'10 LA QB Benton "Munchie" Legaux

Honestly, I think if the offer from UT was indeed as a QB ONLY.....he would have signed with us month ago. If he wants to be a QB, I understand that.....but from watching some of his tape, I am not even sure he is accurate enough for Oregons offense. They have what I consider a "pro style spread". This kid looks like he belongs at a school like UF, WVU or now MSU.

That's the thing, I don't think he ever had a committable offer. I've been telling LV that for weeks. If he had a committable offer, he'd be a Vol by now. He only wants to play QB so there really is no chance of him getting an offer here at another position. He's made it clear he only wants to play QB. The coaches likely told him if he came to camp and proved himself as a QB, he'd likely get an offer and he flubbed it a little. No one I have read from Scout, Rivals, or anywhere else but Munchie has ever said he had an offer at UT at QB. In fact, Hubbs, Bryant, and X all said his offer was contingent on how he did at camp.

That makes sense. By all accounts he was a "lock" if we offered. That the only reason why we would have fallen from his #1 choice, if we just ended up offering him as an ATH and not just a QB. I hope he realizes his best shot at an NFL or NCAA future is at a different position. I guess ya never know though, he could blow up his SR year and end up a top 10 QB prospect, but, IMHO, he has a LOT of work to do to be under center for a big time, pro-style offensive school.

He completed 203 of 295 in 2008. Isn't that fairly accurate?

Which tape are you referring to? He makes a lot of great throws in his youtube video.

Vols specific about QB qualities for 2010; Kiffin rates brains ahead of big arm : Football : GoVolsXtra.com

according to this article kiff and cheany agree with me, quarterbacks are made not born. you have alot to learn about evaluation. you should make your statements as opinnions and not to sound as fact.

and so you know, a little birdie from new orleans told me he has ben a little dinged up the past few weeks but im not going into anymore detal other than that. im pretty tired of you putting this kid down, i mean it would be differnt if you were not an amature with delouisns of grandure of being the next lemming or something.

Still doesn't change the fact that Munchie is far behind in his development as a passer, and our coaches know that they need to get someone in who can contribute early.

And even if he has been dinged up, I'm sure the coaches know about it. That doesn't change the fact that by all accounts the coaches have basically dropped him and he doesn't have an offer to play QB for us.

first off i would like to know how you know he dosent have an offer to play QB here? i dont think he would get an offer to play anywhere but QB.

2nd i know the coaches know it.

3rd if he does come here he will be a guy to be developed, he wont contribute early, i have no elousions of that. i wouldnt see him playing untill being a redshirt Jr. but he has the tools to be be a solid QB.

guys we are stuck with crompton and stephins for the time being, and we CAN WIN with those 2 guys, no matter who comes in they are gona need work, even scroggins, i mean come on how many are left on the "board" that even take snaps from under center.

I don't know it for a fact, but it's fairly easy to assume considering Hubbs, Bryant, and X all said that his ability to be our QB of the future would depend on camp, where he sucked it up. Also, what have we heard from or about him since the camp? Basically nothing. That makes it seem like we pretty much dropped him from the board.

And a redshirt junior? Really? Theres a pretty decent chance that our staff will be gone by then. I think they realize that and aren't going to take on a project that large for now.

most likely we will have lamiason, and another prep ahead of him. and i really belive in this staff, i think 2010 we are searouis SEC contenders with stephins or lamaison behind center.

2010? Really? Uh, we're going to have basically no offensive line depth or talent and a severe issue at QB. On defense theres a 99% chance we lose Berry, and could lose several other good players.

Theres a reason most people think 2010 is going to be the worst out of the next 3 years. 2011 is going to be the make or break year. Either the staff is going to be fired or get an extension after that.

raw talent alone = 33% of championships, the other 66 % is coaching. for years when fulmer was on top of his game even after 98 look at the classes we had, and how many more chamionships did we win ????

this is the best coaching staff in the buisness imo, and i think they can get theese kids to belive in theirself, and they DIDNT last year. thats why we will win. say what you want about FL and Bama last year, but when they walked on the field you could tell they were ready willing and able.

You still have to have talent to coach either way. Who is he gonna coach up? William Brimfield? Carson Anderson? At this point, it looks like Cody Sullins and Aaron Douglas will be the only solid OL we actually have in 2010

Whenever Florida and LSU are trotting out the best talent in the country, along with that great coaching, we won't stand a chance. Unless we can somehow get several offensive linemen who are able to come in and contribute early (very very rare), than we'll have no offense in 2010.

i will admit im praying for henderson to come in, and stone, to play right away, and i belive we can get them.

Even with Henderson though, that leaves us with no guards basically, and no depth behind any of them.

Some of the people we'll have on scholly
Carson Anderson
William Brimfield
Jarrod Shaw
Dallas Thomas
Kevin Revis
JerQuari Schoefield

Would you really trust 2 of them to start, and the rest of them to be SEC caliber backups?

I really don't get why you reference that article in relation to Munchie, because by all accounts he has the arm but not the smarts to play QB at this level. His decision making is very questionable as you can see in his spring game when they show all his plays not just the highlights. And his accuracy is suspect. Basically all he has going for him is his arm. And that can only take you so far.


I don't get you hanging on to this kid and touting him as a legitimate prospect when it's clear that the coaches disagree with you and have moved on. If our options dwindled to the point where we had to accept a commitment from Munchie Legaux, we would really be in trouble.

Wheaton, I know you keep referring to his stats, but there are plenty of reasons he was able to put up big stats in High School. The tape on him tells a different tale. He is more raw than Blake Bell, but with Bell you have plenty you can work with. With Munchie, I think his throwing motion is already developed and there's not much tweaking you can do with it.

Tee was heavily recruited if I remember right. Bama wanted him bad - so did Auburn. He almost signed with Auburn. It was kind of the same situation where he could have been converted to a WR and I think some schools wanted to do that. Auburn and UT wanted him at QB and when Rodney Garner, who was recruiting him, left Auburn for UT -- Tee followed him to Tennessee.

There wasn't remotely the same level of coverage back in the mid 90s, but the Tee Martin recruitment became pretty infamous; especially after he won a national title. Bammers and Barners just don't handle losing a stud in state QBs very well. :)

You're probably right, but my point really is that college football is full of "big arm/small brain" guys. I can think of several that have graced Neyland Stadium in the past 20 years.

You are right in a sense, but that isn't the kind of guy Kiffin recruits I don't think. IMO you have to have very, very good players around a guy like that, namely an offensive line that gives him time to make the perfect throw and receivers that can make plays on balls that aren't the most precise of throws for him to have championship type success. JMO of course.

Go away Carpet Munchie

In all seriousness the kid is a project. He may turn out to be a good prospect but it maytake two years of hard work. We do not have the luxury of time at the QB position. Jesse has more tools now and that's why he is our number 1
