I'm with you Vader. I've been hyping him since day one. His stats are as good as Scroggins and he DEFINITELY is interested in UT Not any of that wishy wash stuff. He's a so called "Duel Threat" but he threw for 30 TD's last season. You can't say he's a run first guy.

Does anyone know if he's coming to camp??

Yes, he'll be in Knoxville next week for camp.

Nothing like coming to a message board for some good, wholesome college football conversation and being pelted directly in the eyeball by a freshly pitched pants-tent. Thank you sir, sincerely

Now I'm going to go scrub my eyes with sandpaper for the next hour.

I guess I don't have to keep quoting this picture

But I'm going to anyway

To answer the question, even though it's ~0% chance of this happening, I would gladly deal with the embarrassment of an inopportune denim-tepee in exchange for these three commits. That would be less like a recruiting statement... and more like a pimp slap on the collective face of our recruiting competition. The three recruits that is, not the khaki-gazebo. Okay I'll stop with the erection euphemisms. And sorry for saying erection.

Whoever's still reading this, stop thinking about male genitals. You're creeping everyone out.

Yes I am this bored.

same here, i got alot of flack in another thread for saying i would rather have him over scoggins and heaps and i stand by that, this kid is the real deal and we need to be recurting louisana hard, those boys down there are everybit as good as the florida kids everyone are so high on, even though alot of them were missplaced to the east TX area. i wil be ticked pink with legaux and bortless and or possibley another kid from the ralaghie NC area named henderson that i am going to make a thread about in a little bit.

More flack for you! Munchie is cool and all, definitely the top dual threat guy we're after IMO. But above Heaps and Scroggins? No. No no no no. Heaps is #1 and Scroggins #2 on our staff's board, and I think they might know a little more than you do about who would work best in their system. So just no. No sir :no:

Often times posts catch flack because they absolutely deserve to. This is a spectacular example. You are not better than the staff at evaluating talent. You disagree strongly with them about the QB evaluations (because Munchie's not option #3 either). Therefore, you are plainly and simply just wrong as far as I'm concerned. I'm not saying that to be mean but that's just the way it is. Good luck arguing otherwise.

not being a smart ass but, i know i cant spell, but can some of you people read ? i stated that I would rather have legaux as those 2 and none of us really know who will turn out to be the better guy, if the coaches dont think he could fit our system as good as anyone else he would have an offer.

also you people are to freaking narrow minded on the dual threat vs pro style BS, if a kid is a good quarter back fundimentaly and does all the things a pro style qb can do just as well (this is the case with this kid) plus has some wheels to boot he is gona get the "dual threat" label, by definition that is the meaning of it but some people cant grasp this. its the same deal with the newton kid.

You are making assumptions about me that are entirely incorrect. I've watched plenty of film on all the guys we've offered and have tried to find out what kind of competition they play against (because it can vary wildly in every state) to put their stats in context. I also tend to listen to our staff's opinion on guys, since they are getting paid handsomely to do so. My opinion is definitely NOT based on which type of QB the guy is or how many stars he has on Rivals. That's the second time you've been just completely, utterly wrong, if you're keeping count.

You clearly do not know how the offer system generally works. Just because a handful of players at a position all have offers does not mean the are equal in the staff's eyes. The coaches control when they will or won't take a commitment. So even though Munchie has been offered, he is #4 or 5 on the recruiting board. Reviewing, that means the coaches believe Heaps and Scroggins would be better fits in our system and thus are higher priorities. Again, third time of you being fall-on-your-face wrong.

If you're going to "stand by" your silly Munchie over Heaps/Scroggins diddle, don't act like a baby when someone debates you about it. I'm going to count this as only a half-wrong, because I'm a nice guy.

