Some of the questions are funny. "Do you plan to help recruit more kids to the 2015 class"?

I mean do they EVER think a kid will respond to that with, "Heck no, I'm not paid to be a recruiter".

It all goes back to Butch asking Ainge play the role of a hype man on the radio. Nobody has come out and directly stated this but Ainge said that Butch asked him to play a role in this program as a radio show host.

Ainge gets these kids, they throw them easy questions, the kid responds the way he's supposed to, and then TSR starts pumping orange koolaid about how amazing the kid is.

I like that a station is All Vol but the leading questions and such can get a bit old after a while. "what's the best program in the country that's located in Knoxville?"

EE to me basically means the kid is a soph by the time his true freshman fall begins. Imagine if Dobbs could've been here last Jan instead of showing up in August to learn a new system and have to go play against top 10 competition.

I also loved the one "as far as your love of the game, are you more Brett favre or Peyton manning?"

Wtf does that even mean?? Which of those two hall of famers didn't love the game?

99% of sports "journalists" are a disgrace to the profession. The questions they come up with in interviews are embarrassing and leave the reader saying either "I know exactly how the interviewee is going to answer" or "I don't care how the interviewee answers."

QD sounds like a leader and a winner...willing to do anything to make the TEAM better...
add in EE on top of it,and I'm liking this commitment even more than I already did...

It wasn't love of the game it was style of play. They asked him are you more of a gamer/gunslinger aka favre, or a film junky aka manning. He said Manning

I've been all in for a while on this one. I try to be as realistic as I can when looking at UT football. I honestly think this kid will be one of the steals of the 2015 class. IMO a couple early trips to TX by the UT coaches had us in play at just the right time here.

Yeah, I actually thought Dobbs/Ferguson when they asked the question. Dobbs is more of the preparation/film study guy and Riley apparently was more the go out on the field and let it rip guy.

Dobbs/Manning
Ferguson/Favre

Nope ainge LITERALLY said "in terms of love of the game"

Edit: I'm sure he obviously meant style of play but he built up the question asking about if he enjoyed the chalkboard/whiteboard then the love of the game quote.

I'm sure he meant "are you a student of the game or a raw ability guy" but throwing in "love of the game" and those examples was a poor choice.

Not a chance ....

This is a forum for discussion. But I guess everyone is too busy high-fiving and "booming" to actually discuss how this QB fits into CBJ's offensive scheme. And despite what people are saying CBJ certainly has an offensive scheme that necessitates a QB that can beat you with his legs.

Butch saw the guy in camp, offered and accepted a commitment, but the kid doesn't fit a CBJ offense?

Go cheer for Bama Forest Gump.

C'mon DTO,Patricia went to Barb Jones football clinic last week and knows exactly what type of QB that UT needs after watching film with all the other lovely UT ladies...

I'm pretty excited about this kid. We've landed a QB from the state of Texas which has been a breeding ground for successful NCAA QBs. Why not Dormandy? Brees, Young, Luck, RGIII, Stafford, Dalton and Mallett immediately come to mind.

A day late, but this is my very first .... BOOOOOOOM!

Interesting comments considering we already had a qb committed.

I know if I were Jennings I would be thinking WTH. I noticed both Rivals and Scout called Dormady UT's 1st QB commitment for 2015. I get that Jennings is considered an "ATH". I also am pretty sure both sites are well aware he will start out as a QB. If UT took him as a QB, why not refer to him as one? JMO

I think the difference in opinions lies in how often the QB needs to carry the ball for the offense to work. You obviously feel they need to contribute about 25% of the teams rushing yards. Others who have been posting on this site (RECRUITING FORUM) for an extended period of time have been saying let the RB's and receivers make the MAJORITY of the plays, and let the QB run 5-6 times a game to keep the defense honest. To my knowledge, nobody on this thread has said the QB should not be able to run SOME, but why recruit all the talent at the other positions if you are not going to use them?

I am not stating an opinion about how many times the QB's should carry the ball!

I am pointing what the statistics establish in regards to what % of rushing yards CBJ's QB's have contributed to total rushing yards from his seasons at Cinci and Cent. Mich. That is his offense - I did not make up those statistics.

Prior to CBJ's arrival at UT his QBs (at Cinci and Central Mich) RAN the ball on no less than 20.9% of all run plays - one year his QB's accounted for 46% of all run plays.

Those are not opinions but rather statistical facts. How effective was last year's offense with Worley under center - everyone in the league new he was not a run a threat which hindered the offense. Couple that with CBJ's apparent refusal to tailor the system to Worley and his offensive line's ability and it made for a tough year.

Oh and Dormady can run so well that in his soph campaign he rushed for a whopping -38 yards on 18 attempts.

Some keys to me:
-Age. He is already 18 years old and physically more mature than his contemporaries. Probably more mentally mature as well.

-EE. He will be an almost 19 year old guy going through spring practice next season. A 19 year old guy with a spring session of practice, weightlifting, nutrition, time working with WRs, and film/playbook study. He will be in a much better position to potentially contribute, if need be, as a FR than most.

-The Injury. Obviously not ideal to miss your JR season in HS as a QB, and I feel that led to him being under the radar. However, he essentially served as his team's QB coach and handpicked his replacement and trained him all summer. That is a leadership quality that cannot be understated. An obvious sign of being a coach's son. The kid is a leader, and a year of watching football from the sidelines didn't go wasted for him.

I'm not going to call this kid Peyton Manning because Manming had all those leadership qualities AND elite physical ability. That remains to be seen for Dormady. However, from a leadership, maturity, and football junkie standpoint, he seems to have a lot of Manning-esque qualities. If he has even half of PM's physical abilities, we have a winner.

He was to busy dropping dimes in the end zone.

Hey Freak....

You think we could get some badges to award to posters based on their past post history...? Have it show up under their name?

Maybe an "emotional" badge for the knee jerkers?

Possibly a "dunce" badge for posters who speak "truth" and consistently get proved wrong...

Also a "sheep" badge for the guys who complain about stars given by a person who never played football...

Just a thought...

Maybe upon arriving to Tennessee and the SEC CBJ decided his QB "prototype" from his central michigan/cinci days needed a bit of a tweeking? :dunno:

I think this speaks more to Butch's ability to adjust systems to better fit his players' talents, rather than how QB might not fit one of the systems that Butch is recruiting him for.
