Maybe this kid can be coached for a change. Novel concept.

We really have screwed Wilcox twice now with QBs. Lol, he wanted to get as far as possible from the SEC, and we brought the fight right to him.

Said on the radio he talked to Fulmer a lot.

 

[iamadoc]

Welcome to Rocky Top. Sounds like you are fired up to be at Tennessee. Good luck!

 

[AppStVol]

Kid is a great fit for our new scheme.

We don’t need a world beater at QB if we can run the ball, control the LOS and play D.

 

[JPL]

I've got a good feeling about this kid. Think he might just be the next great UT QB.

sounds good to me!

I have no idea how the rest of the day goes but really excited to get Banks, Carvin & this young man!!!!

Now, I just want the ones who are supposed to sign early to sign today and I'll be very happy

GO VOLS!!!

If this is struggling, I can't wait to see what he can do when he isn't struggling!:dance2:

 

[bignewt]

Highlights got me thinking Tyler Bray 2.0 for sure.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

That offer list is rather concerning

He was hurt plus this late in the game have to take a chance on 4 or 5 recruits, we are behind the 8 ball have to gamble the upside is high could he the sleeper in the class.:good!:

I mean let's just face it here,

We have a high ceiling / low floor prospect situation with this kid. He could come in, maybe as a RS Freshman (doubt as a true freshman, but you never know), grasp the offense, and gunsling us to offensive brilliance.

He could also never crack the lineup, provide insurance at backup QB until we can hopefully land someone of elite ability. Or he could crack the lineup and throw a thousand interceptions before they put in someone else.

That's what this whole recruiting saga is about. The Unknown.

He moves pretty well out of the pocket.

His footwork needs improvement but that can be fixed with coaching.

Get the top in state recruits to sign and we have had a good day, plus i got to thinking if some of these kids are getting pressure to sign early and coach JP IS TELLING THEM TO take your time and make the right choice we could have a great closing class when all the ink dries in Februday:clapping:.Coach JP said from day 1 don't flip your wig during the early signing period like he said worry about the ones that we get, don't worry about the ones that are not 100 percent VOLS, we don't need a kid that is not all in, a lot on here flipped out about Mays the way i look at it is he is not all in good luck have a good life go on where you will be happy, i won't a recruit that is all in not one you got to baby, the ones that we have got is tough kids, that what we won't, we don't need soft kids.:rock:

Good potential

“I have known coach (Tyson) Helton for about two weeks now,” Shrout told Volquest shortly after signing. “I think the history that Tennessee football has intrigued me to the point that I wanted to go out there and check it out. I’m not a typical California kid. I like to go hunting and fishing. The environment there and the school suited me, so I wanted to go see what it was about.”

On short notice, Shrout spent last weekend in Knoxville and ironically it was his arrival to Rocky Top that left one of the biggest impressions. “When I flew in, I put a tweet out about my location being in Knoxville and it took about 10 minutes to get off the plane. When I got off the plane there were some Tennessee fans that told me, 'Welcome to Rocky Top.' That was one of the coolest things I have ever experienced," Shrout offered.

"The fanbase that Tennessee has is absolutely amazing. Also, getting to meet coach Pruitt and the staff he has put together. I really loved everyone on the staff. I have built a good and quick relationship with them. The facilities aren’t comparable to other places in the country. I know I will have the resources I need.”

Shrout obviously disappointed Cal head coach Justin Wilcox with his decommitment on Tuesday night, but said he wished nothing but the best for the Bears and wanted to handle the process the right now. While there was disappointment in Berkley, there was jubilation in Knoxville and Tuscaloosa this morning when Shrout delivered the news he would be wearing orange.

“Coach Helton dropped the phone and started screaming running down the hall. He was really happy. Coach Pruitt was super happy as well.” “Cal has been very good to me. I have nothing but respect for Coach Wilcox. He has them turned around and in the right direction. I wish them nothing but the best. I wanted to do it the right way and I’m real happy to be a Vol.”

Shrout threw for 27 touchdowns and 25 interceptions as a senior at Santa Clarita High (Calif.) and in addition to the environment being more to his liking in Knoxville, he believes the Vols new offense fits him to a T. “Coach Helton came over from USC and Tennessee is going to run something similar to what they run. I think I fit into that very well. I am really excited about what they have going for the future,” Shrout offered. He will enroll in June.
