Back to Rettig just a reminder for those who think he is going to BC,

Does Rettig have a favorite?

“I would have to say Tennessee,” Rettig said. “It’s such a good fit for me, the offense and I are a perfect fit. I have a stronger relationship with this coaching staff than anyone else.”

keep that quote somewhere and we can see if it turns out to be true... so many times, I've seen a kid say something like that and two days later he is committed elsewhere. :cray:

I think that when it comes to football that UT makes the most sense, but my concern is that this kid is highly intelligent and Catholic. In that case, he would be attracted to BC. He also lives in a metropolitan area and Knoxville is a big small town in comparison.

I really hope that football, coaching, gameday atmosphere, tradition, Neyland Stadium, and the SEC push us over the top with him. If I were Kiffin I would be texting him Peyton's cell phone number as a reference. Peyton would sell the tradition of SEC football and being a Volunteer. I have no doubt as to what Casey is selling him. Peyton in one ear and Casey in the other = done deal.

That's Brunetti..."I've been a BIG Vol fan all my life...I'm firmly committed to WVU."

Getting back to Rettig...it's likely CLK has offered him as one of the 2 QB's we take, regardless of Jesse's decision. It's his to take. And that may be why he's thinking things over...maybe if Jesse commits elsewhere he doesn't have to compete as hard for the starting spot.
If Jesse does commit to UT, does he wait and see if USC offers him, and would he be comfortable in a more concrete situation, where he definitely would be sitting for 3+yrs? With him and Jesse, it's simply a battle royale between the two, and IMHO, there's not a great degree of separation between the them.

In fact, if he and Scroggins were to both commit, they will certainly lure more talent to join them, as the key position in the offense would then be considered a strength. He'd have better players around him if Jesse comes along for the ride too, than otherwise.

Quite possible that Chase is a silent commit, and the staff asked him to hold off announcing until Jesse announces his decision. Instead of making him wait outright before offering, this makes the most sense, IMHO.

That's why I think they went ahead and offered following the Super 7 camp. He has shown increasing improvement throughout the summer camps, and I think that has helped solidify him as 1 of 2. Now, even if Scroggins does commit to UT, we are in a better position with Chase, having offered him beforehand, and our depth chart situation is still considerably better than USC's.

To his credit, Casey also came in with a highly rated QB prospect...Rattay. Same thing with Peyton. There were NO guarantees that Peyton would be the next starter, as he too came in with another highly rated prospect, Brandon Stewart (whom I liked a lot, too).

I hope that Casey points this out to him. The inherent drawback to playing for a top-level team, is there WILL be top-level competition. With that in mind, Tennessee currently presents the most fluid situation among like programs.

This is quite possible, but have you given the thought that Jesse might be the silent commit and our staff is waiting on Rettig.

Besides Rettig being a great prospect, do you think the offer was coming to Rettig once the staff was more confident about Jesse.

Scroggins date to commit is put out there because our staff is trying to apply pressure to Rettig committing before him....

As long as we get one of the 2 i will be okay. Rettig may end up being rated higher then Scroggins when its all said and done. He is riding the Camp wave.

Rettig could certainly stand to improve his stock with a strong senior campaign. What concerns me is that the staff wasn't sold on him even after seeing him in person at camp.

Look at the time that expired before he finally got that offer and the QBs that dropped off the board since he attended our camp. It's pretty clear that the coaches were divided on whether to offer him and came to the conclusion finally that they did not have a choice.

Not going to be real exciting when he announces the news. Wow...what if we beat ourselves up over this as him being all USC and then he announces his committment for UT - We will have heart attacks on here

what about Newton as 1 and Rettig as 2? I know he hasnt really been evaluated yet, but he has more talent then anyone out there.
