'16 NC QB Austin Kendall (former UT commit)

[Ertel]

After watching his film i dont see how this kid doesnt end up a unanimous 5 star and possibly the #1 qb. Very impressive. Looks like johnny manziel. The amazing college version not the rehab nfl one

Imo kid has all the tools. I have not seen any film on a 2016 QB that looks as good. He'll be a 5* IMO.

I just watched jacob easons film and while its impressive and its clear hes big kid with a strong arm i wouldnt trade kendall for him. Eason is solid though. Looks like a young ryan mallet

Debord doing work.........

Quotes from interview with Austin Kendall:

On Bajakian



On 2015 QBs coming in





On Debord hiring

Sound like the young man is thinking things through and not making any rash decisions regarding his commitment. I hope he sticks it out with UT and he's running through the Power T in the near future.

What are the chances he actually decommits? I've heard rumors both ways

If I were to guess, I'd say 60/40 he does. Jmo

 

[overseasorange2]

Who decommitted? According to 247 we only have 6 now.

right now as things are? very little IMO. later (month plus down the road) it could happen if he doesn't like Debord. if we take a second QB, very very high. I still feel like he is UTs to lose. all IMO

70/30 he stays. Butch should be able to convince him that being taught behind Dobbs for a couple years at UT is 10x better than backing up Towles.

Bridges. OLB.

He'd only have one year under Dobbs.

one...two...close enough

If you say 60 then he must be a mortal lock since you have been a pessimist on most every highly rated player we have been in on.

Not really. My class prediction for this year has about 20 good ones in it. My 2017 class prediction has another 20 or so.

That's whah I've been kind of thinking. Obviously as a UK I'd be for him flipping but I'm not a homer like many fans and I am trying to look at this without bias.

Usually when a fan with a rival's avi fluffs your tail feathers, they just want to make them more flammable. That's the only reason I thought you were a troll before. For the record I have no idea if birds are flammable or not.:whistling:

Wait, if you're from Cleveland, TN (my town), then why are you a UK fan?!?! We're so far away from the Kentucky state line, I don't understand!

I'm originally from Knoxville but I go to college at Lee University in Cleveland. My dad is from Bowling Green, Kentucky and that's how I became a cats fan. My mom is from Knoxville and a UT fan so I cheer for you guys when UK and UT aren't playing.

If your Mom is a UT fan then you should be too. We only like Moms that are UT homers. Check the Van Jefferson thread.

Let me guess...a UK basketball fan and a TN football fan?

No I'm actually a UK footbal fan as well. I don't think it'd be right to cheer for different schools in different sports

I can at least respect that.
