'16 NC QB Austin Kendall

"Trust Butch." -VN response to current situation that he may decommit

"Don't want if he's skeered of competition." -VN response after decommitment

 

Also forgot

"He ain't mobile enough for Butch's system anyway."

 

If he ends up at Kentucky, didn't want. Seriously. That's a precipitous fall.

 

Can't wait until Khalil meets him across the middle.

 

The only thing I trust Butch doing is recruiting

 

We had one scholarship QB. What the hell did he want them to do?

 

Probably mismanage it like he has the QB position thus far.

 

I'd take Kendall over the three guys we got. I'd be shocked if jones takes a snap here if Kendall comes.

 

Prepare to be shocked.

 

If he wants to play w/ his brother in college that's one thing but upset due to signing three QB's this cycle? I think we're okay there. Then there's the fact that Jennings may move to S after having his shot at QB.
For Jones, recruiting seems to be his thing. I'm sure he and Kendall have discussed where the three in this class and he (Kendall) fit into the scheme of things.

 

Honestly though, if you're afraid of getting beat out, just go elsewhere. Doesn't sound like much of a competitor if this is true.

 

Yea, you definitely don't want your qb to be scared of competition.

 

I doubt he would be scared of competition if he is an elite qb. However I do see where he would want to go somewhere else if he is guaranteed playing time

 

Not to mention, it wouldn't take a real bright kid to realize that his coaches at Tennessee wouldn't include a QB coach or anyone with a record of developing QB's.

 

Maybe the kid is looking elsewhere since Butch actually managed to downgrade at the OC position.

 

And no established QB coach

 

This too. If the kid is smart, he'll definitely explore his options.

 

GBFO

 

True, you always want to explore all options and ultimately due what is in your best interest. Jennings and Jones are D-T, he and Dormady Pro-Style. That said, the kid seems to be a competitor, to be the best you want to compete against the best so I don't think signing three (qb's) this cycle will influence his decision. Further, there is the (good) chance one of the current three changes positions, too as a coach (and player) you have to factor in the possiblity of injury to one or more in the group.

I gotta say I really like the thought of having a QB corps of Kendall, Jones, and Dormady and quite possibly Jennings. Last time we had this type talent was Banks (position switch-WR), Ainge, and Schaeffer (dismissed / transferred)

 

Did Banks even play a game with Ainge/Schaeffer? I'm pretty sure he was kicked off the team before they got on campus.
