Deuce Finch to BC

[LCPATS]

Per Jody Demling...

 

Finch has committed to Boston College.

Well, that's disappointing. What does he see at BC that he likes better than UK?

I thought he could come in and contribute pretty quickly at UK...

[THUNDERBIRDS]

Justin Burke anybody!!!! He will be back in Louisville in 3 years.

With the status of Locke in question, he could have contributed really soon.

Academics?

This one hurts... We needed a RB.

[Wireman]

Academics?

 

Nah, I think UK is a good enough academic school.

[ColonelCrazy]

Academics?

 

Possibly, but I doubt it. Call me cynical, but if it was about academics then this decision would have been made a long time ago.

 

FWIW, I don't think it's really fair to question a kid's decision as to where he wants to attend college. Boston College is a great school and a pretty solid football program. Good luck to Mr. Finch.

Maybe he just didn't want to go to UK?

 

Comments like the two that you've made thus far in this thread are what give Kentucky fans (or any school's fans) a bad rap. Wish the kid luck and move on...

Wasn't Finch offered by Stanford?

If he was and it was really about Academics, then he would obviously be going there.

 

I'm a little disappointed that he didn't commit to UK but I wish him well at Boston College and hope he puts together a great college career there.

Good luck to Deuce Finch.

 

I do realize these are young 17-19 year old kids, but in my honest opinion, Deuce Finch is not an SEC caliber running back. I am in no way saying he is not capable of playing in the SEC, but rather, he is not a outstanding running back prospect.

 

He has had too many lower body injuries in high school to hold up at that position in college, especially in the SEC. I honestly hope the kid proves me wrong if he is set on playing running back at Boston College.

 

Good luck and congratulations to Deuce Finch.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see anything wrong with my comments in this thread. Since you do, I'd like to hear exactly which comments you are referring to and why they bother you? I'm not saying that to argue, I really do want to know what's wrong with my comments.:confused:

I never got the impression from things that I read that the kid was enamored at all about staying close to home.
