Rich Brooks Guy Quotations

Nobody expected Braxton Kelley to come in here and start and do all of those things, now people look at Micah Johnson and expect him to come in and start and do all of those things. I don't think that's fair. Is it possible? Yeah, it's possible. Is it probable? It's not real likely he'll be a star as a freshman. Certainly he'll be a guy that will come in and have an impact on our program.

He understands all quarterbacks will throw to the other guy once in a while. It's kind of ironic that as soon as he broke the (Kentucky) record for most passes without an interception (153) that the next one was intercepted. But it was just a matter of time. I'm just hopeful he'll put together another 150 string without an interception.

We are thrilled to get a guy like Will, who has a strong arm and outstanding athletic ability. For a quarterback to graduate early and come in for winter conditioning and spring practice is a huge advantage.

You have to be excited about a guy like Micah Johnson. Not only his physical abilities, but his leadership and his dedication in the recruiting process to help us by staying in touch and contacting other recruits. Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

We wanted to sign two quarterbacks last year and didn't. Since I've been here, we didn't have choices at quarterback. Now we have choices ... I'm excited to have a quarterback roster that looks like an SEC quarterback roster, instead of one semi-experienced guy and a freshman, then a bunch of walk-ons.

This guy is a big-time player. I think you are going to see this every game out of him. We've had a hard time blocking him all spring. Myron is very instinctive, very strong and he can run. That's a pretty good combination.

This is the best competition we've had since I've been here. We just need a guy who will make plays in crunch time.

He's just a playmaker and a guy we need to have the ball. He will probably return punts this week, too.

He really did halfway decent for a guy with three days of practice, ... Based on our health at that position, I would expect Eric's snaps to go up this week.

He really did halfway decent for a guy with three days of practice. Based on our health at that position, I would expect Eric's snaps to go up this week.

He can be a stand-up guy (play a non-line position) at 275 (pounds). He walked onto our practice field as a junior (in high school), and I thought he was an NFL guy.
