I think Tennessee has honed in on Emory Jones.

Emory is a beast in his own right. It's going to be tough to beat out OSU though.

Hopefully Quincy Avery will help us with Emory Jones.

So Tennesse is going after the 40th best player in the nation over hands down the #1 overall because of a system fit? IMO Trevor is the kind of talent you change your system for.

To be fair. Lawrence could be a beast in their system as well.

You been letting an Aggie use your phone? That's an interesting autocorrect.

I'd agree with this, but he's even athletic enough to fit into the existing system more or less. May not be dialing a lot of called QB runs, but he throws well enough on the move and has the get up and go to make defenses pay if they leave him uncovered on a roll out.

More accurately, UT found they were probably going to be 3rd or 4th and shifted gears toward the next best available for them. Emory is probably a little underrated, while not the top passer, he is an elite athlete and could very easily fit the Dobbs type role (maybe a slightly better passer?) UT could do a lot worse.

They would have taken him in a heartbeat. No one would turn down the number 1 QB in the land. I do believe they honed in on Jones based on a feeling that they were 3rd and Trevor Lawrence probably relayed that info. Jones is not even a lock for UT as OSU is a player here as well.

I agree, but Lawrence isn't wanting to play in a zone read offense, I don't blame him for looking elsewhere.

That's exactly what we did, and at no time did I imply that we would have ever passed on him. Like some fricksticks in this thread are inferring.

10-4. With tOSU getting Haskins and Martell you gotta think Tennnesse has a pretty damn good shot at Emory. Good luck.

Lol, no. You were beaten out for Lawrence so now you've moved on to Jones. Emory is a damn good QB, but Lawrence is such a superior project, regardless of system.

He's gonna go to UGA. It's interesting that I think he's the best QB prospect since Deshaun Watson, and his recruitment will basically be the exact opposite of Deshaun's. Deshaun liked UGA's staff best and would have stayed home but he liked Clemson's offense better. Lawrence likes Dabo best and has a better relationship with the Clemson staff (likely in part to the longevity relative to Smart's new time as UGA's coach), but he likes UGA's offense better.

Sucks because he's gonna be incredible. I just hope Hunter is somewhat close to what he'll be.

Hunter's numbers last year make me hesitant to label him so high. But that's obviously just me

In all fairness, Tennessee seems to be stacked at QB for the foreseeable future. They have Dobbs this year, Dormady, a solid backup, and supposedly Guarantano is the real deal.

Lawrence is a stud, but Tennessee will be just fine without him.
