Kentucky lands Quarterback Zach Calzada and more transfer portal news | 11 Personnel

[@benjaminbush7884]

Calzada will be a big improvement at QB then the QBS in the previous two seasons

[@damfs]

Wow. Aggies, auburn, IW and UK. Might as well finish on a low note.

[@michaelfiaschetti2574]

Won’t be missed later (sorry)

[@phillipjohnson8241]

Picked up some solid help but need to hit on more powerful O-Line

I struggle with how each person has a different volume. It’s fine with headphones or out loud on the phone but it’s a real struggle in my car.

[@benjaminbush7884]

It looks like Stoops is building a team that would've been better for the 2024; season. He's going to need a NFL team to get a few wins in 2025. Could be brutal.

[@andychinn7674]

I think the Patterson Kid is going to be a Stud. Reminds me of Rudi Johnson. I think he doesnt get hurt Patterson finishes some of those drives inside the 5 we couldnt score.. If he stays healthy Patterson going to be a Stud u wait! Mark my words here!!

Maybe we will all be surprised next year. Or, we’re COOKED again. That’s why they play the game. 😊

[@bookertee3057]

More hype for nothing. Remember, this is Kentucky football

[@phillipjohnson8241]

They made 6-8 bowl games in a roll, only two SEC team's can say that

[@TYoung21]

Anything is better than Brock 😂

[@kevinwright7460]

Hardy Gilmore will be better thsn Key and Wilcox will be a star if he gets the ball.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

Anybody who says that investing in a good running back isn't a good idea is a fool. Newsflash, in the game of football the best offenses run the ball!!! Everybody thinks that these good offenses just throw the rock all the time smh. 🤦🤣 There was a stretch in 2021 when Kentucky had probably the most explosive offense I've ever seen them have here, and a huge reason why was they ran the ball!! And done it really well. Tovani Mizell and Jamarion Wilcox will have to be better than expected for this team to have a shot vs that schedule next Season.

[@C-Wiggz-859]

Jason patterson was above wilcox & mizzel on the depth chart b4 an injury. Fyi

[@Wetrockstah2116]

@@C-Wiggz-859 what does that have to do with anything I said? Yeah I know he was, and he has potential too, hopefully he stays and ends up being really good. Jamarion Wilcox is by far the best running back of the 3, well Tovani idk, because I haven't seen him other than highschool. Their gonna have to go get another running back out of the portal or get another from highschool or something

[@C-Wiggz-859]

@Wetrockstah2116 it has to do with u assuming wilcox will start. Patterson is just as good, and may end up starting/playing over wilcox.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

@@C-Wiggz-859 he might, he definitely has the potential to be, But from what I've seen Jamarion was more explosive and ran Alot tougher for his size than Patterson did. Although I do like Jason Patterson and IMO he could be really good after a year or two in the program.

[@C-Wiggz-859]

@Wetrockstah2116 well dont be surprised when Patterson is above him on the depth chart.

[@KamalasFkboy]

Calzada is not a bum. I think the fan base is jaded with good reason. Stoops trajectory was supposed to at least plateau not regress

[@MattWatts-nu7xq]

Great underwhelming qb get. We won't win 6 games next year.

[@aoplaysguitar]

I feel like they made the wrong pick here…..the duke quarterback seems like he would have been the best decision. He’s just more proven playing high level football. Hopefully he plays great in bush’s offense. GO CATS

[@C-Wiggz-859]

He wanted 3million $$

[@aoplaysguitar]

@ oh my lol yeah he wasn’t worth that much. Duke told him the same from my understanding.

[@C-Wiggz-859]

@aoplaysguitar they definately made the right pick. 3400yrds 36tds & 8ints last year

Y'all can talk and get the best quarterback but if you don't have a good offensive line he can't do anything.

[@stevebarnes5243]

Sorry, UK doesn't have enough money to compete in the SEC. Someone should be hitting up the Bourbon distilleries for donations since we don't grow chicken here. Good luck next year, could be coaches last ride unless he figures out how to handle young, egotistical, entitled, rich 19 year old's with no sense of loyalty toward a team, only the bag of cash.

