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

This is not that kind of forum! Shame on you sir!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We literally could sign all 4 QB's if we wanted. The absolute dream scenario is to sign Gentry, Gibson, and have Jennings as a safety valve.

I think I just boomed my shorts thinking about that scenario.

Dream scenario is the perfect wording to describe the likelihood of that happening.

In reality, UT will not be signing Gentry, Gibson, & Jennings this recruiting class.

hmy:I went back and re-read my pot and I see what you did there. No wait, what I did there.

If Gentry played in Cali, Texas, Florida or LA he would be a 5* easily. Kid shows elite talent and deserves a 5th star. I am not saying that because of his interest in us. Regardless of where he decides to play, he should be a 5*.

How tall was the QB from Arkansas who played receiver for Jacksonville? That was the tallest QB I have ever seen.

Guy from Arizona state was 6'8 or 6'9.

ESPN NFL has Brock Osweiler listed at 6' 8" and 240 lbs. I have seen CBS sports listed him at 6'7" and 242 lbs though, but either way you look at it the kid is still pretty big QB.

No need to state it like that. He is a solid QB prospect and his intangibles are very intriguing. If he was playing lights out vs that competition in NM then I might be inclined to agree. But offer list, stats, and common sense suggest he is ranked right where he should be.

Easy there bubba, you're making too much sense.

Nick Foles is currently listed at 6'6".

Gentry's height and athletic ability is definitely intriguing.

 

[onevol74]

His name was Matt Jones. He was 6'6" and could run a 4.3. He had all the talent in the world and snorted it away.

His speed was very deceptive due to his height. It looked like he was taking his time but nobody on the field could catch him.

Very maddening...cussed our D unfairly...was shocked at his combine.

Add him, Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis all in one backfield. Just unfair. Amazing that Hillis was the only one who met expectations in the NFL. I thought Run DMC would be Adrian Peterson 2.0.

Matt Jones was there right before McFadden and Jones arrived. Instead they had Casey Dick and Mustain for a little before he transferred to USC.

Good call. I forgot about ol' Casey Dick. That evened up the playing field for the defense.

Great we already have a player playing RB that is too tall to play the position! Now we could have a player playing QB that is too tall for the position! Our coaches better get their act together or its going to get ugly fast. Better fire Jones before it's too late. Hire Pearl...

It's insane anyone would take the standpoint that a QB is "too tall".

 

[Bruce Wayne]

A tall QB would help make Jalen look like a normal sized RB to appease that particular sector of the fan base.

Someone will seriously make that argument sooner or later...

A couple years ago when Mallett came out, a couple ESPN guys wrote an article about how few guys taller than 6'5" or 6'6" had been successful in the NFL.
