Reese Smith committed to West Virginia

blackandgold4life · 03-09-2019, 04:17 PM

Heard Reese say last night at the baseball fund raiser that Coach Brown said they were taking 2 QBs for the 2020 class. As for Beau Allen all I ever read is how he is a shoe in to UK.

One question, name me one QB UK has developed since Stoops has arrived? Always hear the same thing well that kid isn’t any good or from what I seen there was nothing better behind him. Listen fellas these kids aren’t winning at a high level in high school and blowing up all these camps to suddenly suck at UK, it’s the position they find themselves in once they get there. No way I’d send my kid to UK to be developed as a QB nope...

I like a good passing game too but Stoops is doing a little better than Mumme did.

I've heard the opposite about Allen thru a reliable source that UK is not going to happen. Who knows tho? If not WVU it'll be Duke or someone not mentioned yet possibly.

Time will tell.

I mean, I agree with you and a lot of the others Dougie heâs got the program in a place where it hasnât been in a long time and for only a short time then. The flip side to that is heâs not offering these Kentucky kids at all or waiting really late to offer them once itâs became obvious theyre gonna be really good and then people are getting upset at the kids when they donât bite. If Allen donât go to UK people are gonna go ape shit over it, on social media and everything but if your ultimate dream is the NFL do you take a chance on UK and Stoops after their track record with pro style QBâs. Now if I was an underrated RB or pass rusher that was a late bloomer itâs where you want to be at...

I agree with you but 10 wins ain't bad at Kentucky. I do remember Stoops taking control one game and kept feeding it to Snell and they came back to win the game.

You never had to go break a switch to bring back to your mom and it shows.

Mumme and Morriss was the last time UK actually had QB's on playing QB.

I stand corrected. I guess Perry didn't go to Morgantown.....or he did and left for the Asst QB Coach position with the Cats.

UK wants Beau Allen and that's the way to make it happen.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read that Stoops had hired Perry.

That was a good move. Does he have the potential to be one of the UK greats like Couch?

He's a good high school QB with potential to be a good college QB.

...and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Is he good enough to START at Boyle County?

Lolololololol. Lanter vs Allen will happen at least once this year. I canât wait. I expect it to be a shootout.

I definitely wouldnât trade Lanter for Allen.

I think people are thinking to much and putting way to much into this UK QB stuff. It is damn hard to find a good QB. You only have a few chances to find a top notch QB each year and flops happen to every team. UK and Stoops just ain't found the right guy yet. All this (UK's system ain't good for pro style QB's ) stuff is nonsense. If a QB is good enough and talented enough and can make all the throws and has some decent receivers to throw to he will perform and thrive regardless of the system the coaches happen to be running. If a QB has the right stuff the system is irrelevant in my opinion.

Hoak couldn't crack the UK starting lineup as a four star QB. How does anyone expect this staff to ever get a pro style QB again? IMO the UK staff has done NOTHING to show they are worthy of earning the trust of that type of player again.

Allen may very well go there but from everything I've heard UK had no shot. His old coach may be able to sway his opinion but I would be shocked to be honest.

I think he's bound for Duke or somewhere out west. Time will tell.

Horseshit to much talent been through there in 6 years for not one single QB to have been developed, you do understand that these kids have to be developed they don’t show up with a grasp of the college game, Tua ain’t walking through that door for UK...

Wow! Congrats to this kid he is a heck of a receiver! Watched him play at state his junior year and he really impressed me!

That was his sophomore year, he'll be a senior this coming season.

I think both are excellent QB's. I've seen both play. Totally impartial. I would lean toward Allen. Nothing against Lanterâ¦.I just think Allen has more to offer in the pocket.

This thread is about a tremendous athlete achieving a life long dream, letâs keep it about Reese Smith. Nothing put on here about these two Qbâs is gonna change anyoneâs opinion and a kid shouldnât have to get on here and read where heâs been tore down and itâs bound to happen, Iâve got an opinion which I can happily keep to myself....

Don't base your opinion on last years semifinal game. Lanter had the stomach flu and an IV at halftime.

But I agree, no minds are going to be changed based upon this thread. Besides, it's about Reese Smith.
