'18 CA QB JT Shrout (UT signee)

Obviously the hype has cooled with him. However, he will be a name to watch in the future. A lot of “if’s” but a lot of potential.
 
If he could only see the field and get rid of the ball in less than 5 seconds ,then he might turn out to be a fairly decent QB.Until that time that he demonstrates those characteristics during a game against SEC Competition then I am still skeptical about his ability to start and win at Tennessee or any other college team.

Potential. But he’s a work in progress. There! I saved K-Town from having to put on his fighting armor. :)

Have you seen the stupidity in this thread? You crack me up. Say something to the people who think this kid has a shot of playing this year . They are living in la la land.

We needed 3 QB's last fall. It's very possible we need 3 this fall as well. Which means Shrout could play. That's not la la land. It's reality.

Who said he was going to play this year? I think Chryst beats out JG and would not be surprised if Shrout gave JG a run next year (if he doesn't transfer).

Because VN logic: "I think XYZ might beat out ABC and start" == "XYZ will start 15 minutes after arriving and set 13 passing records en route to winning Tennessee's first NC since 98 and securing the Heisman"

Not realistic either way.

Chryst was worse with a better team as a JR than JG as a freshman. He is arriving in the fall. JG has already established himself. I doubt Chryst starts.

Shrout is already being recruited over. He is not really a great prospect either. There is a reason he was ranked so low. He attended a ton of camps and had exposure. He had a mediocre season though. Scouts aren't high on him like people in this thread are acting.

He won't pass up a more talented returning starter next year. By the time JG leaves we will have a 4 or 5 star heir apparent. Shrout won't play most likely.

Also several people have speculated if he will start this year. Lmao.

as opposed to any other qb?

i'm not interested in predicting the future. but shrout has had plenty of high praise from people that know the QB position, at the NFL level.

that doesn't mean he'll do anything either.

and it certainly won't mean this staff wont' continue to go out and recruit the next best thing at QB either.

these qb debates are sooooo subjective, absent any real production.

and fact is, none of the qb's we have on roster right now, have much of that, and certainly not enough to say one way or the other, given all the changes that have been made w/coaches, personnel and scheme.

all any of this is a projection based on a lot of imperfect information.:thumbsup:

He hasn't had plenty.

Had had praise from literally one camp when he has been attending multiple qb camps each summer since his freshman year.

The NFL guy was Simms who the family has been paying thousands of dollars for training.

Sam Darnold didn't camp at all. Played linebacker more than qb. He was from the same region. Somehow with less exposure and the same amount of starting time he wa more more highly touted.

Scouts have seen plenty of Shrout. They were aware of him before this season. That is when he went to the camp everyone hypes up. Still ended up a three star in the 600s.

He was a body for us to have once of emergency. If he somehow magically gets better then great. He isn't the qb of the future though.

Bailey or someone like him will be the starter after JG.

Calls out others for making way too early definitive statements. Follows up with way too early definitive statements. Maybe he never pans out but it's not like we stole him from valdosta state. He was the only qb Cal was gonna take and they had to scramble to replace him. So some p5 evaluators were certainly high on him. He only played 1 year right? He seems to have a good arm and natural talent that potentially could be developed. I think he redshirts and who knows after that. But he certainly has potential. I agree with you on jg proving himself and being the starter until he graduates but like jg, I'm not ready to write this kid off. Especially when he's not even on campus yet.

None of y’all know what the hell youre talking about. Need some input from the real talent evaluator around here, D4H.

I’ve also added a photo to help speed up the evaluation process for him. Let us know what you think D4H.

Correction a few of the people talking about JT Shrout were Rich Bartel, 49ers Coach Kyle Shanahan, Rams Coach Sean McVay, Sage Rosenfels, and I am sure a bunch of others. But sure.... It was just Simms at that camp that was talking about Shrout..... Btw Simms isn't even mentioned in this article.

Most of who? They never said those words. He had one good camp of dozens he has attended. Those same scouts still ranked him in the 600s. The praise he received is so overblown. It's all literally from one camp and from people he paid.

So the one camp out of dozens. I got ya. Like I said he has been camping since ninth grade. Of course he looks good in shorts. His parents have literally paid thousands for qb coaching. He has been to more camps than a ton of QBs that are ranked higher.

One camp is all y'all are hanging your hat on. His game play and performance in other camps lead to him being ranked in the 600s and Cal as the only other P5 offer.

Did you read the article that was just posted above. It kinda contradicts yer story. The scouts who said it were not recruiting sites that rated him. They were NFL scouts.

Which other camps did he attend?
