Ketch's 10 Thoughts From The Weekend (Two guys have really taken off this spring...)
- Thread starter Ketchum
- Start date
oh yeah. Cal's approach worked in the early days of "one and done" but he was certainly getting diminished returns in recent years. even with a NC banner to his name getting bounced twice in a row by a 15th seed in the first round with a second round exit in between doesn't play well at UK. and he had the first losing season at UK since Eddie Sutton in 88-89.
all of my UK buddies are happy to see Cal go. what they think of Pope i don't know yet. probably split on it.
i also think Cal decided on an exit strategy to avoid another disappointing season where he'd certainly have been fired and save UK from having to payout 30 million. the Arkansas job has enough upside to take it and exit UK on his terms and he owes UK a lot for his tenure there. as Dan Wetzel said last week it's a rare Win/Win/Win for Cal, UK and Arkansas.

If 3 of the top ten players on the team are edge rushers (and another edge rusher is a true freshman who will probably get better and better as the season goes on) how much better should we expect the pass rush to be this year than last year, or years prior?

Having kind of the same issues Alabama/Saban are/were having.
Does that weight range stay similar for 5* prospects? Basically, what has historically been a good weight for a LB coming out of HS?
given i'm a UK fan along with Texas and my Alma mater UofL let's hope Pope is a better hire than Charlie Strong was. on the one hand seeing a big program like Texas hire away yet another successful coach was a bitter pill but in the other i had serious doubts Strong was up for the Texas job. Strong won in the Big East and AAC he never coached in the ACC. and you can sum up Strong's success at UofL in two words. Teddy Bridgewater.
Dana got the moment he needed for that belt to mean something.
It carries the moment as the new standard.
Boy did he ever. I loved Max’s comments afterwards that this belt should be fought for all the way to the end if you’re really a BMF, no taking a round or even the last 10 seconds off and cruising to a victory. If you’re a BMF you point to the center and invite the dude in for his chance to take it from you. Bad. Ass.
I don’t think I’d put incoming weight as the correlation to be mindful of as to whether a player makes it or not
It's a single data point. Not some sort of end-all be-all.
Surely, you are wise enough to understand and know that.
Staff wants to use Bo like Anthony Hill, and they are about the same size and weight as recruits.
Appreciate the thoughts Ketch looking forward to the spring game,
Hard to believe what happened to Spieth he went from a top 5 player to just a guy Ketch here is a B/S on Spieth does he ever win another major.

I’m surprised that D.J. Campbell isn’t getting any hype at to be in the top 10. He looks like a top five player to me and a second round draft pick. Some of these players may not even get drafted.
Im giving you a hard time because i just dont think it's a datapoint used by probably a single NFL scout or coach in their consideration of NFL potential.
My favorite AL Green, you ought to be with me! Love your list too but have to add my favorite! I saw him about 5 years ago and he was good, solid and a wonderful concert. But time goes on, cherish the memories, he will not be around forever, and the memory will be with you for a lifetime!!
he did have a sprained ACL for 4 games and played through it and then a torn meniscus that he returned from in 11 days. Dude is a beast.
Do we win the Alabama game without him? Do we win Kansas State without him? Do we make the final four with one of those losses? Yeah, he was a difference maker. Honorable mention Big 12. Who was the last sophomore edge at UT to get that? Sounds like you’re a hater Ketch!
The pass rush should be measurably better but we'll all find out how much we miss the defensive tackles getting push and Ford occasionally shooting the gap.
