The House of Blue

No question that UK got the best of the two QBs in Kentucky last year. Towels is head and shoulders above Pike in everything you need in a QB.

This kid got too much attention too fast, as well as suffering from being a supposed big fish in a very small pond. I never understood what all the fuss was about with Pike and now, unfortunately, that misplaced recognition is crumbling apart.

I would have liked to see the rankings, analysis, and reports on Towells had he committed early to Auburn or another big name school rather than UK. I bet he would have been a 5*.

Note: Im not in any way sayin i wanted him to sign elsewhere, just curious what his ranking and such would have been had he.

All throughout high school there was still questions on Zeke, especially of his reputation as stubborn, uncoachable, and having attitude problems. As I've watched both play, I can tell you this, Towles is the better QB. The reason Zeke was ranked as high as he was, is the potential, he's got perfect size, and a big arm, but he hasn't been making use of it... Pretty much, UK is extremely lucky that teams like Auburn, Alabama, etc. were interested in Pike and not Towles, because as others said, if Towles had received national recognition, he'd be close to a 5*.

Raw deal

More proof of the failings of Joker as HC. Why couldn't he see the potential and talent that Pike had? Imagine if only we had recruited him... He surely would have signed and life would have turned out lollipops, rainbows, and sugarplums for Pike and UK.

I'll be surprised if Pike ever lines up under center in an SEC game for Auburn.

And I'd be equally surprised if Towles doesn't become a star for UK.

Throw some love to Andre Woodson, too, arguably the most successful of all the UK QBs.

And the spiral continues. Georgia State or the like bound...

I hate to hear that for a kid. PI may be stupid, but there is a lot of stupid things that kids do and I hate to see opportunity blown.

I have only seen Towels play once. I really try not to be too giddy, but....he's hands down (IMO) the most physically gifted QB we have ever brought in. Arm strength....size....athleticism....looks to possess all the intangibles needed, including he just seems like a natural born leader and someone who can elevate the guys around him. There are no guarantees, as I has seen more "highly rated" players than Towels falter completely, but I don't think it will happen with him.

This. UL is my money.
