2017 QB CJ Lewis commits

[rtb1983]

Someone has to backup JG. Might as well be Lewis.

I just hope this doesnt hurt our chances with Emory Jones. I didnt even know we was recruiting CJ Lewis for a QB in this class. The way this 17 class is coming together, leaves me scratching my head. Thoughts?

We always trim roughly five from November to February. No worries, some will drop us and some will choose us. Three stars, I feel, are told you have a solid spot on the team if you earn it this year with your play. If you don't perform we will recruit over you.

I will worry if we don't win this year.

Backup to the backup to Dormady?

I am certainly not an expert - but I do have thoughts - so why not.

I am thinking 6' 3" very athletic - runs a 4.5 -- if he doesn't work as a qb - he could play receiver or a couple of other positions. People forget that a lot people are playing QB in high school because they are the best athlete at their school. The beauty of a qb that runs a 4.5 - is that if he doesn't develop into a great qb - he has other options.

It is amazing how a dual threat QB opens up the field.....His video shows the kid to be exciting and elusive.

But, but he is only 3 stars

You all are crazy worrying about this stuff. Here are my guesses at what is going on:
1. This guy will rise fast in the fall and Butch as usual is ahead of the evaluators.
Or 2. Butch knows we have multiple talented qbs on the roster and he wants Depth to go along with signing another higher rate qb this cycle. Just in case one on the roster transfers.
Or 3. Butch wants him at another position all together and the evaluators are not looking at him from that perspective.


Just a a few guesses.

Basically. Meanwhile Bama and the other top SEC teams are landing 5 star players

A couple of points:

1. It is only July, so technically no one has landed any 5-star players. Some have committed, but nobody has signed.

2. Only 9 of Rivals' 26 5-star players have committed. AL has 1, LSU has 1, and Auburn has 1. If TN has a very good year, then the 2017 could change considerably. Likewise, a poor year could result in significant changes to the class.

He'll be moved to WR.

Back up to the back up to the back up

Just checked his video, appears to have a good accurate arm & can scramble. Welcome aboard my friend!:dance2:

I love how he sees the entire field.

Smh. Unreal. Recruiting is crap this year.

"We are building for LONG TERM SUCCESS."

This class just got very deep. Bodies to fill holes everywhere.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

oh yeah. Boom

The day Butch was hired, if someone told you he'd have the program mentioned in the top 10 after three seasons, predicted overwhelmingly to win the sec east and coming off a 9 win season in yr 3 EVERYONE here would have taken it. Suddenly though we have doctors, lawyers and grease monkeys knowing more about how to build the program than the man doing it.

Its July. Let's let this play out.

Can this be right? 3 games last year, 721 yards passing, 5 TDs?

I watched the kid's tape, reminds me of that lefty from Florida that Urban signed. Anyway, I don't think he's ever going to play QB in this league.

Right now it absolutely is. Jones has a bunch of cutting and replacing to do between now and February if he's gonna get this class back on the rails and not take a significant step back. This class, as it's currently constituted ain't gonna cut it. That being said, I think he winds up replacing 6-7 and adding Smith, Chandler and Gibbs and salvages things by NSD. At least I'm hoping that's what happens.

 

[MustafaRasta]

Maybe he is trying to stay under the salary cap.

This recruiting class is why Dooley was able to whip Butch at Cincinnati

You and me both.

That makes absolutely zero sense

I'll say what a lot of other posters are thinking. This is BS! This class is below our standards. I mean, come on, how many freaking low rated 3 stars are we going to sign?

How are you saying what others aren't saying? Butch knows what he's doing. Be original

 

[CoaxialOrange]

Butch gets paid to pick his guys. We get paid to.... oh wait
