Can't ever recall such a huge discrepancy amongst ratings for a prospect. Are scouts really that split on him or are the guys at ESPN/Rivals & on3/247 beefing again?

#1 247Sports
#42 ESPN (4 star #5 QB #2 in-state)
#9 on3 (5 star #2 QB #2 in-state)
#134 Rivals (4 star #8 QB #9 in-state)

Justin Fields was like this until his senior year. When Tennessee was recruiting him hard he was mainly outside the top 100

Tennessee was the first big time school to really identify and pursue him. I’ll give the Butch staff credit for that, although they failed to land him.

What the hell is this? Did this recruiting analyst think he hadn't received enough attention, so he's begging for more? Pathetic!

It's your job, dude. I would hope you had reasons for making a prediction.

Can't remember any staff at Tennessee that recruited QBs as well as our current staff does.

Yeah, the only comparable run I can think of would be the Manning/Stewart/Martin/Clausen/Crompton succession by Fulmer and Cutcliffe/Sanders.

Crap, yesss...how could I forget Heath on the front end? I guess I'm not entirely sure where he was ranked in high school rankings since they weren't readily available circa 1990-ish. Was he a stud prospect? He was a heck of a college QB, I know that.

There's an Ainge and Schaffer in there too.

I am not a certified psychologist but I think that is because you can't "remember" something that never existed.

Never have we landed three 5*s and a highly rated 4* QB in a four year stretch(assuming we get Brandon). Not only 5* QBs, but all being considered top 3 in their particular class at that position.

Who came in with Clausen? Was it Rattay or something like that? those guys may of been 5 stars but I'm not sure, that was 25 years ago.

Parade All-American and Top 20 overall player by Max Emfinger. Translates to high five star rating if virgin nerds had existed.

They weren't as highly regarded as Manning and Stewart. Before Nico, I think Crompton was the highest rated QB we had landed since Manning.

I was wrong about that. It says Clausen and James Banks were rated above Crompton. Of course Banks ended up at WR. @Volunteer821

 

[Volunteer821]

I thought about James Banks but he was not a QB even though he was. I was at the Mississippi st game he played in and he was terrible. All he could do was run a draw, but we beat them to death with it. Was a heckuva a WR though. My best friend was from Starkville and we went to every game we played against each other up until Dooley years.

Edit-wrong game, that was the frustrating game were he'd hit a big run and get sacked the next play and give back yards. We just rode Cedric Houston the 2nd half to put the game away.

Clausen was a high 4, low 5. Banks was a 5.

This is all post Manning....

This kinda of puts the level of QB recruiting that Heupel is doing into perspective.
