Tennessee QB Harrison Bailey enters NCAA transfer portal

[GiveHim6InSC]

You serious Clark?

I meant other than Jackson. Hit “reply” before I meant to

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.

If he can’t get on the field here he’s already recruited over at period Palace

 

[The Original Fade]

I don't see a reason that a 3rd string QB would remain 3rd string behind Milton if he can throw it reasonably well.

The coaches didn't run Bailey down but he had to be pretty bad in practice throwing the ball to not even challenge Milton. And Milton made the stupidest play since JG's fumble... and Bailey still wasn't a better option.

That is a head scratcher for sure

 

[Orange-Blooded]

Hate to say it but i can see him ending up at Kentucky with their new pro-style offense, also FSU, or UNC

 

[TheVolsFrog]

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

Maybe he heard the Rattler to TN rumors and decided he better bail.
Hope someone been talking to him on the side about an opening someplace.
I know it was mentioned this was a way to get his name our there early but I also say you can be too early and forgotten even more so with the transfer portal being what it is.
Some better guys are likely to enter

Tennessee QB Harrison Bailey enters NCAA transfer portal

You will hear his name a lot in the future while scratching your head.

I hate it did not work out for him at UT. He is really good but just not a good fit for this offense now! Please don’t go to a school that plays us so I’m good with any of those schools!

Maybe Rattler transfers to UT?

Bailey should have decommited when Beldar was hired

Going to Florida St

I think he got in the dog house for some reason with the staff since spring.

[ThreatLevelOrange]

I'd at least add Auburn and Arkansas from the SEC.

He won’t beat out who they have.

 

[C-south]

Expected imo. He came to Tenn at an unfortunate time to be a dropback passer.

It’s not like we have a Mike Vick now.

I agree if Bailey truly had a 5 star arm and was a accurate passer he would easily be number 2 even in our offense. For whatever reason he never got going here. But a fast thinker with a very good arm can make it in this offense even if he isn't super fast as long as he is above average speed. Hooker isn't super fast, it takes him awhile to get going. He doesn't have a fast first step. A savvy above average runner with great presence and a very good arm can make it here. We just don't want somebody that can't move it all or is slow. Things happen fast in this league. Being able to process things fast is the most important thing. GBO!!!!

Best of luck Harrison, I hope you find a good place to continue your career and light it up....Oklahoma could use a good QB and so could USC.

Caleb Williams is on the right side of ok.

 

[JCHateSteve]

Good luck to him. I figured it was coming. Hopefully he does better in a different system.

Nobody does. Hendan"s up there with the more mobile mortals currently populating college football.

Someone will be getting a good QB in the right system

 

[LWSVOL]

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.

since August 1 when 2022 portal cycle started, 200 players have entered the portal. Players can start contacting schools and schools can contact players. The earlier one goes into portal, the quicker he beats others to talking with other programs.

 

[TheVolsFrog]

Maybe Rattler transfers to UT?

Naw doubt it...It was just being tossed around

 

[GetYouSomeofThat]

This young man is going to destroy us in a game sometime in the next four years. It is the Tennessee way. And heaven help us is Hooker gets injured again and Milton is our ONLY backup. I like Coach Heupel and think he is doing some great things. But this one decision is NOT wise

Its the Tennesse way


When has that happened before?

IMO too many here fell in love with an 18yo kid.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

I love the players being able to transfer, they should have that right...BUT, halfway through the season is quitting. You got beat out, finish the season and go wherever you want.

I agree, you don’t “love” your brothers if you’re quitting on them. What happens if Hooker gets hurt and Milton does his normal thing? We need a 3rd scholarship QB in the mix. At this point, I trust Heupel’s assessment. This kid got beat out by JG…. Enough said

He was third string here. He’s not transferring and starting at Oklahoma.
