Obviously no one had spring practice. Joey just became eligible 2-3 weeks ago. If he is able to perform in the big spotlight it says quite a lot about player evaluation at AU. We shall see...

AUBwins 10,107 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Stoops announced Gatewood will start against Georgia this weekend. Excited for this. I hope he lights it up! Not only that, with NCAA allowing everyone to keep a year of eligibility, Joey still can play 3 years at UK including this year. If he needs it of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked about as bad against that uga defense in his first start after having practically no preseason while surrounded by Kentucky talent as Bo did against that uga defense in his 15th start after having the same preseason that most teams did while surrounded by Auburn talent. Definitely not writing him off yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paladin 3,305 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Joey Gatewood transferring from Kentucky after Will Levis named starting quarterback By Creg Stephenson | cstephenson@al.com Former Auburn quarterback Joey Gatewood is now looking for a third school. Gatewood will enter the NCAA transfer portal for a second time, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said on Sunday. Stoops named Will Levis the Wildcats’ starting quarterback for the Sept. 4 season-opener vs. Louisiana-Monroe, adding that Gatewood had chosen to leave the program. “I told him how much I appreciated how hard he’s worked. I know he’s been through this before so I knew it would be especially tough. Tough decision, not what he wanted to hear,” Stoops said, via 247 Sports. “We had that discussion, had a good talk. He handled it completely professional and really appreciate him.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augolf1716 21,432 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Feel bad for the kid...... University of Kentucky quarterback Joey Gatewood is planning to enter the NCAA transfer portal, head coach Mark Stoops announced on Sunday. Gatewood transferred to UK ahead of the 2020 season after spending his first two seasons at Auburn. He made his only career start against Georgia last year in place of Terry Wilson, who started every other game but sat out that one with a hand injury. Gatewood’s decision came following Stoops’ announcement to the team that Will Levis, a transfer from Penn State who joined the program this summer, will start at quarterback going into the Wildcats’ season-opener against Louisiana Monroe. TOP ARTICLES After meeting with the quarterbacks as a group, Stoops spoke with Gatewood privately. He knew that that decision would not sit well with the former top-50 recruit, who at Auburn lost out on the starting job to Bo Nix, then a true freshman. “I told him how much I appreciate how hard he’s worked, and I know he’s been through this before so I knew it would be an especially tough decision, not what he wanted to hear,” Stoops said. “We had a good talk. He handled it completely professional. I really appreciate him. At that point he did inform me that he thought it would be in his best interest to enter his name into the portal, so that should happen here soon. ... “I have great respect for Joey. He believes he can go somewhere and be a Power Five quarterback and a difference-maker, and I believe that as well.” Stoops conferred with Gatewood about publicly unveiling his decision to enter the portal before doing so. If Gatewood enters the portal, he cannot practice with the team. Stoops said he and Beau Allen would be competing for the No. 2 position on the depth chart if Gatewood were to remain at UK. “He has to make a decision very quick,” Stoops said. “It’s in his best interest to get to a new location prior to school starting. If he’d enrolled here, that would count as a calendar year for him, and that would set him back. That’s not good for his future.” Stoops said that, as of Sunday, if he had listed Gatewood as the definitive no. 2 quarterback with Allen as the No. 3 player on the depth chart, it would not have been fair to Allen, indicating that he’s performed at a high level in campSubscribe for unlimited access to our website, app, eEdition and more “That wasn’t fair to Beau,” Stoops said. “Beau’s done a very good job. … Each young man deserves the proper opportunity, and he’s earned that right to get a lot of reps with the 2’s.” Per NCAA rules, to qualify for an immediate eligibility waiver, players had to transfer before July 1. Gatewood would not have been immediately eligible before that cut-off date, regardless, since he has already once transferred between FBS programs. “If you wait another week, then he’s trapped here, so I thought it was the right decision to let him know where we stand,” Stoops said. “And he appreciated that.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,813 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Sounds like he was at least about as good if not marginally better than the Allen fella. Levis is supposed to be very talented from what I’ve little I heard, and was above in the race for a minute Very depressing to hear on Joey’s account, I hope he goes to a FAMU or maybe a G5 and just tries to be the best athlete that plays QB that he can be. I think he would enjoy that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except Malzahn has proven to be a below average QB coach and Stoops has never been known as an offensive guy. Neither staffs were built with QB development in mind. Bobo and Harsin, in contrast, do have a long track record of QB development and QB success. That's why seeing what they could do with his talent would be different.
