'26 NC QB Faizon Brandon (Tennessee commit)

[Ratvol]

Team 1: Tennessee
Team 2: Vols

Either way, it's two excellent choices...

GO VOLS

Would be a huge loss if he ended up at Bama. Heupel has gone all in on this one.

Good thing we've got 2 years to right the ship.

 

[BJWeeks]

I still like we here we are but don’t discount Alabama

Someone should let him know Saban is gone and Bama is back to 6 win seasons where they belong

At best, 9-3 this year. Loses to uga, ut, and wisc/mizz/lsu/burn/ou

first 26’ commit being the #1 player, let’s do it

That's because JG had piss poor coaching.

I’m not going to turn this into a JG debate but there was a lot of mistakes he made that had nothing to do with coaching.

The recruiting services just over ranked the kid.

It happens.

Which OC was terrible? He had a lot of them.

247 and Rivals lost credibility forever ago

lol. So I am curious, according to you, who has any credibility in the recruiting world? We know how you are. As long as someone talks 100% positive about TN they are legit and correct. But if they don’t, then they are not credible and a hack.

no

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Yep. I remember a kid named Asianti Woulard who came out of nowhere and won the Elite 11. Ended up going to UCLA...never to be heard from again. Sean White the next year...then Blake Barnett...Shea Patterson. The four MVPs after those did really well, but Elite 11 MVP is far from being an indication of future success.

Wasn’t saying he’s going to be the next Bryce Young or anything just bc he won it but the poster was acting like he sucked bc he was committed to SMU

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Good thing we've got 2 years to right the ship.

Bingo. Not worried here at all.

 

[PA Vol]

He’ll win but the expectations of following Saban is through the roof.

Will not be the same as the PAC 12.

Anything less than a playoff appearance, he’s a goner.

Even a few playoff appearances without hardware will get the natives restless.

 

[BigSteve09]

The Vols have hosted Brandon and family eight times in the last 13 months, and we expect him back in town at the end of July before he makes a final decision. He will also see Alabama one more time in July, but there is undoubtedly a comfort level for him on Rocky Top.

Hubbs

“Acting” like a bama commits “sucks” because he was SMU caliber at one point to bragging for a bama commit winning an elite 11 is certainly a position to take…

Saying a fact isn't bragging lol

 

[GoodTimeVol]

Saying a fact isn't bragging lol

Calling him SMU caliber isn’t saying he is “trash” or that he “sucks” (your words) it’s just that they beat SMU for him…so it’s also a fact or we could go with he won the elite 11? Again there is my take and then there is yours lol

 

[volunteerlane]

Oh my god a QB won the elite 11 that must mean he will automatically be elite at the next level like blake barnett was

And then followed that up with the QB MVP at the Rivals 5* camp. He will likely be a 5* in the next update.

He’s a regular Blake Barnett or Sean white lol Jesus Christ read the thread. Do we really need to hash the history of what QB’s Saban wanted the past two years…

hot take…. I think this will be the guy to replace Nico after he gets drafted

I think we get one year of Merk then Frazion takes over his SO/Fr(RS) year… Sorry G-Mac but I really like this kid

You are aware it was 7x7 where Nico earned his status and deal right? That’s where they actually encounter high level athletes, not playing single A football.

 

[lfvol]

They’re gonna get dudes. Their coach is an offensive guy and it’s Bama. But he’s not Saban. They’ll fall off from what they were but will still be good.

Agree, just disappointed their recruiting is suddenly taking a jump with guys like Cunningham.

Not really a hot take. We get this guy, number one player in class next year, he absolutely and instantly becomes the second best qb on the roster.
