'20 GA QB Harrison Bailey (UT SIGNEE)

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I obviously wont be shocked if we get him, but I will be a little surprised. I am probably letting how the season ended affect my thinking here, and the fact that we maybe looking for an OC soon, but if I had to make a prediction here I'd have to say UM.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Please let this happen

A reclassified Bailey would almost certainly RS. Why would we not?

 

[SoMissVol]

Sorry for double post, but if they do pull him and then land even two or three of these guys we might be in on, not to mention Brown and Gray?

Because we don't have much at QB right now. A project in Shrout and a gunshy QB with limited mobility that doesn't work through his progressions.

It's not an ideal situation to be in playing a 17 year old at QB but it got SC to a bowl game and right now we need to make progress.

As someone else mentioned, at the very least it might spark some true competition at the position.

I’m all about competition, but I see zero reason to play him as a true frosh when we have JG and two other options in front of him, not to mention McBride (who may not be here) that has game time experience.

I sincerely doubt McBride is here much longer.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

He committing Wednesday?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

McBride is definitely on the list of transfers this off season.

He committing Wednesday?

Thursday the 29th

 

[Rishvol]

Pruitt can't visit him because he hasn't reclassified yet correct?

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Blueshirt candidate?

Blueshirt candidate?

 

[#Vol4Life1991]

Im serious.... if he reclassifies to ‘19 and he doesnt take an ov during spring semester. He could blueshirt correct? It seems like a manipulative way to get him in as a ‘19, but count him as a ‘20 recruit like he currently is now.

I'm not an expert, but sure seems like it. No OV or In-Home visit and wouldn't need a scholarship by February.

Keep your private thoughts to yourself.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Get a brand new O-Line simultaneously.

Fyp

 

[InVOLuntary]

Are we acting like GA and recruiting over our '19 class that hasn't signed with '20 recruits? Asking for a friend.

Hmm that's a good point and dang good way to pull 2 QBs innthis class

A recruit this highly regarded and rated isn't going to blueshirt imo

Why not? Hes a '20 recuit and he might reclassify to '19. Why even give him an ov? I wonder how uscE did bentley...

 

[head1]

I don’t think he would reclassify just to redshirt.

I just don't see it.

He might not have the option to sign as a 2019 recruit during the signing period from February to...I think...late March or early April. Depends on when they know he can reclassify and I'm sure the NCAA has to approve the reclassification. Blueshirting could end up being the only option, as strange as that sounds.
