I think Nash will make an wonderful backup for Tyler in the coming years. That's what he looks like to me. Tyler (let's be honest) may not be the most durable QB, and we need a quality behind him, if we are to keep our receivers happy. But as for him winning the position out right, I am dubious. I was after all a BJ Coleman fan (he has plenty of smarts) and look what it got me. Although I must say that UTC had it's best season in almost twenty years (especially on offense) with him leading the team. So maybe you on to something after all.

Yeah I heard that the NCAA internally coined the 3 year rule the "Nash Nance Rule."

And for all of you guys bashing the kid, step back and get a life! He is just a senior in high school and you all are bashing him.

Needless to say, the future is bright on Rocky Top with Nash at the helm. It's a great time to be a Vol.

I've been told Nash Nance once killed a bear with his Tootsie Pop when he was only 3...

I've seen a lot of people on here saying that this is only a good commit if Da'rick Rogers comes with Nance. As someone close to the program, I have to defend this kid. Nash is a very smart, level-headed young man with the right priorities. He is the kind of kid that will absolutely soak up the coaching he will get at UT. He is also the kind of great infuence you want in the locker room. He may not come in with the hype of some other QB signees, but he does have the tools to progress into a successful SEC qb. There is something to be said for having a good attitude and brain for the position. Many would argue that that is one of the most important attributes a QB must have to be successful. Not to mention he has the physical tools and will only get stronger in our program.

I'll leave you with a list of QBs who have been successful due primarily to good minds/attitudes:

*before you guys shred me, claiming that I compared Nance to Peyton Manning, these are simply some guys that have been successful due in part to mental prowess.

- Peyton Manning (no explanation needed)
- Kurt Warner (lacks an awesome arm, but great smarts)
- Rich Gannon (threw for nearly 5,000 yards two times
due to mental prowess-not a cannon arm)
- Shaun King (near tops in the nation at Tulane)
- Major Applewhite (most underrated qb in his day)
- many more...

just my opinion. take it or leave it
I's like to hear from you guys on the topic. thanks

all this is well and good.......only, you left out the MOST important part......will he, or won't he, be wearing the new uniforms that you have designed for UT to wear.....THAT is all that really matters

Stewart was the better QB (total package) when they set foot on campus. Peyton kept his nose in the playbook and had some help at the beginning... ask anyone on the team then.

I'm willing to believe anything.

My point is that it is rediculous to anoint anybody as the heir apparant when you never know what is going to shake down. Whether it be "help", or politics or pure talent, you have no idea who will end up being the guy.

It is pointless to speculate.

I don't get what the big problem is with our uni's. There's not a team in the nation that wears the orange as good as the Vols, not even syracuse, and they're called the freaking orangemen.

The kid is a taller Drew Brees. THATS why Chaney signed him. By the way, I was flipping through La Tech's playbook on NCAA.... There were more spread formations than anything. What did Chaney run at Purdue? Spread.... What is Wilcox best at defending? Spread.... Who were our biggest "gets" this year in recruiting??? Receivers... Who was the qb we went after in the late stages of recruiting, even though we had already signed 2??? Nash Nance. What did he run in HS? Spread... I'm not saying, I'm just saying.

I'd love to run some kind of version of the spread here. To me, it's fun to watch. I just don't think we have any qb's on this roster who can handle the spread option. Which is why i really don't care if we don't use the option, i just like idea of spreading the offense. UT's offense has been bottled up way too long:p

I don't think that we are going to see any option out of the spread. If we do, it will be VERY little. But I do think we are going to see a LOT more 4 and 5 wr sets this year. I think we're still going to run out of pro-style sets. But I'm expecting to see much more shotgun this year than we did last year. It seemed like Kiffin wouldn't allow anything other than qb-under center. Dooley will let Chaney have more responsibility this year, and Nance will be the quickest to learn his plays.

I agree 100% with the original poster. In fact, I have heard Tyler Bray and Matt Simms were looking at other school options once Nance committed. People keep acting like Nance was a free scholarship so we could get Da'Rick, but the coaching staff was actually HIGHER on Nance than they were Rogers. The staff really values smarts and Nance has 4.0 while Rogers may not qualify.

There is no doubt he will be the starter this year..I just hope we can keep him all 4 years and he doesn't go pro after his Junior year.

There were some rumors that Nash may forego college and go to the CFL to make him more NFL ready. Let's hope for our sake thats not true.

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Although I do believe Dooley mentioned they would run out of the pro set. What I would really like to see is an offense that is multiple. Base out of the pro set, but throw in some wrinkles as well.

I have sources extremely close to Derek Dooley who are sending me this classified information.

It's looking good for us, as Nance is leaning towards NOT going to the CFL. Word is that the LFL (Latvian Football League) has offered Nash a nice salary of Latvian Lats. Don't worry though guys, he bleeds orange and will be here next year.

I will be the first to start this chant next year:

"I said its great, to be, a NASH NANCE fan..I said its great, to be, a NASH NANCE fan"

think about it.....there was a reason he wasn't highly recruited. Mike Nash purchased every starting job Nance has ever owned....at the Darlington school then Calhoun Co. Take a look at his highlight films, most of his passes are little dumps to DaRick and others who then racked up yards after the catch inflating Nash's stats. Not saying the kid can't improve with the right coaching but obviously Richt who has coached a heisman trophy winner or two wasn't impressed enough to offer. maybe Dooley can prove him wrong......Joe Cox had an awesome HS resume and CMR had him under his wing 5 years........just saying.

Look man. I have watched Nash a while to. At Calhoun and Darlington before he came over. You are spot on about his character. He is a great kid with a level head on his shoulders. BUT!!! It is going to take a lot of work for a few years before we start making any optimistic assumptions. If you have truly watched him and know football you have got to admit this. Some of Rogers big plays this year came on HB option throws. Not out of Nash's hands. With that said I hope he turns out great, but the athelete came with him. The on red flag on him is can Rogers reign his ego in. An out of this world athletic specimen in person, but a lot of Unsportsmen penalties over the last two years. This year he was close to Georgia HS association stepping in. Not just talk I know this. With all this said I think they are good signs, and want to stress again that Nash is a great kid. Let's just see what happens. GO VOLS

Nash and the situation he's stepping into remind me of a situation a few years ago at the other UT...seems like he is very similar to Colt McCoy - under the radar, the lesser recruited of two QB's, but similar skillset and smarts.

Coach12, if you are close to him then please pass this along. Nash needs to be preparing hard right now because he will get his chance this fall. Word from inside is that Bray might not be ready mentally in addition to physically, and of course there are numerous worries about Stevens. Nash has a great opportunity but the window is small, and he needs to seize the opportunity.
