy, isn't the QB you mentioned the one that almost threw a perfect game in his first start, or do I have the names mixed up.

Wasn't the first game, 2nd or 3rd I can't remember which, but against USC. USC played about 12 yards off our WR and every pass was a WR screen or a quick slant, they never adjusted at all. After that it was all downhill, teams lined up in our face and he couldn't or wouldn't throw into a tight window. I think we may have thrown less than 20 passes 20 yards downfield all year. And he may start in 16, hopefully he doesn't, maybe they can go over to the intramurel field and bring some frat guy in to play if thats the case.

I don't know that we'd have any chance at all of getting him, but if he is leaving OU, I'd certainly take him if I could. Knight may have lost the starting job to Baker Mayfield, but he isn't what I would consider to be OU's leftover table scraps by any means. Knight was the MVP of the 2014 Sugar Bowl during OU's 45-13 upset win over Alabama. The guy is a very good QB who lost his spot to a phenomenal QB. I wish we could have had Knight this season!

Thanks for quoting my post, which seems to have disappeared from the thread, I have no idea what was said that would deserve censorship, maybe someone can enlighten me. Happens fairly often, with no notice.

Also thanks for the explanation, after seeing his completion percentage for that game I couldn't imagine what happened to cause him to fall into disfavor.

Last year UK landed Love, Hart, Laster & M Jones as transfers. Wouldn't surprise me if they picked up 1 or 2 this year.

We need someone to come in and challenge for the QB spot, other than needing a change there was no reason to start Barker over Towles.If this coaching staff is going to make a serious run at being better next year they are going to haveto find one

Better still do you think the HC knows what HE WANTS us to be..I sure don't think he does
