No clue please inform.
I think he will blow up with offers once he has senior year footage to show. If he likes us and we haven't even offered the kid I think he could be the #2 behind scroogins.
Sorry...Cam Newton is a horrible fit for us. The guy lacks the arm to play QB in our system. I expect Crompton to be serviceable this year. Stephens will have his shot next year to compete with whoever CLK brings in this year. I really think that Lamaison may be the short term answer if Scroggins is out...but if we don't get Scroggins, Rettig seems like a must. RS him a year and then sit him a year behind Lamaison. Rettig could have 3 solid years of PT (and a total of 5 years in the system).
Still...Scroggins > this
There is a guy on Scout who does some very good ratings of QBs imo. He is NOT a professional, but he gives very thorough and detailed assessments of each QB that UT is interested in. He just finished rating Rettig. He rates players on a scale of 1-5 and considers Peyton Manning to be a 5. Here's the ratings he has done so far:
Jake Heaps 4.6
Nick Lamaison 4.4
Jesse Scroggins 4.2
Andrew Hendrix 4.1
Chase Rettig 4.0
Munchie Legaux 3.8
I disagree, well, to an extent. The ability to make reads is the best quality a QB can have.
So Lamaison is rated higher than Scroggins according to this person. The one thing that puzzles me on Lamaison is that no one picked up on him before he went to Juco. I have read a few things about him on JCfootball and the posters there say he is a very accurate passer, very good a reading defenses, but can't scramble very well.
