I'll be surprised if Martell ends up beating out the other guys he has to compete with at OSU. Dude is so small. Unless he's literally the next Johnny Football, that will put him at an immediate disadvantage compared to the other guys.

He's still very mobile with a strong arm. He can excel.

I believe he will be the backup with Barrett not leaving for the NFL. Barrett will really have to mess up for CUM to bench him for a freshman.

Osu QB depth chart next year:
Barrett (RSSR)
Joe burrow (RSSOPH)
Haskins (RSFR)
Martell (will RS)

Some argue that Haskins will be the backup next year, but I'm not buying it. Burrow is good.

He is bigger and throws well. Jones is not a big time running QB like Urban usually goes for. He is mobile but running is not his strong suit. Martell and Haskins are more of the DT type.

Haskins is not a great runner.

Avg runner at best. Jones is a better runner IMO.

Can someone who has a subscription ask Callahan or Hubbs or somebody if we are going to keep after Jones? That depth chart at Ohio state is a lot deeper than ours. Need to see if we can flip him. And if not, who is our top 2018 QB target?

But a few others, each within the region, still have the potential to flip the pledge.

"Who has a shot? I'll say Alabama, Florida, Florida State," Jones said.

Ouch

From now until the Vols win at a high level, we'll probably not get that top 2 or 3 QB recruit. (I know they got Guarantano)

The staff evaluated Emory and offered him early before any of the other major schools, and then he blew them off when his recruitment went upward. The only thing that is left for the Vols to do with Butch as coach is win at a high level. Maybe this year, they win the east, upset one of the SEC west powers.

What happened to us? Seems like we're really struggling this year, except with the in state kids. Seem to have a lot of momentum there

The last real news on this kid was on 1/20. And there hasn't been a post in this thread in over two months.

Here's the nugget from Callahan.....

^^^theres no "ouch" to the quote today. It's been over here for a while.

He ain't flipping. It's why we aren't pursuing him but are still going after Fields. Fields is still open to change. Jones just staying relevant in recruiting with no intentions of flipping

It really shouldn't be tough to negative recruit Urban Meyer and his laughable success with his QB's translating to the NFL.

Lets take a look at Urban's college QB recruiting over the past 10 years and lets see how their careers ended up.

5* Tim Tebow - NFL bust, moved to TE at the end of his NFL run, now trying to be a baseball player.

5* John Brantley - Supposed to be the best QB prospect out of FL in many years. Was committed to Texas for awhile then decommited and committed to UF. Bust, undrafted and signed by the Ravens as a UDFA, cut a few months later. Considering his hype he was a big disappointment.

5* Cam Newton - Can't even count how many times he got in trouble for academic cheating, theft, and other off the field issues for missing practices and team meetings. Basically was about to be kicked out of UF despite Urb's best efforts for his third and final academic cheating violation. Transfers to JUCO, then stars at Auburn and we know the rest. Urb couldn't even keep the future of UF football eligible and out of trouble.

5* Jeff Driskel - Do i even need to write about how awful he was at FL?

3* Trey Burton - moved from QB after his freshman season to TE.

4* Jordan Reed - moved from QB after his freshman season to TE.

3* Tyler Murphy - moved from QB to WR after his freshman season. Transferred to Boston College.

4* Jacoby Brissett - was terrible at UF transferred to NC St. and made it to the NFL.

5* Terrelle Pryor - bust at QB in the NFL, turning into a superstar at WR in the NFL.

4* Braxton Miller - turned into WR his senior year. WR for the Texans.

3* Cardale Jones - Big arm, mobile, great his first year playing and won a NC and got worse and worse each year. Said a lot of stupid stuff on twitter. Went from a first day pick if he kept progressing but ended up a fourth round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2016.

4* JT Barrett - again, looked great early on in his career and because of injuries and i suspect Urban's inability to develop QB's very well, he has not improved at all.

5* Torrence Gibson - moved from QB to WR. In trouble a ton, transfers to Cinncinatti.

Basically Urban has proved that he can recruit the best athletes and talent in the country. He is able to teach them his junk offense which leads to a lot of college success because of the elite talent around the QB and the gimmicks, but almost guarantees you won't be an NFL success at QB.

Also, there is a very high chance if you are recruited as a QB by Meyer, you have an extremely high chance of being moved to WR or TE.

Urb kept serial killer Hernandez out of trouble, that is impressive.
