Dan McGuwire was 6'9 and played at San Diego State and was drafted. It the name sounds familiar he was Mark's brother.

Dan finished his collegiate career at San Diego State, but he began it with the University of Iowa. We played him and the Hawkeyes in the 1987 Kick-off Classic, which we narrowly won, 23-22.

Any of you recruiting gurus out there got a good feel one way or the other with this young man?

the four-star junior quarterback from eldorado high school in albuquerque, n.m., said he came away from his weekend stay at tennessee with “a really good feeling” about the vols, and they “set the bar pretty high” during his first recruiting visit in more than nine months.
“it went really well. I was pretty blown away by everything,”

“i had high expectations going into it, but i think it was even more than i thought it was going to be, to be honest with you. ... Being in the spot that i am and the location that i’m at, i haven’t been able to get out and see some big-time programs. But i’d have to say that tennessee set the bar pretty high, for sure, just from the personal experience.

“i was amazed by everything,” said gentry,

“all of it was super nice. I mean, everything in the athletic center was awesome. But i’d have to say walking into neyland (stadium) for the first time was pretty amazing. It kind of blew me away a little bit. I wasn’t expecting it to be so up-close and big.”

“i for sure got a better look into (the offense), seeing it live and everything,” gentry said. “i think, actually, i would fit in pretty well. I liked it. They’re going more uptempo this year, and they’re utilizing the quarterback running a little bit and kind of letting him scramble. I like how they’re spreading it around the field, too, and they’re still maintaining their run game.”

while he said he’s “not exactly sure” where things stand among the teams he’s considering, he admitted that he came away high on tennessee.

“to be honest, i left with a really good feeling,” gentry said. “i like it there, so we’ll see where everything goes.”
gentry said he’s planning to visit oklahoma state on friday and saturday.

“unless i’m really dead set and i feel really comfortable, i think that i’m going to take another couple months (before deciding),” gentry said. “but you never know, so we’ll see how everything plays out, i guess.”

The coaching staff will go after this kid until he commits. Not sure what that means for Gibson as I know he has a later commitment time table. Nunez I'm not sure about either, but I'd expect Gentry to be higher than Nunez on our board. Jennings by all indications is a Vol, so that takes up one of the two QB spots in this class - question is, would the coaching staff risk over recruiting him for Gibson if Gibson continued to show strong interest?

Gentry's not as big of an over-recruitment risk as Jennings is. Only because I feel like Jennings and Gibson have so many similarities.

I meant to ask if Gibson would be recruited over Jennings, not the other way around. Words are hard for me sometimes.

“Tennessee is definitely at the top,” the No. 247-rated player in the Scout 300 said. “Since the offer in early December that they put out for me, they’ve routinely talked to me once a week. I can’t remember the last time that I haven’t talked to them once or twice in a week. They’ve showed me their interest level is high and that’s made my interest level high and the fact that coach Jake has been out 3-4 times and he’s going to come back again in a couple weeks and coach Jones has been out. That makes me feel like they’re working really hard to recruit me, so that’s something of value in my mind.”


“They’re definitely weapons,” Gentry said. “I got to hang out with some of those guys for awhile on Saturday —*Josh Malone,*Jalen*(Hurd), Daniel Helm,*Ethan Wolf. It was pretty awesome seeing some big-bodied guys that were super athletic and go reach out for the ball. They’re definitely targets and would definitely make it a lot easier for the quarterbacks.”

Said he is still "looking into" coming to the spring game. Vols lead for Gibson, Gentry, and presumably Jennings

No matter what your feelings on Erik Ainge may be, dude knows his quarterbacks, and when he's actually talking ball he's pretty unstoppable. Wrote a good breakdown on Gentry's tape. Long story short he's got a big man crush. From TSR:

Connor Shaw Who?

Zach has great shotgun mechanics, especially in the quick game and he doesn’t false step at all. He gets the ball out very quick because his footwork is on point. His release is not the quickest in the history of football but he makes up for it with his shotgun mechanics and knowing where to throw the football, oh and he has a CANNON!

Throwing on the run is hard to teach, Zach has got that down. He makes throws in this video on the run that would make even NFL scouts raise their eyebrows. Twenty-two yard banana outs, 18 yard back to 15 comebacks, slot outs, razor routes etc. He throws it up the seem and across his body, even makes throws running to his left which is the hardest to do as a righty.

For a JR in high school his accuracy and arm strength are very impressive. Check the tape for the back shoulder fades in the red zone and in the open field. Throws deep balls with air, touch and hard up the seem. Hits the seem routes before they get 25 yards deep which is the mark of good coaching and again, a huge arm and great feet. Pocket presence is above average but his competition is not all that intense.

All in all this is a special QB and I am FULL GENTRY, watch the video and see for yourself.

It'll be interesting if Gentry and Gibson are on campus at the same time.

The only, well the biggest, thing that concerns me about the Texas offer is his familiarity with the staff...but we're still only talking about one camp, last year.

Butch and Co. can reel them in with (and against) the best of them, there's ample opportunity here and plenty of reasons to believe that we can land Gentry.

Wu?...why'd you leave out the part where Butch tells him that he's the SECOND reason they didn't sign a QB in 2014? :huh:
