Tennessee QB Harrison Bailey enters NCAA transfer portal

[Volbrando]

Does the timing hurt our portal rule replacement?

 

[Dudleys87]

I would be good with that. I just don’t know that Cut will be there next year. When you score 0 points against a UVA team that is pretty bad on the defensive side of the ball that’s not a good sign.

very true
That’s why I mentioned if he was still there or not. I’m pretty sure he spent a lot of time on campus with Cut and the Manning’s working out.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

He will thrive in the right system. Hope he does well.

 

[Dudleys87]

Bailey is the type of QB that needs a really big and really good offensive line to be successful, IMO. He’s not good enough to beat out what teams like Georgia and Oklahoma have on their roster or coming in, let’s be real. He will end up somewhere like Wisconsin, Northwestern, or TCU. Duke is a good guess. He’d be good at Iowa.

Not to mention a solid ground attack. He could do well at UNC too.

Maybe Michigan

I like him for the big 10 as well - will be interesting to see where he lands.

The student who threw the golf ball is QB3.

NIL deal from Titleist, or Taylormade?

 

[dobre_shunka]

Wouldn’t surprise me if he transferred to Arkansas state to play with Butch Jones honestly

Hey Butch, shouldn't you be preparing for the South Alabama game instead of trying to start rumors on message boards?

I certainly understand the reasons for transferring, especially his. I don't understand the timing of anyone doing it at this point in the season.

It's clear that Harrison was an after thought to Coach. I will always look at him as a #VFL. I support him in any choice of school he makes.

 

[GiveHim6InSC]

Clemson has their QB committed for next year. They believe he’s the second coming of Sunshine.
Any QBs committed to UT?

 

[ENGRVOL]

Hope he succeeds wherever he goes unless it’s to a sec school. The kid played hard last year against some petty tough opponents despite missing a lot of time preseason to covid. Think he will succeed in the right system.

 

[UTK]

Not sure how a kid with 4 years to play could see how well his team mate is playing in this system and be like "nah not for me dawg." But each their own. Good luck to him as long as he doesn't pull a Henry T.

So that he can be at another school in the spring and fit off season conditioning?

pretty mind boggling kid could end up starting by years end

 

[Vols4life]

He will end up at Georgia and he will put up ridiculous numbers vs us in the coming years.

Nah he'll be sacked before getting the ball off

'22 - QB IN Tayven Jackson (UT commit)

Transfer portal is a good thing for a lot of kids, but some kids are gonna look to it way too prematurely. Just hope for HBs sake this isn't one of those cases.

Awww
Now we won’t know how long it would take for the chicken Little’s to figure it out.

at end of year was a no doubter he needed to move on. not in middle of year

[VOLnMiami]

Caleb Williams (5 star freshman) has been balling since he replaced Rattler, 8 TDS 1 INT.

I dont think HB would even start over Rattler

Rattler will be hitting the portal soon and williams had a hard time beating Kansas so if you believe that is balling out then I'm not sure what to think about that.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Wish nothing but the best for Bailey. Dude was a Volunteer, and tried to stick it out but saw that his shot wasn't coming in this offense, through no fault of his own. Different style of play than what he's best at is all.

That being said, I can see him absolutely setting things on fire at Georgia Tech (close to home for him, he's from Marietta), Duke (Cutcliffe is a QB whisperer, and that name looks good on a degree when you're done), UNC (Howell's gone after this year, and the same as above with the name on the degree), or someone mentioned Wisconsin (IDK who their offensive line coach is, but he's underpaid and HB would have plenty of time to throw with those dudes in front of him).

Highly unlikely he goes to UGA, or anywhere in the SEC. Not saying it won't happen, just that I'll be really surprised if it does. He could tear it up in Leach's system, though.......when's the next time we play those guys???

 

[volmoon]

Joe Burrow did.

That’s your comparative high bar for HB to prove his worth? I think I’ll ban myself if Joe Milton throws 100 TDs.

 

[VOLnMiami]

Hopefully he will end up at Coastal Carolina.

Naa, He's not an option style of QB.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Best of luck to the young man. Don’t blame him one bit. Wrong place at the wrong time, but I see him being successful somewhere. Thanks to him for wanting to come to Tennessee in the first place.
