Like the video of the kid, but who the hell is #84 on that team? Dudes got talent...

Thing that worries me most about him is in the parts of the video I've watched(didn't watch all of it, so meh), he's throwing to wide open receivers most of the time..I mean he's accurate in those throws, but I want to see some in tight coverage, cause you're not gonna get wide open receivers all day in the SEC.

The kid wearing 6 didn't look to shabby either. couple of nice of the shoulder catches and he looks like he has some speed.

I know what you're saying, but it's HS, it's not like every team has a couple of shut down corners.

I can honestly say I know Florida fans I like better than some of my so called Tennessee brothers. You make me sick. Dooley hasn't even coached a game yet and you are already bashing everything he does. The heck with you.

Unless we're hiring 90s Spurrier as our OC, I don't expect this kid to do much for us

Why do you say that? Chaney has a little experience in developing QB talent....see Super Bowl winning QB last year for references.

Im from Rock Hill and have been watching Justin play since pee wee football.

He has that "air" about him. He puts the team on his shoulders, natural leader.

He plays much more mature than his age dictates. He has all the tools to be a great qb for the Vols. Plus he is smart, 4.1 GPA

Does the size and GPA remind anybody of a certain QB from the past?

Last year with little or no help Northwestern was able to play in the SC 4A championship game, mainly due to 50TD passes from Worley during the season, in his two years at Northwestern he has thrown for more than 8000 yds.

Im looking forward to seeing him in Orange.

Dooley is loading this team's 2011 recruiting class with 2-star and 3-star players, and the reaction of most folks on here seems to be that he's doing a tremendous job and he's "on a roll".

I am actually not sold yet on the recruiting or this particular player.

However, if Power is a 2* player having all the measureables and having already proven he can make an SEC two deep as a Fr competing against a couple of very good TE's.... I'll take a bunch of them.

The comment that he landed the QB that he wanted is interesting as well. 3-star players usually are easier to land than 4-star and 5-star players. When you set out to recruit lower-rated players, you SHOULD have a higher success rate.

Rightly or wrongly they see something in this kid. According to those supposedly in the know, he's been at or near the top of their board all along. I am pretty sure the last staff was also high on him.

Is it possible that 2-star and 3-star players are underrated and will gel as a group and play above their perceived talent level? Sure. However, the odds of ALL of these guys doing so are exceptionally low, and our SEC rivals are not needing their players to play above their heads. They're loading their teams with elite players that just need to play anywhere near their perceived talent levels.

This is a decent point. The class isn't finished and Rivals will upgrade some guys to 4* later in the year. But there comes a time when the law of averages kicks in. The recruiting services aren't wrong all the time. I doubt the staff is finding all these guys who are underrated no matter how good they are.

Thanks for the insight and welcome to the board.

Long time reader, first time posting. I liked what I saw on his you tube video, but never noticed him under center once.

And whose fault is that pray tell?

It's Fulmer's and Kiffin's fault, and I've never said anything different. Nevertheless, that doesn't change the fact that this recruiting class isn't getting off to the incredibly successful start that many orange-tinted-glasses-wearing fans would like you to believe, and it WILL get harder to recruit during this season. That is no knock whatsoever on Dooley. It is simply fact.

Question for the negative fans/Kiffinites: Do you know who placed this kid at the top of UT's QB board?

They know who they are. I'm not a blind sheep. I knew Coach Fulmer was done a few years ago. I just think we need to get behind our coach and give him a chance. If I don't like what I see I have no problem blasting him but it is way too soon.

I don't think the source of conflict though is "we don't want to give him a chance"


(from what I've seen as an observer, though I could be incorrect about this) there's a contingent that seems to praise and treat him like he's the best thing to happen to this university.....and then call out those who don't as "not real tennessee fans" or "kiffin lovers" - neither of which is particularly true - while persistently also trying to force an acceptance that their idea is the reality



I'm more with you that he shouldn't be ranted on at this point, but of the same token, until he translates to actual success on the field, he really shouldn't receive the massive praise either

Jim Chaney...

I think Kiffin would have gone after Rivers first, if that's what you're trying to imply. Probably LeMay too, though stealing from Bama isn't easy.

I see... so you think Kiffin deferred to Chaney on the QB position? I don't think so. If Kiffin didn't agree he was #1 on the board, he wouldn't have EVER been number one on the board.

It is interesting though that you would segregate CLK from this choice. He had him number one on the board but you for no reason whatsoever think that would have changed. Is it just bias against DD? Is it some belief that CLK and O wouldn't have a 3* player at the top of their board?

The GVX article says that his coach sent film to the new staff right away. Implicitly that says that the deciding factor in where he ended up on the board had changed... Chaney had not changed but the HC had.

I just think LeMay and Rivers were higher on the board, as we were going after each of them at least as hard as Worley...they compared Rivers to his brother and seemed to be going at him the hardest...but if you have inside info or actual knowledge of that staff's board, that's obviously better than what I have.

And your last paragraph seems to imply that this staff moved him UP higher than he was before...

No. Just the very public article from the Charlotte Observer: "Kiffin and his staff were high on Worley and had put him at the top of their 2011 recruiting chart as the No. 1 quarterback target. Richardson wanted to make sure the new coaches knew of Worley's athletic abilities and exploits on the field."

I don't have any inside info... I just read all I can before leaning one way or the other. Otherwise I want to see proof. I won't make a positive or negative conclusion without sufficient FACTS.

No. As far as I know there isn't anything higher than #1.

Simply put. Chaney was a constant. Worley was CLK's #1. When the coaching change occurred, his coach didn't want him to lose his status at UT so he sent film to DD... who apparently agreed with CLK's assessment of Worley.

FTR, I am still scratching my head but will defer to the ability of those two staffs to evaluate talent.

Just from his highlights... I see a quirky motion and not alot of arm strength.
