'15 TX QB Quinten Dormady (UT Commit 6/9/14)

I think Freak is trying to tell us something...

 

[VolSteve]

Dobbs rushed for 263 yards in five games for a 52.6 average per game. Had he played the entire season at QB his rush total would have been approx 631 yds (based upon extrapolation). Had Dobbs played all season and had around that rushing total that would been a little over 25% of the total rushing yards for the team. That number would have been consistent with CBJ's QB's historical rushing percentages...

I would have rather had a few touchdown passes than his rushing yards. But you just go on beating the dead horse you seem to enjoy beating.

Heh... That's based on your web history.

Exactly... Volnation

Missed how to read apparently.

Kidding. I totally trust player evaluation of this staff.

I know everyone is excited and you should be - but let me make you even more excited.

Had he not had the injury he would be a 5* across the board #1 QB and #1 overall prospect right now.

Best high school QB prospect in a decade maybe longer.

Continue the boomage.

IMO Bama fans hoping TG commits to UT so Dormady flips to them.

Butch Jones would be good with that.

Wrong

 

[VolSteve]

I'd like to know who voted the other 212 times :question:

I figured those were all your votes.

 

[k-town_king]

Wrong

TG is CBJ's top target, he is just waiting and we may not get him. We have had the full court press on him and we are still recruiting him. If we get a commit after his season I'm sure Jones would take it no matter if QD would decommit or not.

I really really wish people who don't follow recruiting closely would stay away from these threads. You don't know what the **** you are talking about.

This is the equivalent of one of those vague, annoying Facebook posts intended to provoke a response.

Examples: "Well, that sucked." or "I'm done."

You win. I bit.

tap the brakes a little bit. Just a little bit though.

 

[VolSteve]

Explain how CBJ "adjusted" his system last year?

He and his offensive coordinator lamented numerous times that Worley needed to carry the ball more and Worley reiterated the same comments.

I think Dormady is a really nice pro-style QB. As I said before though I hope that he can improve his running ability and his zone read skills.

Maybe instead of trying to convince VolNation that Dormady is the wrong QB for Butch's system, you need to make an appt. to meet with Butch and explain to him why he was wrong to accept the commitment of this guy who clearly does not fit his system. For what UT pays our coach he should be able to do a better job of assessing system needs. Since he struggles with that though I'm sure he would like to have you help evaluate for him in the future.

Wat?

IMO, CBJ has always been going after TG pretty hard for a while now. But, Butch has also been looking at other targets aka Gentry, Dormady, etc. due to the fact TG wants to wait out until NSD. We don't have the luxury to wait that long and miss out on TG. Butch did the right thing here. Take a QB that is a leader, works hard, and is an EE. He found that in QD and I believe TG's ship has now sailed. I also do not believe we will take TG's commitment in the future either. Go vols, GBO, Dormady for Heisman, etc.

It's true.

6'4 210 pound high school QB's don't grow on trees.

Add in the already NFL level velocity on his throws, overall arm strength and accuracy and you have yourself a blue chipper.

The people who do follow recruiting on here don't know what they are talking about either. Oh, in their minds they do, but they are full of **** just like everyone else.

how about shenanigans?

Why would we not take a commit from a top 10 player, number one target, best prospect at a position of need? We will try until he signs to get him. CBJ took QD just in case. You don't want to wait till Dec not get picked and miss on all good qbs. QD is good but no TG. If TG wants to come CBJ will be jumping through the roof.

May I borrow your orange-hued sunglasses and have a glass of kool-aid? :hi:

Do some research and get back at me.

I think you'll take this statement back.

 

[TriedAndTrueVOL]

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.

Solid post. :good!:
