'20 GA QB Harrison Bailey (UT SIGNEE)

[SugarCC]

I mean come on he plays against the most elite competition that you can play against and puts up video game numbers. Hes 6.5 and 230 with a howitzer for a right arm . His demeanor is great during games also. Never to high or low. Snap and clear next play qb.I can't wait to see him on the hill.

Agreed. A true leader, with some swagger...and, all the talent in the world. If he would've said Michigan instead of UT, like you said, he would be top QB in the country, and inside the top 10 overall.

He's the best QB we've gotten since Manning. I truly believe he's a program-changer. He is the absolute, by far, most important recruit that Pruitt has gotten, so far.

On the post about him “complaining about the band”...

The entire offense turned to the refs and were pointing at the band after they ran a play while the band continued to play. Wasn’t just Bailey. The announcers commented the sideline was going crazy yelling at the refs. Not just Bailey.

His ratings are criminally bad.Rivals and 24/7 should be ashamed.

Anyone who thinks the star ratings are the end-all, be-all do so without the thought of...Pruitt has more knowledge in his raised eyebrow, than the Ferrell's of the world will ever have in their entire body.

Do we care that he can’t run or escape the pocket?

He can do both

Rivals has him close to where he should be. 247 and ESPN's rankings are just gross negligence.

I think hes a top 10 player in the country. Just based on his video game numbers playing against the best high school competition out there.

Trivial post. Did anyone say just Bailey? They said Bailey.

 

[butchna]

I would expect the QB (leader) to address issues.

Actually he did show the ability to slide In the pocket and escape sack attempts. Now when 4 to 5 guys have you in their sights, maybe not.

[ionaVOL]

So to summarize, he is statistically one of the top 5 high school QBs of all time in the state of Georgia and just led his team to a state championship while putting up video game numbers against a challenging schedule.

Yea, while he certainly deserves the recognition to be ranked higher, I could legitimately not care less about his ranking. Program building block.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Why can't we land a Rakim Jarrett, or the likes of, to come in and immediately make a huge impact? It has been a very long time since we have had a true freshman come in and play meaningful snaps at all.

We have 5 players to make All SEC Freshman in the last two years. Seems like they must have played some meaningful snaps to make those honors.

Don’t disagree but I think he gets dinged because he’s throwing to Arik Gilbert and Ricky White, I’m not saying he should, that’s just a part of it I feel like, what they might find out later is that HB was making both those guys look good and not the other way around

 

[VOLINVONORE]

If he wasn't committed to us he would be the top rated qb in the country and a consensus 5 star .How you can look at his numbers and not realize that is beyond me .

These comments are getting a little old and have no substance. Time to look at the positive results of the game.

That's the only thing I can figure.That they are so talented on offense that he dont get the credit he deserves.

No because he does run and does escape the pocket. Watch a little bit more of his film and you will see his abilities.

Guy that moves well in the pocket and evades the pressure to make a throw down field is every bit as dangerous as some one who bails quickly and scrambled for 8 yards.

No substance ok.Compare his seasonal numbers to any of the top high school qbs in the country.Not to mention playing against some of the best competion in the country.Then stack his career numbers up against any of them.

Only thing I saw last night that I didn't like was he held on to the ball too long and took some sacks.

He reminds me of a more athletic version of Aaron Rodgers. He is one of the best in moving around the pocket and evading the rush to buy more time.

He will need to learn to throw the ball away at times.

 

[firedog28]

This kid is the closet to Peyton I have seen.I don't care what they rate him.If he will work the film room and the mental side of the game he will be just as good.But it still comes down to the big uglies on Saturdays.It's the reason Peyton could not beat Florida.The big uglies could not keep the Freak and Kevin Carter off him.

You lost all your E-cred with that statement. AR is an exceptionally athletic all-pro NFL QB.,

 

[SaguaroVols]

Lol not looking for Ecred. Just my personal opinion.

HB in high school at 6'4.5 and 224 lbs
40 time: 4.83
Vertical 34.5
Shuttle 4.39

AR draft combine at 6'2 and 223 lbs
40 time 4.71
Vertical 34.6
Shuttle 4.32

Very similar numbers with HB in HIGH SCHOOL and AR in the DRAFT COMBINE.

GTFOH.

Something I have noticed in the games I've watched this year, everytime the camera pans to him on the sideline he is watching plays on an iPad
