Staxawax Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 LOL, he's a year from being on campus. A lot can change in 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are Jackson, one big obstacle to becoming the starting QB at UT was just removed. I would not be at all shocked if Huepel were to make some type of committment to Jackson if Tayven can lure Curry down to Knoxville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, a coach at a school in the top Power 5 football conference in the country is going to make some type of commitment to a guy who is a year away from taking his first college snap, simply because he delivers a prized recruit … who also has never taken a college snap? I don’t think so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DT Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Huepel strikes me as a bit of a snake. He is a career climber and resume builder. Will do what it takes to climb the ladder. They put on quite the Hollywood hype production for Jackson when he was in Knoxville a few weeks back. They want Curry. Bad. Its very easy to connect the dots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very easy to connect the dots Let’s look at the other side of that coin. Curry to the Vols is, at best, a real long shot. If Jackson cannot deliver Curry, do you believe it puts him at a disadvantage in the QB competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its closer to home than Alabama or Clemson. UT has the 15th best roster in the country. Theyve been poorly coached. Lots of upside to that program. https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Football/CollegeTeamTalentComposite/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its very easy to connect the dots Huepel's not going to get a very long honeymoon in Knoxville. Jeremy Pruitt lasted 3 years, Butch Jones lasted 5 years (and was spared due to a couple 9 win seasons), and Dooley before them lasted 3 years. As "prized" as Curry may be, Huepel isn't going to just hand the reigns over to a true freshman QB in win now mode because he delivered a recruit who likely isn't to make a major impact until his upperclassmen years.

Also not sure he's fast enough to play wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is looking to be a high draft pick (1-3) or any pick at all for that matter the numbers highly lean in Ohio State favor. Over last 5 years Ohio State has had 43 total picks , 1st = 1, 2nd = 7, 3rd = 11, 4th = 4, 5th = 3, 6th = 2, 7th =5 were as Tennessee has had 13 total picks, 1st. = 1, 2nd. = 1, 3rd =4, 4th = 0, 5th = 0, 6th = 6, 7th = 1. If he's not 100% NFL bound or bust I think Tennessee would be a good fit for Curry for many reasons you provided. I would prefer UT because I dont want to see him killing IU quarterbacks for the next 3 years. LOL Truthfully, Ive never been a fan of TN. Im surprised they continue to recruit as well as they do.

The question is whether they developed the players into high draft picks or simply recruited them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DT Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) OSU basically views Curry as the third Bosa brother. They want him. Personally I like him better as a DT in a 4 man defensive line. DE gets all the glory, but DT do all the dirty work. Curry manhandles people at the line of scrimmage, and has great speed and technique to break thru and pressure the passer. He is like a bigger version of Aaron Donald At 6-5. 285, he will be a monster Edited June 26, 2021 by DT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grover Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I should have known better than to use the term “always” on an Internet forum but you reinforce my point that if you’re good enough the NFL will find you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A DT in a 4-3 scheme or a DE in a 3-4 scheme is much more of a pass rush threat than ever before and those who can do it cash in big time during contract negotiations (see Aaron Donald, Chris Jones, DeForest Buckner, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
