'17 NC QB Hendon Hooker (Vol transfer)

[nicksjuzunk]

Yeah, Barnett, JRM, Corey Vereen, Josh Malone, Coleman Thomas. None of those guys improved at all.

I would take Hendon in a heartbeat. Kid can flat play and did not get a shot at VT because Evams dad was boys with Fuentes. Great kid, Dudley product (with Wyman and Page both targets) and has the tools to be a great player.

Legitimate phone recording cover up for next year's recruiting "benefits"?

UT could do worse than to add this guy.

 

[scvolfan7]

Elite addition if we pull it off

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Definite take. He was really fun to watch in a few games this year.

Freeze and Hooker the headlines write themselves

 

[Blackburn]

I was sold on the fact that he has an arm like a gazelle.

This analogy makes head hurt. Arm like a gazelle, really?!?

Obviously Freeze would know how to get the most out of him.

Lol. Based on what?

Obviously Pruitt is here next year so...

Then he won’t get development here

Then he won’t get development here

We don’t need this guy anyway

Harrison Bailey.

Harrison Bailey.

Kaidon Salter. He is the future. The last time the Vols were "explosive" we had a true dual threat.. The Phoenix will rise out of the ashes of old Neyland.

With good coaching Bailey has the potential to be special.

I like HB don't get me wrong. I just don't think he is mobile enough for SEC football. Him going through his progressions is great to see.. but he holds the ball like we have Bama's O-Line. sack.

He’s a true freshman. He’s not gonna be Tom Brady out of the gate. Especially with our O line playing underwhelmingly bad

You can see the first bit of game time that that isn't true. I think he is afraid to make a mistake now because of our ridiculous rotation system. If he makes a mistake he gets pulled. They are screwing him up doing what they are doing. Corrall turned it over 6 times last week for Ole Miss and he still almost won the game for him because he was making plays, not afraid to get pulled.

On screens and shorter routes, he has been timely and great. The longer plays that take time to develop seem to be an issue.. even when he gets it out of his hands the accuracy is off.. unless they are wide open. He is a freshman though, and this could be an issue with receivers getting separation. I am not knocking him again I just believe we need the dual-threat element. We had a QB who ran a 4.36 but now he's just a special teamer who had a huge drop in the Florida game :\.

Yeah this a good player. Surprised he is transferring. I take that to mean he already has a destination lined up to leave a starting job in an offense he is good at running. He could be the deriq king type impact somewhere. Electric with ball in his hands

He will need to transfer somewhere else though, unfortunately
