'26 NC QB Faizon Brandon (Tennessee commit)

[Vols919]

He's absolutely incredible to watch!

Grimsley moves on to play for a state title against the 4A East winner Rolesville Rams Friday, December 20th at 7pm in Chapel Hill.

Bill coached Tom.

He either developed him some but mostly it was Tom or he’s some QB genius.

But if he is why couldn’t he develop anyone else? He churned thru QB’s and did nothing.

He’s old, grumpy and burned so many bridges his gig he gets is UNC!

He isn’t a threat IMO

Agree that he’s not a threat, BUT…

Look what Matt Cassell did the year Brady was hurt. He parlayed really good season into a big contract with KC, then didn’t do anything.

Jimmy Garapolo did the same thing…productive filling in a year for Brady, got paid, then couldn’t replicate it elsewhere.

I do think there was something to that Patriots system.

Good point!

The media also glosses over the fact he’s never coached college before. Or dealt with recruiting. Or boosters. Or 18-22 year old kids.

 

[volnbama_]

Call him a liar, why don't you?

To be fair he wouldn’t be the first recruit to change his mind. Recruiting is a business more than ever now. He will at least explore the possibility privately. Doesn’t mean he’ll flip

If the Faizon commitment sticks and I ,believe it will , do we see some QBs hit the portal ? I believe we will, as much as there is to learn in coach Heupel s system I think this kid could start as a freshman.

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Remind me of this in a month. They will hit him with a number and he will talk. Doesn’t make him a bad person

Or nothing will happen and we can remind you of over exaggerating the situation

Make sure to provide us the proof of this

It’s highly unlikely we hold onto all three of Merk, Mac, and Faizon. Whether we can hold onto two of three is the question.

Just wait until he tells a big booster to shove it!

its no different than Saban. He was an ass**** with the media for pretty much his entire time at Bama. Yet, his former players and staff said he was very different behind the scenes. We can now see that with his time on Gameday. He seems like a completely different person.

I have to say that the VRBO commercial he is in is pretty funny.

Not many highly skilled players dream of being a backup. Your absolute right in my book. I can only hope

 

[allvolrecruiting]

I don’t see Faizon flipping. He’s pretty locked in

He is going to be incredible on Rocky Top.

North Carolina is such an underrated state for talent.

Grimsley will finish the season ranked in the top 25 Nationally. Deservedly so. But there’s a team in Fayetteville (Fayettniem nicknamed) NC that maybe just as good as Grimsley. Seventy First HS is 15-0 and about to play West Charlotte for the 3A Title next week. But 71st has THREE 1,000 yard rushers. 1) a 6’2 260 lb HB. 2) a 6’2 220 lb QB 3) a 5’11 210 RB that’s being recruited by Ole Miss for 2026.

I lived in North Carolina for 4 years. And if North Carolina had the coaching, and community support that some of these programs out here in California have, you would have 10 programs all from North Carolina ranked in the Top 50 imo.
So much talent out there. Glad we’re locked into that state. Screw belichick
