The "Big Fish" Quarterback Rumor

Who is "X". And now apparently we have an update coming concerning our 2010 QB situation tomorrow? I'm confused.

I just read this blog for the first time since someone posted about it. My guess (since that's what we do here) is this:

It's a 2011 QB commit.

Why? The blog specifically references Sept 1 and that it's a big day for us this year. Well, I believe this is the first day "official" scholarship offers can be extended to 2011 recruits (as opposed to verbal offers) -- or something along those lines. If 9/1 is important, I have to think it deals with the '11 class. I'm sure the recruiting gurus can check if that 9/1 date is correct for the 2011 class or not.

VolByBirth...while you could be right, he does not directly say that Sept. 1st is related to any of the rumors we've been hearing. Tony was listing the items that X will post tomorrow, and the fact that Sept. 1st is an important date was one of those points. It is an important dates because offers go out then, and sure...maybe that is when we get a commitment from a big name....but I don't think that is where X is going. I think that instead it is a big date because we see what direction we're going in for 2011....and more importantly, it's the first day that this staff will finally stop playing catch-up with regard to recruiting a group of kids.

2011 guys can commit on verbal offers. There's no reason they would have to wait until Sept. 1.

I posted this in another thread, but if the "X" guy from Basilio is reliable (which confirms I just read that blog for the first time today when someone mentioned it) it has to deal with a 2011 QB commit. He kept referencing 9/1 as a huge day -- and the first day "official" scholarship offers go out for 2011 kids. So that's my guess for the day.

Now, I don't know if this thread is talking about the same thing "X" is but they both revolve around big news about a QB. Thought it was relevant.

I know Milton will probably commit, but who else?

Milton is the obvious one. Fulton, Milton, and Prater are VERY close friends. The feeling around the staff is IF Prater makes it in this weekend and Milton commits, then Prater may as well. Thats a big if since Prater didnt make it in last time, but I expect Prater to make it in Saturday. Prater is a longshot if you ask me, but not according to the staff. The staff is also very excited about Prince Shembo and Ladarius Owens are announcing soon and they may both be vols. Norte Dame still remains there with Shembo, and they may factor in his decision. Auburn is in Owens head as well. Brandon Willis is talked of being torn between FSU and UT, and they expect him to announce soon. Corey Lemonier and Calvin Smith are both visiting this weekend and both like UT alot. Demarco Cobbs is another one to watch that has UT in his top 3, and the staff feels it is a Bama-UT battle. And one final thing is QBs. The Vols have really picked up heat on Munchie Lequax and Barry Brunneti. The coaches feel that they can turn Brunetti and Tyler Bray by signing day, which I feel can happen as well. Brunetti is obviously the number 1 QB of their board as of now.
With Leguax, David Reeves feels he can work with him on his mechanics and turn him into a good QB in two seasons. He is a heck of a athlete, and has a good upside IYAM.
Hopes this info helps.:hi:

:eek:hmy:

Idk about Munchie... just don't have a good feeling with him. I think we get 2 out of these 4 Brunetti/Bray/Baty/Munchie.

Its down to a u-pick-it now. Could be true, could not be true. Rumors have shifted to "before camp starts". I don't know, I've got 2 weeks until I go back to work and I can get some rest from all this!
