I want him to come but I think he is affraid to take the role as the #1 QB off the top. I think he wants to come in to a school and learn the system and work his way to the starting spot....I wonder if he is affraid that he does not have the talent and Tennessee Fans will eat him for lunch if he does not perform...

IMO, it's unlikely he would have to start in 2010 barring an injury to Stephens.

Jesse is a rising senior from Lakewood High School, 20 minutes from USC. He is ranked according to Rivals as a 4 star, and as of yesterday, the number 3 quarterback in the Rivals 250. He has been highly recruited by basically every major program, and has brought it down to USC, UF, and us. He has taken visits to all of these, and attended camps as well, winning MVP honors at ours and USC's, and probably UF's.

His mother's family is in Memphis, which he keeps mentioning. He has said he doesn't mind the competition of USC's depth chart. Urban Meyer has told him that he plans on changing to a more "Pro-Style" Offense.

When interviewed, he glowed about UT, and the way that the fans painted the rock, and how he loved the coaches. It was also reported that at the camp, he was seen wearing a UT hat, and hugging the coaches.

However, since that time, he has attended USC's camp, received the dream offer from the Trojans. Though after our camp, he seemed a bit bitter that USC waited to offer so long, especially since he was in their backyard.

He has been at the Nike 7 on 7, and now is at the Elite 11, as well as other camps. He is basically the only one of the top quarterbacks for the class of 2010 that is not committed.

His father loves USC and would love to see him play there. However, Jesse has stated that distance is not a factor. He has mentioned that he wants to announce publicly to help the school out in recruiting. It's been thought that Florida is out of the picture and that the only two contenders are UT and USC.

He will be announcing today, but according to Scout, it will be a hidden taping, and the announcement will be made tomorrow on-air on ESPN at 3 p.m. Eastern Time.

College Football Live at 3p.m.(EST) he will announce(hopefully). Sort of like when Robert Marve came on a few months back at 3:30...By the way, did everyone else hear about Marve blowing out the ACL? See Jesse, bad things happen to you when you don't choose VOLS on College Football Live:dunno:

Would Florida or USC really need help with recruiting??

Good Scroggins summary BTW.

I agree. I think alot of these kids are interested, but for now they are taking the safe bet with alot of these schools. If we have a 7-9 win season, have anything that can be seen as an offense, and stay somewhat competative in our big games we will have alot of quality guys signing with us in feb.

I would venture to say that today's recruits become awfully full of themselves and their announcement. I'll add that although he will be a great addition to whichever program he decides on, he'll be one member of a team and not the celebrity he has established himself as through this process. This theory holds true in more and more of these guys which imo, makes me hold them in a diffrent light untill their performance on the feild, and their theology on "team concept" changes. In short, if you wanna go to a school and help build or continue a winning tradition, say so, get your butt on campus and start earning your stripes. Just my recruiting rant for the day. In other related news, I hope he chooses Tennessee and I certainly wish nothing but class act, character players for the two Universities I support.

I edited it to include some of the "clues" that he's dropped, and that's one of them. UF and SC don't need help at all recruiting. We do. So....take your own guess. And thanks!

He will be announcing today, but according to Scout, it will be a hidden taping, and the announcement will be made tomorrow on-air on ESPN at 3 p.m. Eastern Time. This was moved from the original July 25th date that was given.

While some speculate he is all USC, his myspace page (yes, we're going to myspace now) says "I may not be going where everyone thinks I am". He did not commit last week with his teammate and close friend Dion Bailey to USC last week, which makes some think that perhaps he could be going elsewhere.

Tomorrow is one of the SEC Media Days and would bring great attention to one of the SEC schools (UT of UF) If he was to pick them. Some speculate that since he said he wanted to help out the team he picks recruiting, that it leans in UT's favor, since USC or UF don't need help recruiting.

Either way, to sum it up, a really good quarterback has confused the life out of people, enjoyed the spotlight, created a 10,000+ thread on VN, and has given us NOTHING as to guess where he is really going.

Tomorrow at 3:00 on ESPN will be the deciding day, at least for now.
