Even Cam Newton knows how good Bailey is. This is an article written about Bailey at a camp when he was 14 years old. Bailey will be a Fromme type QB a notch or 2 better. Big kid at 6-5 / 225 but with all the throws. Really good fit with Chaney- I cut and pasted from the old article:

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton had heard the stories about Harrison Bailey. But when Newton saw him in person for the first time last Memorial Day at his foundation's 7-on-7 tournament in Atlanta, he was nonetheless floored.
This kid is how old?
Newton had to meet him.
As you'd imagine, when the reigning NFL MVP walks up to a 14-year-old quarterback to talk football, it causes a stir. It's the type of thing onlookers remember.
"That happened right in front of me," says Erik Richards, the national recruiting director for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, who had a front-row seat for the exchange.
"So you're the eighth-grader that everyone has been talking about?" Newton asked Bailey in disbelief.
Bailey, who was busy dissecting teams loaded with talented soon-to-be juniors and seniors, calmly replied, "Yes, sir."
"He told me, 'You're pretty good, but you got to keep working to get better week in and week out,'" Bailey remembers.
"There was some heat there that weekend," Richards recalls. "You had guys like [5-star Stanford quarterback commit] Davis Mills, [5-star Georgia quarterback commit] Jake Fromm and other studs out there.
"Cam walked up to [Bailey] and couldn't believe the kid was about to be a freshman."
He's not the first to be astonished by where Bailey's at in his development.
Before Bailey ever threw a pass on the prep level, his name was already buzzing as a potential future star at the most important position on the field.
Programs such as Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee verbally offered him scholarships before the season.
"I've been really trying to stay humble about it," Bailey, who turned 15 in November, says of the growing college interest in him. "Every college that offers me, I just say thank you and I just try to keep working hard and stay on my own path."
Now, he's delivering on that lofty promise as a freshman at Marietta High School in the Metro Atlanta area.
As Scout's Chad Simmons has detailed, Bailey—who reports a 3.7 GPA—is already breaking school records and putting up eye-popping numbers. He finished his freshman season having thrown for 2,812 yards and 21 touchdowns with only seven interceptions, according to MaxPreps.

Nice read.

Watch the first half of his State Championship game and decide for yourself.

Was Chaney recruiting HB to come to UGA?

UGA offered. Most likely Coley. They did have a logjam at QB through 2018 when he was projecting his future destination. He grew up loving Florida, so we’re lucky that Mullen’s offense didn’t sell as a good fit.

I cannot begin to say how happy I am for us and this kid that he will have Chaney and this staff (tee, Weinke) coaching him. Pruitt has recruited massive slabs of beef to give a firm pocket and Chaney has had time to get installed. Meanwhile, you can see Pruitt is going to create a terrifying defense.

What is amazing is that Bailey committed before we had any of this and held on even though the dark days of the last two games of last season and the first two games of this season.

Had Bailey come at another time with another coach, it would be good but with him coming now, it is going to be epic. I have watched him play.

I really believe we are witnessing the birth of something special. 2022 is going to look a lot like 1998.

Well, like most I love the kid, and Holliday was a steal there at the end. Now we will have six (6) quarterbacks on the roster. Two are going to have to go. Maybe the coaches already know who is out the door, maybe they will let things play out a bit longer, who knows? Pruitt once made an interesting comment about recruiting quarterbacks. He said, "You better keep recruiting them until you've got one." Well, I believe we have that position covered for the next 3-4 years.

Well said! Our D is going to be ferocious. All our current QB's, and all the sudden we've got a stable full of them, have different skill sets, but I could see where Bailey comes in and plays early. It's really good that we have options...and pretty good options at that. Won't be long before QB's are lining up to play for Chaney.

Does he get redshirted next year while JG, Hill, Maurer and Shrout fight it out? A year in S&C, learning the system and working with Chaney and Weineke without any pressure seems like a great idea. I guess we will find out in the spring. He may be so good they can't keep him off the field. GBO.

No inside info claimed here BUT I think the staff let's it play itself out. If JG comes in markedly better than we've ever seen him, HB could get a RS year. But if we see what we've seen for years out of JG which is inconsistent performances, the staff yanks him like they did this season. The question becomes does HB come in and wins the #2 spot, if he does ( and I expect him to do just that ) First goof by JG sits him for the season behind HB. If JG has a lights out season which means he MUST beat OU offensively at the minimum, then HB has a chance to RS for one year. He starts the 2021 season for us or someone else minimum.

JG will be better but the supporting cast of receivers will probably not be as good. At least not early in the year.
