'17 GA ATH Marquez Bembry (UT signee)

Definitely has the speed and explosiveness to make it at the college level. However, like others have said, the competition doesn't look great so he'll need time to adjust to the college game. RS year to get stronger/refine technique and I think this will be a solid pickup.

Totally agree with this, I knew a kid that was 3rd string on a team and transfered to this school and was a all region player by far the weakest competition in the state

Irrelevant IMO. Whole bunch of VN posters have already "watched his film"....

This Kid plays in the lowest tier of the lowest classification of Georgia High School Football. The private school and rural schools he plays against are lucky to get 40 kids for the team. I would take the film with a grain of salt compared to some of the higher tier programs in the area

Valid points

The fact that it is such a low profile program is a good indicator of the lengths the staff goes to source and evaluate players

Something to consider about low profile programs long before recruiting sites and social media Osborne built Nebraska into a perennial national power on the backs of kids playing six and eight man HS football. Who's practices were scheduled around and who's S&C program consisted primarily if not completely of farm and ranch cores done pre-dawn and after school. And remains so to this day

I mean, regardless of how bad his competition is, he basically does what you're supposed to do against weak competition. Obliterate it.

He may end up being a bit of a project. But I don't mind taking on a project that makes plays like that.

Like I figured...The pissanmoanfest is gearing up full swing. Thanks for feeding the crocs OV. The dude will either blow up, or get blown off by signing day. How about just seeing what happens instead of tearing the kid apart now? The kid can't help where he plays.

Got in trouble so idk if he is still on the team

So not here? That's actually more what I was getting at.

As I said elsewhere, it's not my favorite method of recruiting, but this has been the MO since Butch got here. Identify players they think have the potential to improve either athletically or technique wise, fight to keep the ones they are right about and cut the ones that they were wrong about.

So if he's Dews 2.0, he won't end up here either.

Fair to say that that is the MO of successful recruiters in general is it not?

To a degree, sure. But I think most thought that by now, after a handful of successful classes in a row and steady improvement in win totals, that the lead commits for our class would stop being seen as potential stars and more as probable stars.

I just saw this commit, saw the comments on his highlights so went to see for myself. First thing that popped in my head is what class is this because he looks like hes playing against Class A Tennessee level competition.

Interesting take knowing that.

OV what have you heard on this kid, if anything?

Understandable. It's been a while and we as a fanbase are impatient. Tennessee's recent (last decade particularly staff TO and (on and off field) performance) history has been challenging but progress is there true it may be slower than most would like but there nonetheless

When the top/winning programs start offering this kid then I will start booming.
I expect elite

I believe out of the 3 commits we have so far for this class....the only one that we sign with us is Chase Rogers. Just my opinion.

Jerome Dews 2.0

Their frames are completely different. Dews had narrow shoulders and looked like he was already about as big as he was going to get; Bembry has much broader shoulders and clearly has the ability to get bigger.

Compare Dews:

Against what Bembry looked like last August as a rising Junior:

Bembry isn't small like Dews was, he's just a little wiry in his limbs like most kids his age. He'll be fine once he gets in our strength and nutrition programs.

I didn't say anything about booming. I didn't boom this one, but neither am I gonna dump on the kid. If he makes it to signing day, then that means the coaches think he has what it takes. Rankings obviously don't matter to them when they really want a kid. That's good enough for me.

Bring me the ballers all the elite programs want.

Negavol IMO. The sky is not falling like you are suggesting. They will be re evaluated in time and get higher rankings. Butch has proven he can evaluate talent well.
