Ehh, maybe. They did alright last year, but just too much up and down. They go beat by LSU by 10, Oklahoma by 2, Baylor by 2, KState by 3. Could go either way I guess.
Guy on 247 knows his parents...
Just got off the phone with his dad (his dad is the Boerne High School football coach). I talked to his mom for a long time at the store recently. His mom said there is something special about this staff at TN. Dad loves the way accuracy is important and loved what the coaches had to say.
I think we have a very good shot at Dormady.
The kid is 6'4" 210 and still growing...fast. He will play (I hope) at TN at 6"5"-6"6" and 230. The kid has a rocket and is accurate as hell. He has also grown into his body in the last year and gotten far more mobile.
With the receivers we have, do we need a scrambling QB in the next three years or a guy that can hit uber-talented receivers and pick up 5-7 when we need it?
My son played receiver for Q two years ago. Their 70n7 team humiliated much more highly ranked teams.
The most important quality is his ability to make throws under pressure. He is lighting it up for visiting coaches.
Text five minutes ago from Q's dad:
What is GBO?
My response:
GO BIG ORANGE!!! I haven't been this excited since my wedding night!! I took Tracy and Jax to their first Vols game in 2005...I think was the year. 109,000 SCREAMIN TENNESSEANS!! We won last minute on a 52 yard field goal. Tracy grabbed me, scared the stadium would collapse. Her comment, after being a Texas grad and many Texas games, was OMG!! That is like a professional stadium.
Please remind Q that the largest contingent of fighters at The Alamo were Tennesseans.
GBO!!
We have Jennings. I'd prefer a kid who is more of a passer vs an ATH for the 2nd guy. This kid fits the bill. IF Gibson ends up in Orange, just have to hope his passing skills progress. With Riley out, quick development for the kids coming in will be key.

You watched a sophomore sling it, not bad if you ask me. All the fundamentals are there. Dad is also the head coach. Kid has huge upside and would not be surprised if he ends up a composite 4 star soon. I know the ESPN guys nearly stuck him in the ESPN 300 despite missing his junior year, so obviously a lot of talent evaluators (ours included) see a really high ceiling with this kid. I know I see it.I actually found his film to be quite average (Not that my expert opinion matters). I say we go all in on TG or bust. I thought Nathan Peterman's film was better that this kid's.
