May 10, 201313 yr Definitely not used to Kentucky being mentioned in a recruits top 5 with Alabama very often. Cincinnati LaSalle WR Derek Kief lists his top 3 as UK, Bama, and Ohio State.
May 10, 201313 yr Mo Egger was just on the radio saying how big of a get this was for Stoops, to get Barker to UK. Congrats to Drea by the way.
May 10, 201313 yr Reality is a lot more pressure fell on Towels today but he has the ability to handle it, if he steps up and takes the next step.
May 10, 201313 yr Good pick up by the Cats. Was there really any question. I thought I read he was a big UK fan. So all they had to do was offer. Look forward to watching what happens someone will have to transfer. I look for Toles to be the one.
May 10, 201313 yr Author Reality is a lot more pressure fell on Towels today but he has the ability to handle it, if he steps up and takes the next step. Kind of but not really. I think the plan to start off is to redshirt Barker. If that's the case and a redshirt isn't used on Towles/Whitlow, they will be seniors by the time Barker is a Redshirt frosh and eligible to play. He could maybe take the job from them then, but more than likely could end up being his sophomore year when he takes the field. That is assuming of course Towles/Whitlow/Smith is getting it done on the field. If not he may start as a redshirt frosh and steal a year from those guys, or if dire enough may start as a true frosh which is rare (and IMO not smart considering the QB depth they will have). Either way those guys will have at least one or two seasons before Barker really even comes into play. I think having a year or two to be groomed before SEC play will help Barker be one of the best QB's in the land by the time he leaves.
May 10, 201313 yr Author Look forward to watching what happens someone will have to transfer. I look for Toles to be the one. I don't get this logic. The QB spot is already pretty jammed so if either of them were to leave they should do it now or next year because one of the other two current QB's, not Barker. I mean next year he's still playing high school ball, so thats one year. The plan is to redshirt him his first year (which is smart IMO, very few QB's ready to start in SEC as true frosh), so that's two years. So with two, maybe three years left of playing time for one or two of those three I see no reason why Barker would run them off. If one of them does leave its because they got beat out by the other two and not because of Barker.
