Better than TG less drama as well.

About as smooth of a recruitment as possible. Early visit to UT. UT coaches stop in TX to see him throw a couple months later. UT offers. Kid gets bama offer after attending camp there. Kid shows up a week early at UT's camp he was not scheduled to attend. Throws again for coaches during camp. Commits days later. Recruitment over. Off the radar to Tennessee commitment in about 12 days.

The only concern I have with Dormady's recruitment has nothing to do with him directly or our staff's evaluation of his skills. It is, rather, an artifact of history. Compared to the success we have enjoyed over the years in recruiting kids from the West Coast, we have had notoriously bad luck in signing kids from Texas and even worse luck in their retention. Hopefully, Dormady will be an exception to that pattern.

In the five games Josh Dobbs started following Worley's injury he ran the ball 38 total times out of 183 rushing plays which results in a qb who carried the ball 20.7% of all rushing plays. That sir is CBJ's offensive scheme - his tendency - and tracks his historical qb rushing %'s....

He said when he took the job that his system is infallible - He isnt going to just scrap his offensive scheme because of recruiting better higher rated players.

Josh Dobbs was also listed as a Pro-Style QB on Rivals and 247.

I think there are going to be a lot of people who are surprised by how well Worley plays this year.

This. We should have beat Georgia with Worley. We did beat South Carolina. I think with Florida's slow start, we beat them had Worley started. Also, if we had a healthy Worley, we beat Vandy. Easily could have been a 7-8 win season had things been a little different.

I really doubt this. We weren't beating Vandy if we couldn't beat them on fourth and one. Our defense was doing terribly against Murphy also.

Easily could have been 4-8, if Marquez North drops that ball too.

Thank you VolRex...... Finally someone gets it.....

Not to mention that many other major college football programs are using their QBS an integral part of their running game. (Oregon, Cinci, Clemson, Florida State to name a few).

Frankly I prefer a pro-style offense but that is not what CBJ runs.

Please schedule an appointment with Butch so you can tell him how he doesn't know what the hell he is doing and why he should drop the QB he offered and accepted and get one that fits his system and give the rest of us a break.

When explaining his decision to become aTennessee*Volunteer,*Quinten Dormady*uses the word “huge” time and time again.

Part of that “huge” declaration in becoming a part of Big Orange Country is the path the Boerne (Texas) High School talent had to take as surgery to repair his right shoulder caused him to miss all of the 2013 season. At a position that requires full range of motion to power the football downfield with an unnatural motion, that could be a devastating injury.

Thanks to the brilliance of modern medicine and the work ethic to see his dreams realized, Dormady has a chance to not only extend his football career beyond the prep ranks but to do so at a Southeastern Conference university.

The Scout three-star prospect and No. 30 QB in the nation says he came to the decision after a second trip to Knoxville came last week.

“I just felt like it was a good fit for me to go there, and I like the coaches there,” Dormady told InsideTennessee. “I just like everything about it.”

It was arguably Tennessee’s greatest rival that finished second in the running to land the 6-foot-4, 215-pounder.

“Toward the end, I just kind of narrowed it down to Alabama and Tennessee,” Dormady said. “Those were the two that I was debating between.

“I just felt like that (Tennessee opportunity) was a fit, and I want to be a part of something that’s growing and building to win a national championship. I want to be a part of that.

“I went to Alabama earlier in the week and they offered me at their camp. I visited and did that. I really wanted to get back up to Tennessee because I really liked it when I was there over spring break. So that intrigued me. Once I got up there and was around it and got back into the environment, I really felt like that’s where I should be. So, later last week is when I really felt like that’s where I was going to end up.”

Tennessee head coach Butch Jones, offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian and the rest of the staff didn’t have the typical reaction that sometimes comes with news of a commitment.

“I think they were a little shocked at first but they were as excited as I am,” said Dormady, who informed Vols coaches Monday afternoon of his decision. “It will be a fun college experience.”

Jones and Bajakian played pivotal roles in landing the Class of 2015 signal-caller.

“They were definitely a huge factor,” Dormady said. “I felt comfortable around them and those are great men. They’ve got great character. That’s who I want to surround myself with to become a better person and later down the road a better husband and father. They were definitely a huge part of it.”

While on The Hill last week, Dormady started developing a relationship with current players as well as other 2015 commits.

“I’ve gotten to know some of the kids that are there right now and then last night I talked to a couple of the kids that are in my class. So, I’m getting there, getting to know them,” Dormady said.

“It was just getting back up there, kind of hanging out and getting around the guys and that kind of stuff. That was probably the biggest thing that I went there for.

“I hung out with (Tennessee freshman tight end) Ethan (Wolf) up there, and he’s a great guy. There’s definitely some kids that I’ve gotten to know when I was up there.”

With Riley Ferguson transferring and*Justin Worley*graduating after the 2014 season, Tennessee is scheduled to have two scholarship quarterbacks return in 2015. Dormady would make No. 3 if he signs. However, the right-hander said depth chart wasn’t a difference-maker.

“It wasn’t a huge factor,” Dormady said. “I kind of knew what was happening with Ferguson leaving and then (Joshua) Dobbs and (Nathan) Peterman being the only ones there. Like I said, I just wanted to be a part of something that’s building to be great.”

With the recruiting process behind him, the Texan can concentrate on doing big things in his final prep season at Boerne High with his father and second-year head coach Mike Dormady leading the way.

“That’s huge,” said Quinten, who will lead the Greyhounds’ Spread attack. “I kind of have felt kind of bad because I was actually supposed to be back on Saturday playing in a 7-on-7 tournament and I couldn’t make it. It’s actually good to be back around the team, back around the guys that I’ll play my senior year with and just focus on that and trying to get a state championship there.”

Dormady plans to take an official visit to Tennessee this fall and enroll in classes in Knoxville in January.

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.

His mechanics look pretty good for a sophomore in high school (film). I'm no "expert" but you can see the kid has a great skill set and mechanics to work with. He seems balanced and intelligent in the pocket. I just hope that injury doesn't affect him to much and he can manage to stay healthy. Did he injure his throwing shoulder?

Yes labrum tear. Repaired by Dr. Andrews (one of the best). The equivalent of a meniscus tear in the knee that can be repaired. Takes longer to heal if repaired than if removed, but long-term repair>>>>>>removal.

If you ask me, most of the chronic swelling/poor results comes from not allowing adequate healing post- op and too early return to play. Jmo

Is this an injury like a dislocated shoulder where once it happens it's more than likely to happen again or one where once it's fixed it's as good as new?
