Don't think they'll both go to the same school.

I doubt either one will be scared off by the other...not with our current roster.
Ainge-Schaeffer tag team action a few years ago ring a bell for anyone? Murray and Metal-Burger for UGA this year?
Again, no QB prospect in their right mind can expect to play for a NC contender without some stiff competition.

We ended up with only one. Just like McCoy-Snead for Texas. Somebody's going to have to transfer.

I agree...Kiffin may be looking for the prototypical pocket passer, but I happen to like one who can do that and happens to have a fast set of wheels as well.
Give me Tee Martin or Tony Robinson over Ainge and Clausen any day of the week

Not me. But I would love to have Scroggins though. This is the classic win-win scenario...

Scroggins and Heaps for the win, and Newton as an Athlete competing initially for a QB spot, who may end up a 6'6" WR for us.
That's how bad the current QB situation is. No reason either QB should be afraid to compete with the other.

Has he ever said distance is or is not a factor on where he goes?

“All of my mother’s family lives in Memphis,” Scroggins said. “We go there a lot; I have always loved that part of the country.”

Old news, but good read. Scout.com: Vols in California QB top 3-FREE READ

I like this guy, seems to have the pro-style ability that we're looking for.

From what I read, Scroggin is probably a top 3 quarterback in California with Nick Montana and Austin Hinder (thus far, no clear distinction between their levels). As a point of comparison (from what I read on Cal boards), Cal delayed offering Hinder because they were initially hoping for Heaps. In other words if Hinder is roughly around Scroggins, then Heaps is clearly at another atmosphere.

And I noticed some people believe Heaps' stock has been dropping due to Rivals (which the West Coast branch was furious over the low rating), but do realize that Heaps has had only one combine for them and Heaps started slowly because he hasn't played since his state championship game. While I also believe that Scout overranked Heaps, from what I heard and seen, Heaps is clearly a top 3 QB. The best free report on Heaps is probably the Notre Dame one. As they said, Heaps should rank somewhere between a mid 4 (5.9 on rivals) to high 4 (6.0). The main thing preventing a possible 5 star is his upside.

When we don't get Heaps or Scroggins, it'll be interesting to see what the staff pulls out of their hat...will a Newton/Hendrix solution be enough to build on....?

Yes.

Cam Newton would be awesome in 2010 and 2011. The time he needs to be ready to play well is condensed by the experience he already has. That's also true of Marve.

That gives Hendrix a couple of years to become the 2013 championship QB we need (building on solid competitive experience in 2012).

The 2011 class may yield another 5* QB to compete with Hendrix, but with time in the system, he'll be solid.

It sounds like Kiffin is strong on Hendrix.

I agree. I hope to get Scroggins and groom him while Newton is here. That is the perfect scenerio IMO.

WHEN?...You know something we don't? I'm feeling pretty good about our chances. With UT usually in the thick of the SECC race and with the SEC being known as the top conference in the nation...and you have this gaping hole at the QB position? I think it's the other competing schools that should be worried.

I honestly think our chances are better with Scroggins, but we have a lot of work to do on him and it isn't going to get any easier. As more schools find out he can play, well let's just say he's gonna have plenty of options.

With USC loaded to the hilt with 5* QB's on the roster, I think we're in pretty good shape (they would be the toughest competition there in the west, IMHO...CAL would be No.2). We're probably the only top 10 program with a glaring need at that position. Coleman's departure, just helped us immensely in that regard. If it weren't for that, I'd be more concerned.
It's just going to take some patience, but I believe both will commit within the next 1-2 months. The invitation to play in the biggest setting in college football (SEC) and be THE man...is too entoxicating if you are in their shoes.

That's what I've been saying for weeks. I know Heaps was priority one, but we waited an aweful long time to get on the Scroggins band wagon. If it was for the fact that he has family in Tennessee we probably would be as inticing to him. I hope the staff is ready to really get after him. He was very pleased to FINALLY get an offer from us.
