Does Johnny football have any chance to return to college? With our offensive line we need someone with his mobility to make our offense work. This is our first objective on offense. Defense is beyond fixing at this point.

Troll. Coaching will shore up the defense quite a bit

No we don't. It's by far the thinnest position on the team, even with the additions. And with the possibility that Hall may not be back it's even thinner.

Plus we had to play a couple freshman that really could use a redshirt. Definitely would use one on an O-lineman. I hope we give Kevin Feder from Ohio State a look and Chryst.

Would love to get a QB grad transfer with a Russell Wilson type impact.

Won’t happen with our current OL but another QB with experience would help.

Don’t think JG will be able to last the whole season and scary to think we would need McBride to play.

Ride JG and Chryst this season and redshirt McBride and Shrout.

I thought McBride played as well as anybody.

25 hard cap. 3 blueshirts from last year count towards 2018 class: Calbert, Fant, & Wiggins. So cap moved to 22. Signed 20, 2 still waiting to either be counted later or blueshirt if they find a couple more 2018 guys they like.

Ok I didn't know. All the recruiting guys said we could sign 23 and that was the only number I've seen.

Chryst is visiting UT this weekend per this article...


Gardner Minshew'''s transfer: Alabama, Tennessee or Auburn? | SI.com


Minshew says Tennessee is very intriguing, especially because the Vols’ QB picture is pretty murky as Jeremy Pruitt and his new staff continue to get settled: “We’ve been talking a lot. They want me to compete for the job in the spring.”

Because Tennessee has mini-terms within its semesters, Minshew would be able to enroll this spring, compete in spring ball and get around his new teammates and coaches, which would be a big plus in his eyes.

He isn’t the only QB the Volunteers have their eye on: Former Stanford starter Keller Chryst is expected to take a visit to Knoxville over the weekend. Chryst isn’t expected to graduate until June, and Minshew said the Vols staff has told him they haven’t given out any offers.

“If it were to work out [at Tennessee], I’d be in school in there next Thursday,” he says. “I feel like I fit what they do.”

Having either one of these guys present this spring or on the way should motivate our other QBs to get after it in every way they possibly can and seize their opportunities of getting a head-start on the new guy.

Why did this staff not manage to recruit QD to stay? I’m not saying he’s Johnny Football, but he does have an arm.

Probably wanted to replace somebody they knew was injured and wanted to replace him with somebody who could play immediately if needed. That’s the tea leaves I’m reading.

But hasn’t Cryst been injury prone as well?

I don’t know the story we’ll enough, but neither QB they where trying last year was really working. Bryce Love WAS the offense. They backed into the PAC12 championship game and stunk it up.

USC looked like world beaters....then they played Ohio State. That game was unwatchable at times. I say that about USC because Stanford was that much worse. A lot of people blame that on the QB. I blame it on the play caller.

tennessee is very much in the market for a graduate-transfer quarterback. And the vols are on the move in exploring another potential option on that front. Stanford transfer keller chryst, who announced last month he planned to leave the cardinal and play his fifth year elsewhere after completing his degree in june, is expected to visit tennessee in the near future and possibly as soon as this weekend, sources told govols247 on friday.

Chryst was linked to the vols nearly a month ago, and sources told govols247 he has shown a lot of interest in tennessee, which can be considered one of the frontrunners for him.

Chryst was ranked the no. 3 pro-style quarterback and no. 51 overall player in the 247sports composite in 2014 and chose stanford, his hometown program, over offers from usc, georgia, pittsburgh and arizona.

In 2016, chryst was 6-0 as the cardinal's starting quarterback and threw for 905 yards with 10 touchdown passes and just two interceptions. He began the 2017 season as stanford's starter, but lost his job to kj costello midway through the season and did not play in the final six games of the season. In seven games he had 962 passing yards with eight touchdowns and four picks.

The 6-foot-5, 231-pounder had three rushing scores the past two seasons. His uncle, paul, is the head coach at wisconsin, and his father, geep, coaches the tight ends for the denver broncos.

That was what I heard happened. Lost his job and the Cardinal offense was still Love and Love and some more Love. I can see why he’d want out of there.
