Riley Ferguson?

[Coug]

Riley will arrive in Knoxville June 13th the day after he graduates from HS.

So he's coming in late to really have a chance at being a starter QB unless he impresses the hell out of some coaches.

I feel good about any of the guys, but me personally, I'm hoping for peterman, I think he had more upside than Worley plus he's a better fit in CBJ scheme, Peterman has enough speed and elusiveness to pick up yards with his feet, plus the fact that CBJ recruited him at cincy could push him as the guy.

When it comes to Riley I get excited about him and his entangibles, I just get this feeling he has that "it" factor. So if he starts as true freshmen I'm not worried,

If we get dobbs that really makes things interesting cause just like Riley he could push for playing time as a freshman, he's obviously the most mobile but none are statues,

Lastly I just hope us fans can be patient and remember its not about this year, there young, it's about what were building.

I am looking forward to the competition and the believe the coaches will make the correct decision at every position. I am told that every position is open and the best players will be playing.

Nobody know who is going to start including Jones at the QB position

Isn't anyone else relieved by the fact that UT may not HAVE to have a freshman come in and start from the outset?

Also, I think this is a situation where the new guy has a lot shine on him (same would go for Dobbs or just about any other freshman) and makes him look better than what is already on campus, but the reality is that is probably not the case. I think RF will be good, but some time in the program will definitely help him IMO.

Exactly. So many fans don't though. I guess it's much easier to look at what's right in front of you, than to look at what is is progressing in the near future.

I disagree...
I'm very excited for new blood at this point. I've seen Worley play and I have little hope. I honestly don't remember seeing Peterman play.

CBJ needs a halfway decent mobile quarterback. I think some people are counting Riley out because they think he doesn't have the wheels. However, if you look at his highlights, he looks like he has some speed if he has to use it. Also, when he gets outside of the pocket, he throws tremendously well on the run. Very accurate. I'm excited to see his future here. Trent Dilfer is very high on him and his potential. I'll take a super bowl winner's word for it.

Worely looked good against Vandy while he was in. But, he I believe he has thrown an interception in every game that he has played in. I don't know how well he fits in CBJ's offense. But, he ran a spread in high school. I think Peterman gets a shot in the end before Worely does.

Good post.... Riley may not have elite speed but he runs light on his feet and actually appears pretty shifty. From all accounts he has the "it" factor. Can't wait to see him in the fall.

Agreed!

Did Ferguson lose his phone and you found it?

Funny, but no it's my phone.

This is exactly what I remember too.
