We missed out on QBs for several classes prior to that year. It was obvious that Vols fell out of favor with top QB prospects.

Now that Bray is in place and we have an offensive system in place that is QB friendly, we are not having much trouble finding QBs who want to come to UT.

Like who?

All the good quarterbacks do not want to come to UT to sit behind Bray,Worley, and Peterman for 4 years or more. Next year we will get a top flight QB. No worries.

I'm sure they are scared off by a guy who is a junior who has only beaten Cincinnati and Vandy.. and a freshman that has never played.. and an average sophomore.

What's your take on our QB recruiting this year?

I haven't been following recruiting closely this year - but I can promise schools with much better, deeper and more proven talent at the QB position are recruiting QBs just fine.. so they aren't scared off by Bray (who will be gone before most are ready to play) and an average QB.. and a freshman..

It sounds good on paper, but I'd like to see the depth charts of where some of these big time QB's that we're missing on look like. Can you honestly name a situation in the SEC that is deeper than UT is perceived to be at QB? Off the top of my head I think Georgia, Florida, Bama, LSU and USC are all more attractive to top freshman recruits IMO.

Please tell me how UT is deep at QB.. We have an apparently really talented junior that has never won anything significant nor played a full season... A sophomore who seemed to be average or below average talent wise... And a true freshman who seems to have some potential but a ceiling still not close to as high as Bray's.

All valid points, but if what has been said thus far is true, Peterman has the potential to be special.

Look who Worley played against as a true freshman, in the SEC nonetheless. Chill out before you call him average.

That's why I said perceived. The perception is that if a kid comes to UT he is immediately behind Bray, who could stay for his senior year, then he would face beating out a junior in Worley and also a hyped RS freshman in Peterman (hopefully). No matter how you spin it that is a fairly daunting depth chart for a kid unless he plans on redshirting a year and maybe sitting another. No one is beating out Bray next year and hopefully Peterman/Worley step right in after that. While I want to grab the best QB we can this year, I think 2014 will be much more attractive to recruits.

Not to mention our WR position could be completely different. Our incoming freshman having good seasons would go a long way in QB recruiting IMO.

No that is not a daunting depth chart at all - that is a very favorable depth chart for a QB coming in. QBs don't expect to come in and start their first year... just doesn't typically happen at good programs. Bray would by the time a freshman and this years class would be ready to play.

Worley just has a slightly better arm than Rick Clausen... and we just don't know much about Peterman.. an elite HS QB is not going to be scared off by Worley and Peterman.. and they would only have to wait behind Bray 1 year.

Yes, they would be waiting one year and if the combo of Peterman/Worley is as good as perceived, they would wait longer unless they beat them out. Which is my point. Why would a stud freshman QB come here when he could go to pretty much any other SEC school and compete for playing time next year. Tyler Wilson gone, AJ McCarron and no one else, LSU has more questions than UT, Aaron Murray and who else? What SEC school is in a better position than us at QB?

I think we, Vol fans, are the only people who perceive the Peterman/Worley combo as good. People on the outside don't see it that way.

The issue is we haven't put a successful qb in the league since manning. If our current trio can reach their potential then you will see qbs lining up no matter the depth chart. Look at USC run it all started with Carson Palmer who ha crazy physical talent but mentally just never has grasped what it take to be the top 5 qb he can be. Sound familiar? A lot of similarities between him and bray. Hopefully bray can have that big one yr and set up a run on stud qbs

Really. If you think top QB prospects worry about those two then I think you're mistaken. They have potential, but that's all they have at this point.

I would bet they worry more about those two than any other backup tandem currently on an SEC roster.

Worley and Peterman are perceived as good so I don't see your argument.

Palmer had all the tools, had he gone to any other team other than Cincy he'd be a Super Bowl champion right now. His injuries really hurt his career.
