QB recruitment has been nutty this year. Rettig is second on the list for sure. We need Jesse and we need him badly

Didn't you guys say the exact same thing about Heaps and Scroggins. It may not have been you, but there were many on here saying that if Heaps commits somewhere else, that we offer Scroggins and he will be ours immediately. That was not the case.

To be completely honest the qb recruitment is making me scitzo :crazy:.

You didn't read that on here.

Yes. I did see that on here while Heaps was undecided, though it may have been the know-nothings that throw out stupid claims at random.

I read on another site from a guy that was at the USC camp that CR cant carry JS's jock strap.

I didn't realize Rettig got an offer from Boston College. Hopefully he will hold out and wait and see what UT is doing.

Don't know who would have said that, because on the USC report at that camp, they said that Rettig and Scroggins were by far two of the best three QBs there. Rettig was mentioned in the running for the USC scholarship. JS beat him out, but still, CR was in teh conversation.

The problem is going to be that Rettig is going to pick up more offers and if the right one presents itself then he will pull the trigger. I think right now if UT were to offer he would commit on the spot. But will he do that with other schools as well while UT waits on Scroggins.

This is a tricky spot for the coaches to be in.

From what I read Jesse was head and shoulders the best one at USCs camp. There was no comparison between Jesse and Chase

We are hoping he wants to come here by all reports. But in his last interview I read he said he wanted this to be over and might make a decision very soon and definately before school starts. I think if we fail to offer in the next two weeks he is gone(IMO) maybe we need to offer this week not sure. I mean he is not going to scare Scroggins off. Scroggins believes (rightfully so) right now he is way better based on camps. And Scroggins likely will be better but if Rettig learns how to throw with touch on the shorter passes he will at least be equal to Scroggins despite all the Scroggins hype. He has the Arm Strength and head(as far as IQ) he is missing some fine tuning on style and mentality. He wants to rocket every pass right now. Scroggins does not have a laser arm for those making Peyton Manning comparisons. Maybe in accuracy not in power.

agreed...I hope that Rettig gets an offer from us this week.

Sab, have you looked at video of Rettig and broken down his strengths and weaknesses? If so, what do you think?

Strong arm. I mean strong. But he puts way too much on his throws. Doesn't know the meaning of the word touch. He had a bunch of injuries on his team last year. I wonder if any of them were WRs with broken hands.

He is really raw. His mechanics are poor, but he has the frame you look for in a Pro Style passer. I don't see much I like looking at him on film. I think you really have to talk to the kid and figure out if he has the mind to play QB at this level. By no means should this guy be our primary QB in this class. He is at least a RS and 2 years from being able to contribute.

Rettig isn't hard to figure out
Big arm with a severe lack of accuracy

It is not severe actually he has been described as accurate but he basically pegs guys 5 yards in front of him. And then some balls rise on him at times. I had not heard severe from what I read from anyone. That is what I heard about Munchie.

Honestly when I watch him he looks very uncomfortable and is a bit of a spaz. Uptight, bounces up and down. Very stiff. Rifles the ball. I agree that he needs a lot of polishing. Jesse is much farther along in his development. He looks a lot more confident and he is much smoother

if he is going to get additional offers, a commitment to Tennessee will not stop those offers from coming along. If he gets a better situation (something closer to home for example), than he could pull a Nunes later on...

Nothing tricky IMO. This is normal recruiting scenarios that happen all the time. Kids commit... other schools continue to pursue and sometimes (more frequently each year), kids change to another school (See Brown, Jackson and Richardson from 2009 class).

I dont remember any QBs who had success at UT who looked like a spaz in college. Think they called it happy feet. I do not agree with the 3 year assessment. He definitely needs 1 year in college but so did Manning. He has a year to develop in High School. The bouncing thing is normal for a young QB. Scroggins is very smooth would love to have him. I just dont remember a guy who could not throw 15 plus with authority suddenly gaining that ability. I could be wrong not a QB coach.

Yeah you can never really tell. How are you suppose to really know how great a kid is going to be at the next level when they have only played three years of HS? There is so much development left for some of these guys so a guy like Rettig could really polish things up in 2-3 of years...which is about the time he would start at UT. A lot can happen to a kid with hard work in 2-3 years.

Thanks Sab. Sounds like all of his bad qualities can be fixed with some good coaching. The fact he has a really strong arm and good frame is definitely a plus. Assuming he has the brains, then he would probably be a good pickup for us. Maybe he could RS his first year while Stephens takes the reigns and then he would be good to go.

His mechanics look way better than Munchie though...Can't believe people were all over him for our next QB prospect.

Rettig has good footwork and a big-time arm...good foundations to start with
