Good luck at the Elite 11 final stage Harrison Bailey

[1vol8]

Let the best man win! But it won’t be JG.

I believe if Maurer touches the field for any significant time this year JG, Shrout and Bailey will all have some thinking to do because I’m not sure he doesn’t run away with it.

Great problems to have....

Just my .02 - yes ranking services will piggyback off offers from proven, elite evaluators. Yes, Saban is right at the top of them. The Bama bump probably is real...and probably makes a whole lot of sense!

Saban is likely not the coach who first identifies the players they want to recruit. They have hired very good assistant coaches and Saban likely selects the players they plan to heavily recruit. Pruitt was one of his best when he was coaching at Alabama and I doubt he has lost his ability to judge talent. I trust him in selecting the player he wants to recruit, especially defensive players. I think Chaney has enough experience to judge offensive talent. I trust his ability to judge offensive talent. We have assistant coaches who have proven they can recruit good football players. I see no reason the seriously question our staff in their ability to recruit quality talented football players. We will become a football team that will compete for SEC and National championships. Happy days are just around the corner. For the first time in 10 years, it is clear that I will continue to support Tennessee football look forward to the next 10-15 years of my University's athletic future. It is time for you to again enjoy football in Neyland Stadium.

Tennessee is still in the mix (with Texas A&M) for Haynes King. He will also be in the Elite 11. I don't think it matters how he does anymore. Bailey will only continue to go down in the rankings as long as he is committed to Tennessee... and if King should happen to commit to Tennessee? Watch him drop like a rock too... and that will be our confirmation that these rankings are a biased bunch of garbage. We aren't paranoid about this.

I read at that recent competition Bailey's long toss without shoulder pads was 58 yards in the air. I wasn't present and didn't see it, so I'm relying on word of mouth here, which is always dangerous, but if that is accurate that's a good bit lower than your top notch arm talent. That doesn't mean Bailey won't be a great quarterback, being able to chunk it 70+ is far from a guarantee of success and I think Bailey had the high score overall (combining the scores of all the drills they did), at least out of those attending, but a measurable like that going into his senior year could also explain a dip in the rankings as an alternative to, or in addition to anti-Tennessee men in black. Regardless, Bailey's still No. 120 overall on the composite, which is pretty darn good.

JG will either transfer or be holding Bailey’s clipboard on the sideline.

Why even start this bs? This isn't a bash JG thread.

Because it’s a message board and a thread about the QB position? Why is this confusing?

It's not a thread "about the QB position." It's a positive thread about a future player. Not a starter debate/bash current player thread.

Can yall not allow one positive thread without a bunch of garbage? Sad

It baffles me the way so many speak of JG as if blocking, or lack thereof is of no consequence in football generally, or quarterback performance specifically. Tua's numbers against the 4 Top 30 defenses he faced last year (LSU, Miss State, Georgia & Clemson) were WAY below his numbers against everybody else. Our offensive line was so atrocious last year, almost everyone we played had the equivalent of a Top 30 defense match up wise with us.

I think Maurer is a good QB, Bailey will be also, but for those that think a true freshmen QB is gonna come in and walk over a senior QB in JG like its nothing...yall are sorely mistaken. Theres a big difference between a 22yo young man and an 18 yo boy who has never been in a college weightroom or had a dedicated D1 QB coach constantly working on his mechanics and reads etc...i am not a huge JG fan..but the guy only threw 3 picks last year behind perhaps the worst Oline i have ever seen at UT in 42 years of life. He is also tough and bounces back up from hits that many QBs do not...and has a leaders attitude at every turn. He isnt Peyton for sure, but JG has been a solid QB through some of the worst times ever on offense here and i give him credit for that. In several meaningful stats has been 2nd or 3rd in the SEC...like passer rating guys.. the freshmen QB that comes in and does that in the SEC is about once a decade other than at Bama...this is reality.

**Update** Sorry if already posted.

FRISCO, Texas — Four-star Tennessee commitment Harrison Bailey of Marietta (Ga.) High School is among the 20 highly touted quarterbacks who are in the Dallas area for this week's Elite 11 Finals and The Opening Finals.
Bailey, who has been one of the stars of the Vols' 2020 recruiting class since he announced his commitment to Tennessee in late November, has been widely regarded for the past few years as one of the nation's top quarterbacks in the 2020 class.
He's now getting a chance to prove himself alongside a number of other elite prospects at the position during the prestigious annual quarterback competition at The Star, the headquarters for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

The 6-foot-4.5, 224-pound Bailey is ranked the No. 120 overall prospect and No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite for the 2020 class. He's also ranked by 247Sports as the No. 161 overall player and No. 5 pro-style quarterback in the 2020 class.
After Day Two of the event on Sunday, Bailey was ranked No. 7 among the quarterbacks in attendance in the official Elite 11 rankings. By Monday afternoon, he had climbed to No. 4 in the Elite 11 rankings after Day Three of the competition.
Following Sunday's action, 247Sports' Barton Simmons said Bailey "got to play to some of his best traits, which are touch and ball placement in contested plays," during "what was effectively a red-zone period."
"He threw eight passes. Among them, six either went for a touchdown, were dropped in the end zone or could have been caught for scores with a great effort," Simmons wrote. "He only made one mistake, missing an open crossing route and taking a covered underneath route instead.

"If you need to pick one Elite 11 passer to make a red-zone throw to win the game, Bailey proved that he’s one of the top options."
The first day of the Elite 11 Finals included a pro day-style workout Saturday night for each of the quarterbacks in attendance. Here's a look at some of the action from Bailey's performance during Saturday's pro-day session, courtesy of 247Sports' Tom Loy.
