Lynn Bowden

I can hope he would return for his Senior year, but he would be taking a chance and I will applaud him for 3 years as a CAT if he doesn't. I hope he plays in the Bowl game because if he doesn't, I hope we play UL again.

Wouldn't that be a hoot! Put Rose, Smoke & CRod in the backfield in the triple wildcat. Run for 500 yds again on the filthy birds.

He made a liar out of me. I didn’t believe UK could succeed with him simply running the ball. His talent and TOUGHNESS are without parallel at UK. Reminds me of Hines Ward from UGA. No way he comes back for another year.

Ironically without the Wilson injury Bowen likely would never have made your short list. The only way to really see how incredible he is was to put the ball in his hands on every play.

That is definitely true. Rarely has a player been asked to do so much, and delivered so spectacularly.

He's about the same as Randall Cobb, and if he has that kind of career in the NFL that would be awesome. Another that is comparable, maybe, would be Moe Williams because of the output numbers in college, if he has that kind of NFL career (8 years) that would be awesome for him too.

Bowden would be smart to go, IMO. He is what he is, which is a slot receiver and kick returner. He's got a son he wants to take care of and this is his best chance. I know Josh Allen returned with a son, but Lynn isn't going to increase his stock to a first round pick. That's not a knock on the guy, it's just the reality of his position.

That is correct, Los Gatos. I wonder how much a policy like that would cost?

Seems like it could be structured so that the premium is not due until after he signs a pro contract. And, if due to injury, he doesn't sign a contract subtracted from the value of the policy.

I think he's more explosive than Cobb, but that's about as good a comparison as we can make. Love both of those guys!

NOTHING better than watching players get better and mature.

Pretty much why I like college football and baseball more than college basketball. There’s time to watch growth over a several year period, not just one.

Just my opinion but Bowden is one of the best athletes I have seen come out of UK in my lifetime.

I agree, and I've seen some great ones since I began following UK sports in 1954.
