As I said, we'll see
Looks like FSU and WVU have offered, though, and Auburn is recruiting him
2018 is a long way off. I'll believe he's ours when he signs

That's what my brain is telling me, but I'm going to let myself get excited.
Nothing wrong with optimism and excitement. I mean, it's better to have him say yes than no. I am just conditioned and don't want any more disappointment in my life right now if possible haha
I admire the tenacity of Stoops recruiting...they cant all jump ship
When you think of athletic quarterbacks it's hard to come up with any names. Shane Boyd was pretty good but he wasn't really a true duel threat IMO. Randall Cobb as a part time QB that started a few games. Andre Woodson ran the ball a little bit but he really wasn't a DT either. I guess you could throw in Pokie Jones too, but I would have to say Derrick Ramsey would be the last really talented true duel threat QB that we have had here.
I'd rather see us get one in 2017 and hold on to Williams in '18. No disrespect to Walker Wood but I don't think he's an SEC caliber QB.
Just because they were black doesn't make them dual threat. Towles was a much better runner than Woodson even though that moron Dawson wouldn't let him run.
You bet against us. That's cool. I see progress. And there are plenty of other coaches to mention other than Bobby P.
Stay this way. Even when uk makes head ways this season.
...the best parties i ever went to usually didn't start early...
Let's not forget about Gunnar Hoak who will be battling to be Barker's heir apparant before these guys hit campus.
Everyone will believe it when he signs. LOL
Pulley was a decent athlete. Too bad it ended the way it did with him.
Hard to list Ramsey as a dual threat. Very rarely did Ramsey pass, he ran the option or just a student body right or left. On obvious passing downs I can remember I believe randy Jenkins coming in on third and long.
Listing Ramsey as a duel threat is like saying couch was a duel threat as the other side of the spectrum, but I like where your head is.

Well, don't think it is possible but I think I would like to bet on him staying, I think 16 and 17 show steady improvement, in fact I think our offense really takes off in 17------ no matter who commits or decommits. We are going to have some great skill players in 17, a fourth year 5.9 QB, and an OL that will average over a four star even if we don't get Wills------unless some underrated vet makes us even better------and if we do get him over a 5.940-------I think most Bama NCs haven't averaged that high for starters on the OL.
And if he does decommit, some of you didn't think we would ever get over Jonesy
In Joker's first year we started more two stars than three stars, with two walkons offsetting the two four stars. This isn't the same team folks, and recruits can see that they are joining a team that can support them, especially QBs..

I understand that your negativity is not because you don't care but is instead because you are afraid to get your hopes up, but your reasoning is wrong . Surely you understand that whether a recruit sticks or not commitments matter in the recruiting game because in the game of recruiting momentum is as real as it is in games themselves. It does matter and it is a real good thing to get a commit over FSU anytime period, and the effect is real for attracting other recruits. And your 50/50 prediction is just dead wrong. Surely you know that the percentage of commits who stick is much higher than that, over 80%.
I think you and others are simply falling victim to letting the "latest" thing (decommits)frame your whole attitude about things. Glad Stoops and Co don't do that. Great comeback guys.
Curtis Pulley and Shane Boyd were two exceptionally gifted athletes. I think people around forget just how bad UK was when Boyd played QB. That was when things were really bad because of probation. He had zero weapons and zero offensive line. He actually played in the NFL about the same number of years as Couch.
Wow. This welcome party turns into another backhanded slap at our team and coaches. I'm tired of this relentless attack by half our fan base.
Welcome to being a CAT!!!!! Can't wait to see you help us compete for a championship!!!!

I wouldn't call it negativity when we flip players, too. Regardless of team, commitment doesn't mean very much
Derrick Ramsey wasn't a QB. Could hardly throw the ball. Great athlete & runner.
Antonio O'Ferrall? Billy Jack Haskins?
Sorry guys, but the name Shane Boyd and the words pretty good QB do not belong in the same sentence.
How many wins over superior teams did Boyd lead us to? I know it was the probation years but "pretty good QBs" should be able to pull off an upset or two. That is what pretty good QBs do.

'18 is a long way off. If UK has success in '16 and '17 lead recruiter Hinshaw likely gets an OC or HC job. What effect would that have?
It's never a bad thing to have early commits.
I think think it draws attention to the program in a positive way. It doesn't always work out but it's not going to hurt us right now. I think it's good news.
