Patrick Towles Transferring

[JDEaston]

Sec east terrible.

Recruiting is better but coaching is worse.

 

It takes some time to overcome what Joker left us with.

Is currently regressing. I can't believe anybody can watch this season, and believe UK is going forward.

 

Unless I'm mistaken UK started 9 sophomores or younger on offense and four on defense. I don't think it's regressing so much as growing up.

I think Patrick will have more interest than some think...he has the arm talent to lead a major team. Heck if he had receivers at UK that could catch the ball and run the correct routes he would have had huge numbers at UK.

 

I could see Michigan or other team of that level taking a chance on him...we will know quickly because he will enroll there in the next 4-5 weeks.

 

It would be great to see PT lead Michigan into the Horseshoe next season and knock off the Buckeyes!

Agreed.

^Again this

What year is the Michigan qb? He was a grad school transfer. I wonder if they would look at Towles at all. Imo he has the talent, and Harbaugh does a great job with qbs. That could be a great fit imo.

 

Michigan, give me a break

Some of you need to come back to reality with some of these teams you are talking about. Towles has been average AT BEST in his time at UK, and you can't blame all of it on the o-line and receivers...

[Jumper_Dad]

Hearing today that at least one PAC-10 (or whatever it is called now) team has reached out and checking to see if PT had interest in coming out there.

 

The team just had a 1 year Transfer Senior QB and may be looking to do it again next season.

Where do you think he ends up...WKU, Murray St, Cincinnati maybe?

If stoops were in the 2012 SEC East he would be 3-9. Joker lost to Petrino coached WKU in OT making him 2-8. Toppers would top Stoops...remember we trailed EKU by 14 in the 4th.

A WKU or Murray State would suit him well. I could see him doing well in Bowling Green. UC usually has decent QB's. I don't know what that position looks like for them next year.

 

He's not nearly good enough to go to Michigan or Alabama (:lol2:) and start next year. I don't see any Power 5 team that is looking to make some noise next year bringing him in. He's just not that good.

Again, whats your point? We can compare scores and throw theories out there all day long. But what it really comes down to is that Joker inherited a bowl team. Stoops inherited a 1-9 team and has had them a game away from bowl eligibility two years in a row.

I believe Towles will be a starting qb at a big D1 school next year.

Correct on these points, but a majority of the problems are not placed squarely on any one individual. It's always easy to put it on the QB. Dawson's play calling is questionable at best, receivers not catching balls (and not the ones thrown behind) is definitely a problem and the O-Line is absolutely not a D-1 O-Line by any measure. I think Barker found that out yesterday…..

 

This is a program issue, not a QB issue….good for Pat leaving. UK got what they wanted from him, now it's time for him to move on….

[Builder1214]

Patrick Towles will have multiple opportunities. UK was bad. It was not the QB's fault. Towles will be successful at whichever school he chooses and will prove that he was not the problem at UK. This is not good for UK and will set them back another year.