[@phillipjohnson8241]

They have plenty but they take money from football to pay for basketball, baseball & track and field

[@timlawsonBigBlueFan]

You better start trying to get the money to buy stoops out he's not getting the guy's in here he never could recruit good he got lucky with a few running backs He wanted the 3 and 4 Stars so he could coach Them to make him better they never got better He can't get the big stars here

[@C-Wiggz-859]

We keep forgetting that we can get players in the portal back...i feel like LAW (bama) & Key would be nice boundary WR for Calzada with maclin & farrier inside. And Gilmore is going to be a nice player too.

[@Briankmurphy13]

Love you all, but it shocks me sometimes you all don't understand football and u cover it for a living

[@austinkeith2198]

How do they not understand football? There is no way they don’t know way more than you. This is their job man. I can’t claim to be a better electrician than a real electrician.

[@phillipjohnson8241]

Don't care about damn basketball guys.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

And you can't compare Benny snells success to anything Jamarion Wilcox is going to do, because As good as Benny was and the O-line, they actually called running plays!!!!!!! Jamarion Wilcox could have done something last season but Bush hardly every gave him the chances, there was sooo many times when they would get into the RedZone, multiple times where Jamarion was the reason they even got there, and Bush was call the same Dumb QB run , or some pass play or something and they would come away empty handed..seen it Soo many times. Bush Hamden was the OC as Boise State and guess who his running back was? Ashton Jeanty, and look at Ashton Jeanty now that Bush is gone. I don't think he is very good at calling plays. Idk if we got Derrick Henry and Joe burrow if the offense would do much, because I think the play calling was sooo bad last season it was laughable

[@C-Wiggz-859]

This is laughable. Boise st would be in the same place with hamden. Cant keep firing coaches & expect to have the players thst match the coaches style. That why ur not a coach. We struggled cause our QB was horrible along with our Oline. And we only got beat decidively 2-3 times the rest of the games we could have won. Oh not to mention ur 2nd string RB who wasnt SEC caliber....try to win vs the elite with that. We actually did pretty good considering.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

@C-Wiggz-859 I do agree that you can't keep firing coaches, because continuity matters. But to say we done good considering the circumstances, naw..we didn't. The play calling was horrendous, yeah he had a few decent games calling plays, but for the most part it seemed Alot like he wasn't really calling plays with any strategy. He should have ran the ball more, and the O-line actually wasn't bad in the run game, it was in pass protection where they struggled most. Bud I've been watching football for over 30 years and I think I know what I'm talking about. You have to have a running game to have a good offense, unless you run an air raid and you would have to build the entire offensive side of the ball to effectively run that type of offense. But the good offenses in College football run the ball well, and good Offensive coordinators know when to run the ball and when not to. Seemed to me Bush didn't do to well in that area last year. I want Bush to be good here, but I'm not holding my breath, until I see him utilize his running backs a little more idk.

[@C-Wiggz-859]

@Wetrockstah2116 ur lost then. If u have a offense full of busts & 2nd string and have a chance to win games lile we did its not the play calling...its the execution & lack of talent. U will see.

[@C-Wiggz-859]

@Wetrockstah2116 and ur a fan not a coach & it shows. Just watch the games or get hired.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

@@C-Wiggz-859 you like 14? I've been a college football fan for years, and Have been a UK fan for 30 years and remember the days of battling schools like Akron for recruits. The program is at an all time high recruiting wise and talent was not the issue last season. Yeah maybe execution could have helped some, because that is the most important thing, but it's kind of hard to explain the game of football to a casual, and id say when you have consistently ran the same things over and over again the defense will catch on.. newsflash, it is a field position game, and when you run Gavin Wimsatt out there on the field everybody in the stadium knew what they was doing. There good offensive coordinators that can call plays, or understand how to, and those guys are guys like Steve Sarkisian, Lane kiffin, ect. Vanderbilts Offensive coordinators, won awards for his ability to call plays, it is important! There was a reason vanderbilt had a good year this past Season. Yeah there are Soo many other factors at play as well, but coming from not just me, is was sooo painfully obvious that The offensive play calling was horrific at times last season. And don't tell me that the running backs we had wasn't good enough, because Jamarion Wilcox had numerous games averaging 10 YPC but only got like 6-7 touches. If you don't have a good running game in college football you are not going to score Alot. And it's even worse when you handicap your own run game by not running the ball in the first place!! Like I said hope Bush proves me wrong and has a great year next Season, but we will see.

[@RobertCampbell-ft3cx]

Next year will not go well for UK. Stoops has lost too many players!!! He doesn’t have the ability to coach anymore!!! Everyone will know next season! 😢😢😢
