'18 CA QB Adrian Martinez

[VolAroundTheWorld]

Crazy that UT was the leader at one time for all three of those.

The old "always a bridesmaid but never a bride" situation. Yeah it stinks

I'm very happy with the commitments of Martinez and Penix

I think it's a pretty good indicator that our staff is pretty good at this evaluation thing. At least for certain positions.

I wouldn't be too disappointed. Martinez has the potential to be as good as any of them. ESPN has him rated as the 4th best QB after Fields, Lawrence, and Emory Jones. And in the top 35 overall in the country.

For our system, I would only take Fields over Martinez. We'll be fine at QB going forward. Dormady, Guarantano, and Martinez is a nice trio.

Nobody can say butch isn't swinging for the fences on qbs...lands #4 only after missing on 1, 2 and 3

welcome, post more. don't let the negas get you down.

The negas; star gazers; film watchers; ex players; coach wanna bes, arm chair QBs, RBs, DB (fill in the blank); and any other opinionated member of the circular firing squad that disagree on most topics during the off season to break up the monotony. Otherwise feel free to share...

And the trolls...real or imagined.

Or just F'em all and move on?

While Martinez does rank up there with these guys talent wise, the advantage that he may have is that "California cool". It's something that we have seen here before at UT at the QB position. If this kid has it combined with his God given natural abilities, we could be in for some special times on the hill.

Yeah, I'll get right on that since you said so. Self importance has you in a head lock.

Any reason to worry about USC losing Coral to Florida?

Corral decommitted in mid June, and Martinez said he was solid to UT after that.

I know. I still like my answer

No, he won't be back on the field that soon. Martinez hasn't even started his throwing program yet —*he initially was hoping to do that sometime this month, but that now has been pushed back to early September or so — and there's a real chance he won't even play this season. He's working out with the goal and mindset that he could be back on the field as early as October, but he's also trying to play it safe and not risk coming back too soon since he'll be enrolling at Tennessee in January.
We'll actually have a full update on Martinez in a couple days with the latest on his recovery and more.

What's this about a "recovery"? What's wrong?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

It's weird how it seems so many of our recruits come into the program off of injury.

Shoulder...dating back to last season.

Or a year removed...worked ok with Dormady.

Fingers, are you sure this isn't from last year? Reads like it is.

 

[kamoshika]

Martinez had surgery in March to repair a torn labrum, which he injured playing baseball in late February. Linked article says the surgery went well w/ an expected recovery period of 4-6 months, but another piece in the Fresno Bee on June 30 says he'll miss this season.

Callahan said in the statement Martinez is scheduled to enroll at UT in January, so will not risk pushing his return to play this fall, which makes it seem to be a current statement.
