Well, I am really not going to start getting hopes up. We have to realize that this is another West Coast guy. Like Larry (LWS) says routinely, at the end of the day a majority of these guys stay home. They probably don't freak out about going to another state in the west depending on their offers and their relationships with coaches, but coming all the way out to Tennessee? These kids just end up with the location factor being the giant elephant in the room during their recruitment.

I know we are tops in the nation at recruiting spending, and we've had several West Coast players play here, but Bray is possibly going to blow up this fall with other offers and no one's seen our offense under this new staff yet. We're probably still going to have to bust it extremely hard to land this kid even if he hasn't been our first choice.

What DOES work in our favor is that USC, UCLA, Cal, Washington, Arizona State, BYU, Oregon, Oregon State, and Boise State (hell, even Washington State) have all gotten QB commitments at this point. Some of those schools may continue to recruit other QB's and one or two may de-commit here or there, but that is a good deal of the better West Coast teams already having a guy committed. Some schools in that mix that run a more spread-based offense like Oregon probably won't jump after Bray anyways. And I think SDSU will still fight hard to keep him.

I like that we jumped in now on this kid, but I'm not going to assume we're even going to get a quarterback this year anymore.

But hell guys I was faster than this guy in the 6th grade. I dont think I have ever seen a fourty time that bad for a QB. He needs to start doing some pliometrics to get that fourty time down.

Doubt it is very accurate. At 6'6", he would be at 40 in 4 strides. That shouldn't take 5 and a half secs.:)

He looks to have plenty of speed here:

If this is really Bray (others seem to think otherwise) its still not THAT impressive. You would assume he's a either a FR, SO or JR...thats pretty much subpar. He came in at about 56 seconds. I've coached 2 kids in the last 2 years that can top a 56 consistently. They're brothers, and the younger one is about 5'4. Still, thats faster than a 5.4 40. I'd say he comes in around 5.0-5.2.

Sidenote: After watching that again, I'm skeptical. Thats a horrid track and it looks as if someone just grabbed a couple practice jerseys and threw on those kids. It may be some random JR High track meet...who knows.

That's funny, I ran track and we didn't start the 400 lined up side by side. That sucks for the guy on the outside lane.

Not trying to be negative but how in the hell does he run a 5.4 fourty. Hell O-lineman are faster than that.

Honestly though, if Byron Leftwich can play with a broken leg than I'm not worried about how fast this guy is. Besides, Stone Cold Ausmus will get him into the best shape possible if Tennessee signs him.

Exactly. Should be staggered...should maintain lane or run 2 heats. Thats pretty much bush league right there.

I just watched this same kid run the 110 and I don't doubt for a minute that this is Bray and he is that slow. I coach a 14 year old skinny, blonde girl that would've taken that 110 going away....of course, she probably can't throw a football, so its all moot.

I don't care how fast Peyton actually ran the 40, there were times he looked like a buffalo meandering around the watering hole if he had to scramble. Peyton has also been pretty effective at the QB sneak, something that I don't necessarily think you need to be busting it at your top speed in order to accomplish. I would place Bray's 40-time (which none of us knows how this result was timed) about 2nd to last in importance in this whole charade.

That's definitely not Tyler running around the track. As far as height and weight go, he definitely has the potential to put it on but be careful what you wish for as his dad is 6'10 , 350lbs. Tyler started stretching in height during his soph. year and his body is still trying to catch up. He will only grow maybe one more inch if that.

A bit off topic but, why does it seem that ALL of the qb prospects this year are on the west coast?!? Are there not any big time prospects in any other region this year?

Looking at measureable....Grayson>>>>>>>>Bray IMO.

Grayson plays against vastly inferior competition. Bray is 6'6" and hasn't finished maturing physically yet. Bray reportedly has a much better and more accurate arm.

If CLK wants a true pro-style prospect... Bray>>Grayson.

Weight at this point is a non issue. He'll put on 10-20 lbs easily this year and another 10-20 lbs after a year in a college S&C program. By the time he's ready to play college ball he'll easily be in the 230 lb range and probably a lot quicker/faster as his strength catches up to his height.

how much weight can a kid conceivably gain in a year? i really like what i am hearing about this kid, but we arent in a great position to redshirt a qb, unless Ginger or Lamaison suprises.

I think Ainge went from 6'6" 190 up to around 210 between his Fr and So seasons. This kid is alot like Ainge from a pure measurables stand point. I'm not sure anyone believes Ainge ever ran a 4.6.


BTW- One of the ND commits makes more sense as the big fish/silent commit.
