This staff's qb recruiting

They got Shrout last year and they are bringing in Mauer in this upcoming class. What gives? Both guys are 3 stars and neither of them look very impressive when you look at their numbers. Is this staff just banking on not needing a new qb for a few years? Does Pruitt just know a diamond in the rough when he sees one? Or, do they not have the ability to recruit a better qb?

Shrout was a last minute get who you can pickup. Maurer put up some great numbers.

The truth is Mauer showed at the elite 11 that he is a top QB. The fact is he’s committed to UT and hasn’t even glanced at others showing interest. I don’t think the recruiting pundits like this.

He played for a very mediocre HS team and still put up impressive numbers.
Lastly, QB ratings seems to be one of the most skewed. The NFL is full of 3 star QBs and there are tons of 5 star busts.

Crompton was a 5* and look how that turned out

drew breeze was a three star. 1/3 the starting qb's were 3 star are less examples: Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, josh McCown, and Carson Wentz. how they play in High School is not a good barometer of future success as a qb. Development is the key. Look at J.G. for example, he has all the tools but is slow in developing. Hopefully he will develop next year.

What competition was he playing and how many interceptions did he throw?

Florida HS football is one of the best States to produce D1 talent. He did play on a losing team which can be taken 2 ways. He had bad players OL and receivers and still excelled or other teams got a big lead and put in 2 nd team ergo big numbers.
He did show out at the Elite 11 last time that happened I think Dobbs and Ferguson. So the Elite 11 thing is a good barometer

If Mauer was committed to 'bama or the Gators he would suddenly become a 5 star with "can't miss" potential. It is politics at it's finest.

The problem is Tennesssee hires 3* coaches and recruits 3* players and hopes they can out coach and out play 5* coaches with a roster loaded with 5* talent.

That's good. But do you care to list all the 3 stars who did not make it to the NFL? Only so many 5 stars and 4 stars. I mean 3 stars can be great, but it's not as likely thats obvious. Otherwise, everyone would recruit 3 stars and not care. I understand your point. Do you understand mine?

Take a look at QB rankings on 247. There is only one PRO Style 5* QB and thirteen 4*'s. It's not like there are plenty to go around and it's not hard to imagine that there are 14 schools besides UT that they would rather go to. UT hasn't exactly been a QB factory they last few years.

Who is the last 3* QB that we had here that was very good? I honestly don't remember. Seems like all of our very good QBs have been 4* or higher - guys like Manning, Martin, Shuler, Clausen, Ainge. Sure some higher * guys have not played up to the rating but it seems like we never find that diamond 3* guy at this position.

Forgot my favorite QB of all time! Dobbs 4*

So if this Bailey kid commits today AND reclassified to 2019 class making him possibly the top pro style QB in the class ... what will you mouth breathers have to bitch about then ?

I like the earlier post about completion % records. I know I have tried to add actually data to comments I make from time to time. I use statistical analysis every day in my engineering duties. Several on here, yourself excluded for certain, only want anecdotal evidence that supports their baseless beliefs. Name recognition, Star Power, how they look in a uniform to name a few that are thrown around.

Ding ding ding. We have a winner. Give this man his prize. The fans also get themselves lathered up just enough to think it's possible to beat teams with lesser players. Usually doesn't work out as we've seen over the past decade.
