I do not. He is about as big of a project QB as I have seen. I do think UT is in very good shape with landing Austin Kendall for the 2016 class. I feel very good about either Fergs or Dobbs being the guy in 2015 and 2016. Maybe even 2017. I feel Kendall is a great talent and could be a starting QB at Tennessee. I could see a scenario playing out where any QB UT gets in 2015 may not see a lot of PT. Land Gentry and IMO he would have a chance to play. I just don't think 2 QBs in 2015 is a huge need. I'd rather see them take 1 and use the other spot for another OL, DL, or LB. Same with taking 2 RBs. IMO 1 is fine having landed 3 great ones in 2014.

Gotcha. Just seems extremely risky banking on an elite QB for 2016

If we can land Ordway and Abernathy, I'll feel good with just taking 2. Also getting Griffin at S.

I know the LS is from TN, but I would much rather give his scholarship to a player at a HUGE position of need... And I honestly believe CB is one of the biggest positions of need on this team right now... and I really think that now after seeing how much our CBs got manhandled in the O&W game.

They may end up deciding to do that. Problem is if they do it could end up like Horky last year. As long as there is a good school willing to offer the ship, most kids will take it vs pay their own way. A LS is easy to look over till you don't have a quality one on the roster.

I agree. We need a LS this class. And if it takes a scholly then I'm ok with it.

Same here. I think if we got Horky last class we would've asked Riley to walkon and would be in a better spot as a whole but that's the past. Like you said we needed one for sure, the only way to ensure that was to offer a good one who loves Tennessee.

Definitely. LS is a forgotten man until you don't have a good one. I'm of the opinion you always need at least a couple good ones on your roster.

This would be a good commitment for the early June camp scene when Gruden is on campus. A legacy commitment? McKenzie decided to wait till NSD so maybe CBJ told Anderson, "it's time".

Yup. :loco:


And as I write the above, the CB predictions to bama start to roll in. :ermm:

It seems to me like we may have slow played him. But if we slow played him, it doesn't make sense to me that Alabama isn't.

Bama always copies Butch. :)

Why would Bama even want him. He's just a 3* in all the recruiting services. I guess if he commits to bammer, he goes to a 5 *.:)

Quotables from 247...

“I have really just been trying to focus on my team and have a really good spring practice. I thought we had a very good spring under coach Wallace, our new head coach, and I am very thankful for the opportunity to play under coach Wallace. We had our spring game last Saturday and we won 14-7 in two quarters, so it was nice to get a win,” said Anderson.

“I just wanted to improve my overall game. There are always things that I can work on and any pointers coach Wallace gives me I am going to work on. I am just trying to step everything up.”

Now that spring ball has come to an end, Anderson says he's zeroing in on a commitment.

“I am definitely trying to narrow things down and hopefully I can have a decision soon, before the start of the summer. I feel pretty confident in that.

“I definitely think that it is something that can happen in the next three weeks. I feel strongly about that.”

Who's in the hunt for the in-state standout's pledge?

“It is definitely Tennessee, Alabama, LSU, Duke and Miami.

“I don’t have any visits planned right now. I am just hanging out and talking to my family and making sure everybody is one hundred percent.”

The Tennessee legacy gave his thoughts on each of his top schools.

Alabama: “Alabama is such a prestigious school when it comes to winning championships and that is definitely something on my bucket list to do since no one in my family has been able to do that. Winning a championship is huge to me and that is definitely something that I like about Alabama.”

Duke: “The education that you would get at a school like Duke and the coaches that I would play for and the connections that I would make would make for and great opportunity.”

LSU: “It is a different feeling down there. Coach John Chavis is probably my favorite defensive coordinator and I think the world of him. Playing for him would be unbelievable.”

Miami: “Completely different than anything that I have been around before. The palm trees, the atmosphere and the people are different. I really like their linebacker coach and he played in the league, so he knows what he is talking about.”

Tennessee: “Definitely a place I grew up around and a place that I feel comfortable. That is the main thing there.”

“I have a very strong relationship with coach (Billy) Napier and coach (Kevin) Steele. My dad played with coach Steele in college, so I am fortunate to have known him before this whole process started. Him and coach Chavis are two guys that I really look up to how they carry themselves. Coach Napier has been a strong influence and he knows the right things to say.

“I stay in contact with all of these schools a lot. They have all come to see me this spring.”

Obviously context of the question is everything and who knows what else he said, but based on the above quotes, we sound far down on the totem pole.

I think VOL to. No way CBJ is dumb enough to pass or even slow play a kid whos family donates that kind of jack, unless he's terrible, and he's not. If he commits to bummer it's purely his decision.
