2014 - Drew Barker - Kentucky

[STEPHONGILMOREFAN!]

I think we will go after tyler harris from Georgia next

[EveryThingGreen]

he is a gator commit

[gotrice?]

If Barker ends up at UK I think Tyler Harris out of GA would make sense as the next QB to look at.

I'm sure we'll continue to recruit him but if our Spring game is the same date as UK's, it will be very telling in which game he picks.

UK spring game = 4/13 at 7pm

What day is ours?

[gotrice?]

Didn't see you post that when I was posting SGF. He is the next logical choice since we aren't going to get Park.

I like ty better as a pure passer

he is a solid Gator commit.

Id like to see us go after Park, the lowcountry kid who is a dropback passer. However, I hear that bridge is burned as he was upset we didnt make him a priority at the start.

Yeah Park is off the table so we may as well not even worry about him anymore. Harris makes alot of sense. I will say as a pure passer he is better than Barker but Barker brought alot to the table with his frame and legs.

I'm not sure what day our Spring Game is but for some reason I don't think its 4/13 but if it is that will be the telling moment. I still think if we get him back on campus we will be able to sell him on USC so definitely not game over yet. But definitely should start recruiting option #2 a good bit now.

[ICEHOCEY77]

It is the 13th.

[EveryThingGreen]

well, that will be the moment of truth - if it does not happen before then.

Our Spring Games are the same day. The one he attends will give a great indication of where he ends up.

If Barker picks UK, fine. With limited spots, I'd rather use it on some of the kids that are highly rated and want to play for us.

[garnet_black215]

Barker is a very good QB and I really hope we get him. If not, we'll be fine and I'm sure coaches will look at other options.

If this completely speculative BS is working against us, it's only because of this type of baseless and ridiculous message-board post! Spurrier apparently made one comment in a recruiting letter about Mitch extending his career, and people have read waaaay too much into that! Spurrier will retire when it's not fun for him anymore. It's flat-out nonsense to think that his decision will be tied to one player!

Thanks for the heads up. Just checked it out. He's one of only 5 QBs on their All-American team. So now he is apparently a top 5 QB with both 247 and Scout! That is BIG-TIME. He's somewhere in the top 10 with Rivals. This kid would be our top QB signee since the early 80's (Todd Ellis), if we land him.

[bgallup]

I think Taneyhill was top 1 or 2 in country

[Gamecocks321]

Feels like Yannick Ngakoue all over again.

[EveryThingGreen]

Except that we never ever led for Yannick and this won't be dragged out to signing day but I get what you are comparing with the home state school.

[ReadR00ster]

hmmmm....... Do we absolutely need a QB in this class?
