Does the recent play get us in on an Elite “23 QB?

[Hunerwadel]

You don't have to be an NFL caliber quarterback to win in college. Cough....Tebow

 

[butchna]

QB isn’t one of our most pressing needs recruiting, and we already have a borderline blue chip QB committed. Jackson has a huge ceiling.

Arch Manning talk needs to die.

He’s in the 22 class. This thread asks about 2023. We’re already “in it” for Dante Moore and Avery Johnson (not both in the same class of course) and Nicholas Iamaleava visited so there’s some headway. That’s the 3rd, 8th and 4th ranked (247) prospects in order of mention. I doubt this staff is even wasting a phone call with Arch. Sometimes they need to express some interest for you to do so.

If Rattler decides to transfer, I'd love to see what Heupel could do with him.

Plus it would be nice to snag a Sooner or 2 since they nabbed 3 of our guys.

Here’s the irony…this system does not require an elite QB. It needs a QB with a good overall blend of decision making, athleticism, arm strength and ability to see the field.

Pretty sure what you just described is an elite QB.

 

[Cosmo]

He took an unofficial to Ole Miss for the Ark game. I think he may be interested in Ole Miss, but it would be great to show out while Miss is in town.

 

[Ratvol]

A Josh Dobbs clone would do fantastic in this system.

Go VOLS

 

[LWSVOL]

I think if you are a Blue Chip HS Qb you have to take notice on what Heupel has done? This year is an affirmation of what he’s done in the past is not a fluke. Thoughts?

depends on outcome of the investigation. Plus, he has put up similar numbers since he was the OC at Missouri and never got an elite QB.. Not sure he needs one

Tend to agree but he has never had the resources as a head coach to have that luxury. I share your opinion for once in a very long time we have a qb developer

 

[sona]

Something tells me he ain't the staying around type.

 

[wmcovol]

The problem isn’t that Heupel can score and roll up stats with his offense. He hasn’t shown he can consistently get QB’s to the next level. In his defense, that’s not his job and he has to play and coach with the players he has in the present. I sorta consider his offense akin to Leach’s at Tech where every QB was rolling up tons of stats but not one QB was noticeable to get to next level. Graham Harrell was prolly the best QB but he wasn’t like an eye opening prospect.

Sam Bradford & Drew Lock say “hello”

 

[DeltaVol05]

Say what?

That's close to the definition of an Elite QB!

 

[stillavol]

We continue to win run the table draw interest from Arch Manning and say thanks but no thanks. Right?

Arch Manning will play in Neyland but sad to say it will not be as a Vol.

 

[stolitonic]

When was the last time we had a 5 star QB visit us with the potential to land him?

Ahem. JG says hello. And throws a pick 6.

 

[GVol1966]

We have a '23 5* QB from California visiting next weekend for the Ole Miss game.

coming to see Kiffin

 

[De La Cloobs]

The only school consistently putting guys into the NFL is Oklahoma, which did this with 3 transfer QBs. Heupel developed Bradford, Landry Jones, and Drew Lock into high NFL draft picks. That’s better than anyone we’ve had since Cutcliffe. And Heupel is a much better play caller. He’s right there with Spurrier and Kiffin.

Alabama has put 2 1st rounders in the NFL but they’ve accomplished nothing in the NFL so far. Much like Ohio st (which also did it with one transfer), their offensive talent makes it hard to evaluate QBs for the NFL. When you can go games without having to hurry a throw, and your guys are wide open, that’s not how the NFL works. Mullen has gotten several guys drafted, from Jacobs at Bowling Greek to Alex Smith, Tebow, Prescott, and Trask. He and Riley are probably the only guys I’d put above Heupel at developing QBs.

Hooker has started 4 games in a brand new system and he is in the top 5 in passing efficiency. I’d say that’s coaching.

That'll preach.

Thought he was 4 star?

 

[JMSqb11]

Sam Bradford & Drew Lock say “hello”

So 2 QB's out of 15 years? Coaching QB's, OC, or Head Coach? Such a pipeline he has

 

[wmcovol]

I left out Landry Jones also. So 3 QBs in about 13 years. Bradford was the #1 pick and Lock a fellow first rounder.

I doubt Tennessee could sign him if Cut was here......I dont think he goes to Ole Miss either

 

[ThreatLevelOrange]

“Good overall” isn’t elite.

No thanks I didn't like that kid on QB1, his attitude is sh1t. There is a reason they pulled him. No thanks we have pur QB1

 

[stillavol]

UT is not in the picture. The Mannings have won everything but a Heisman and a NC. I think it's down to Bama, GA, and TX.

 

[igotworms]

He was a 5*

It's just that someone intercepted his last one so he only ended up w 4

If Lincoln Riley can't fix him, I don't think Heupel will either.
