Why is him being an early enrollee "huge on multiple levels" if he is going to most likely be behind a JUCO for a year or two? What's one semester if he's sitting for 2 years?

If he's good enough to start year-one, coming in early will help. Otherwise, I don't see it being a "huge" benefit.

Not ragging on you, I just don't see all the huge benefits, other than it's less time for other schools to go after him in the Spring if/when their plans fall through on QB recruiting.

It's not a given that Bray won't start just because they are bringing in a juco. that is more of an indication of a lack of faith in nl and/or ns.

Scoggins, Cobb (WR but..), Bray.
Bray had interest in PAC 10 schools but did not get an offer. Fresno and SD offered.
If Bray is your hope then you are seeing something others have not. If TN doesn't get a Big Name QB the recruiting will suffer. This year and last year you have had a terrific defense, great RBs and were questionable at QB and OL.

New regime needs momentum or the honeymoon stops. Meyer was in the same position after his first year. He got Tebow and everything changed to the good. Without winning, without a major change in image, the 'Greatest Staff' talk will disappear along with the momentum.

What do YOU think will happen regarding Qb position?

Story on Tyler Bray from Kingsburg Rcorder

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In July, Tyler took up San Diego State's offer until Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin came calling in August. Tyler then visited Knoxville Sept. 4 to 6 and came home ready to commit to the Volunteers.

"Tennessee did not offer me anything more than San Diego State, but I just felt right there because it felt like home. It has a warm and southern-comfort atmosphere, the fans are great and they were yelling at me everywhere I went, so I felt welcome. I have no clue how they knew who I was. My name tag was on backwards and I put it behind my back. I was walking around town with a hat on and people were still yelling at me. The Tennessee fans are incredible, they stand and yell the whole game, and everyone knows everything about football because it is a religion down there. It is just an incredible and breathtaking experience, and I can't wait to get over there."

The entire Bray family visited Tennessee on Labor Day weekend in September for Tyler's official recruiting visit. While Tyler flew out a day in advance, parents Jeff, Lori and younger brother Austin took a red-eye flight into Knoxville, and arrived only an hour before kickoff of the game between Tennessee and Western Kentucky. They changed clothes in the airport bathroom and were immediately whisked away to the stadium in a private car. The Brays only made it to their seats on time thanks to a private golf cart ride through a back gate entrance.

"We flew all night, went straight to the game, never got any sleep and never got a shower," said Lori Bray.

Tyler officially committed to play at Tennessee Sept. 8, just days before the start of his high school football season.

"I committed early because I didn't want to have to deal with all the stress of coaches calling me every night, wanting me to go to their school," Tyler said, who has 1,565 passing yards and 20 touchdowns so far during the Vikings perfect 7-0 start this season. "I just wanted to get it out of the way so I could focus on football this season."

Not only did Tyler commit to Tennessee, his whole family did too.

The Bray family moves with Tyler to Tennessee in December, just after school breaks for the holidays. Mom and dad will rent out their house in Kingsburg and rent a home in Knoxville. Lori Bray, a nurse, has already applied for her health care license in Tennessee. Jeff Bray, who owns his own marketing agency, is considering several options for his future employment. He also hopes to coach Austin in high school basketball.

We got a big name QB and his name is Tyler Bray. We seen him dominate the competition at the Elite 11 and immediately offered. All the West Coast schools had already gotten their QBs by that time...

I watched the Elite 11 special and Bray dominated the accuracy competition. Him and Heaps were the best QBs there.

Yet another epic fail of a post by a Gator troll. The only reason Pac-10 schools didn't offer Bray was because they already had their QBs for this class. USC had Scroggins, UCLA had Nottingham, Cal had Hinder, Washington had Montana, etc. Bray would have been next in line to get a USC offer if they had missed on Scroggins.

BTW, the situation Meyer inherited from Zook is far better than what Kiffin inherited from Fulmer. Kiffin is trying to rebuild one of the least talented teams in our program's history. Meyer didn't have to do that at Florida; he just had to coach up the players Zook left behind.

I'm almost embarrassed for you to see how much you care about our recruiting.. If we're not getting any big time recruits then why waste your time telling us?

Do you go to Miss St., Auburn, and Kentucky boards to tell them how much their recruiting sucks? Just wondering..

I agree the situation was much better for Meyer. My point is that the honeymoon with the recruits is dependant upon wins and or big time continued success. Meyer got his in Tebow or the program would not have succeeded like it has.

Pac 10 would have offered but...they had better QBs.
USC would have??? Who says?

Talk about your epic FAILED. LOL:crazy:

He is the #6 rated QB in the country. I will take that. HE will be kicking your ass for the next 4 years, so you will get to know him quite well.

I don't think you realize that your opinion will change no one's around here or many others who know we're recruiting monsters and will be back on top of the SEC.

Answer this question for me.. how does a 3-4 and 5-7 Tennessee team have a top 10 recruiting class 2 consecutive years... IF winning is the sole dependant on getting recruits?