I count 3.5 fails in 2 posts. Just give it up for now. I'll forget and forgive these epically off-target posts and all will be well.

if you want a debate, find something debatable, because you debating my preference or opinnion is kinda assinine, this is the kid I want to be our qb.
is that hard to understand ? im sure you going to say why? and say how could this be when our coaches have the other kids higher ? personal reasons the kid reminds me so much of my faveroit all time vol qb tony robinson, and he is a southren kid in the lousiana area, and im sure he faced alot of adversity during the hurricanes, i want to see him get his shot here, i never said i think he is BETTER than heaps or scroggins, but i do PERSONALY belive he is just as good and i wouldnt be saying if i hadnt watched just as much film as you, im no expert on QB's i played the posistion all my childhood life and rode the pine a couple years at a small college, and now i coach qb's at my old hs. but i dont pretend to know anywhere close to as much about quarterbacking as our staff, hell there is a good chance you know more about it than i do.

while i can't say that munchie is my top choice at qb, i do feel that the dual-threat label is a bit unfair...he's 6'4 and has a strong accurate arm, why should his running ability be seen as a detriment when it really is just another weapon that the defense has to guard against. i think we all concentrate on labels a little too much.

I think this is the exact definition of what it means to be a "dual-threat" QB - someone who can hurt you or be a 'threat' with their arm as well as their legs. IMO the problem occurs when there is a stigma that these guys are run-first QB's, which I think is something entirely different. Using these parameters I think you can classify Scroggins as well as Legaux as dual-threat whereas (from what I remember of him @ Florida) Newton would be a run-first guy.

Hopefully, if he isn't our #3 QB target now (which I'm not 100% convinced he isn't already), he will be after camp. I don't think anyone has seen him throw in person except Frank Wilson have they? That's purty impressive to get an offer without being seen in person by CLK, Chaney, or Reaves...

Munchie isn't my top choice either. I guess he would be my #3. And I don't think the Vol staff is getting too caught up in all this "dual threat QB" stuff. He has an offer to play QB in Knoxville, and only 3 other uncommitted players can say that. He is, at worst, the #4 QB on the Vols board, and when you consider one QB ahead of him is the best QB in the nation and another QB ahead of him is dominating at the combines and just recieved offers from UF and USC, Munchie looks even better...

No, he shot this idea down in yesterday's Scout article. He said that he has 12 offers and they all want him to play QB, and no team has even mentioned anything about him possibly playing another position...

I say get him to commit to UT - get him on campus and let him compete against the other QB UT gets: Hendrix/Scroggins and/or a JC QB

If he beats them out great. If not, offer him an opportunity to play and get to the next level at another position.

It's a win-win.

We will offer him for what he wants to be offered as....I was talking about down the road, I just don't see him being a QB here. JMO

He is a talent though....his vids don't impress me too much...mechanics need to be worked on...needs bulk on his frame....he does appear to have nice touch and the ability to throw effectively on the run

I was impressed by his video. I mean, it didn't blow me away or anything. But some of those throws he was making were BOMBS, and they were right on the money...

I think you are looking at the wrong things when evaluating QB's. Funny also that you are so high on a guy whose video didn't "blow you away." I guess it's a testament to you putting too much emphasis on stats over your own two eyes.

:shakehead: You are killing me with this Hendrix crap. He has grown on me, believe it or not. But I just don't think he is Jesus Christ reincarnated like you do. Completion percentage and INTs are things that I really look at on stats and what level of competition they are doing it against...

And how I not be high on him? He has a Vol offer!!! He also got offered without any of the 3 offensive guys seeing him in person (that I know of). That's impressive to me...

I'm only talking about Legaux. I said nothing about Hendrix. I don't think he's Jesus Christ either, I just think he's the next best QB behind Heaps and Scroggins.

That's a fair opinion and you may very well end up being right. The only thing I'm saying is that it isn't an open and shut case that your opinion is right...:good!:

When it comes to Mason vs. Hendrix I think it is. At least at this point.

I have actually seen a bunch of QB's vids with better mechanics than Legaux. He just doesn't scream QB to me when I see him. He would be one helluva WR at 6'4 200lbs. Good skills with the ball in his hand. He needs to stop that palming crap though.
