Do we have a five way quarterback controversy brewing next year?

[Orange defense]

JG, JT Shrout, Kasim Hill, Brian Maurer, and Harrison Bailey all battling for the spot next year? Boy, this is going to be fun!

 

[McDad]

No controversy. Competition is good.

 

[RockyTopTexas]

There is no battle once Harrison is involved

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Bailey will redshirt

I'm not saying he won't be a great QB here however there are a lot of unknowns and I don't think it's fair to put him on a pedestal just yet. IMO he won't produce at UT until 2022.

Lol

 

[EODVOL]

Given how common QB's hit the transfer portals these days, I would be surprised if we have 5 on the roster come next fall.

 

[1vol8]

I’m telling you..... some of you are putting way too much on Bailey.

yep Auburn lost one today

K. Some put way too much on a true freshman this season. It’s not true or false until it is.

Right. Just saying there are going to be SOOOO many people calling him a bust if he doesn’t set the world on fire when the truth is he may just not live up to their personal expectations.

Words are words. You outplay them and they don’t mean ****. Same applies to your boy. I don’t think any of our candidates are fragile...not even JG anymore.

In other words, he's like every highly recruited QB ever.

Exactly!

Somebody or somebodies will transfer at end of ths year.

Guarantano for sure.

You thinking 6?

 

[PulaskiVolFan]

Guarantano for sure.

If we were to win out impressively with JG at QB do you think he would really transfer? I just can't see a 3 year SEC starter on an up and coming team leave out. That doesn't mean he's the best QB on the roster either, I just think it would be hard to give all of that up for Rutgers. If another SEC school or big time Power5 wanted him then maybe but I don't see that happening either. Those saying we can't win out with him at the position are wrong I believe but that's all just opinion on both sides.

I think it’s a done deal. Regardless if he balls out the rest of the way or not. SC was redemption for his UT legacy. Loyal and hard working as he’s been...only way is down. Clean slate is a good thing.

 

[EODVOL]

Nah. At least one of the three JG, J.T. or BM will probably transfer or we lose Bailey or Hill if all three stick around.

We'll see, I've never been a fan of "the grass is greener on the other side of the fence" type mentality so I hope he sticks it out. He's earned his stripes regardless of his production.

 

[jonnon111]

According to Volnation, everyone will transfer out.

I don't think it a race now, BM has the job. Harrison could press him, but I believe he red shirts personally.

Hes gone. He graduates in December.
Maurer and Bailey will battle it out next year. Hill to back up those 2. Shrout may look elsewhere too. All JMO of course.

JG will be out
Shrout might transfer
Hill will be #3
Bailey given he signs will be #2
