Not too bad being #2 on the depth chart as a RS frosh (he didn't burn his redshirt as someone stated above) at a school with the talent that Tennessee has at the QB position. But he didn't do himself any favors by his non verbals during the game. Maybe he was told that he would get a series or 2 in the 2nd half and the game situation dictated that was not possible? But he handled it poorly and the coaches will address it. The other thing is that Tenn brings in the next big thing every year at QB so he will be challenged even after the current starter graduates. That is the risk in going there. Maybe he never ends up seeing the field and developing for the next level. Time will tell.

When I said "I don't see a problem" it was in regards to Butch selling him on having success at TN. Every coach does that. It wasn't in regards to his sideline behavior.

yes, but if things hold as they are, JG sits behind Dormady this year and next...... in reality it figures JG gets in there sometime, but it is possible he is the backup next year also..... for him, that must seem like a lifetime.
why? so he'd be a toxic fit in the locker room? I'd rather have Lewis any day
Page 3 of an "accused of pouting" thread. We are a sad sack. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
I don't follow recruiting that closely, so this is the first I've heard of this - but showing up at a Rutgers visit wearing Tennessee gear is a no-class move.
TBH when I posted it I just thought it would be nothing more than an interesting side note... lol.
Also, Butch Jones commented on this situation with JG in this article: https://www.rockytoptalk.com/2017/9...uarantano-hes-a-good-teammate-quinten-dormady
Looks like the Coach feels bad, probably realizes he did screw him over with false promises.
Butch should have let him carry around the turnover trash can to keep him more involved in the game.
Next year Tennessee has two more 4 star QBs coming in......that should help JG's attitude even more, especially if he rarely plays this year!!!
At some point, people should realize that their actions have surpassed pouting on the negativity scale.
That starter is not all that. JG could still see the field this yr. Or he could transfer to Syracuse and keep a lil orange in his life
I would play for Flood any day. He interacted robustly with teachers, and did his best to be 1-0 every week. LOL

this addresses my previous post about how Butch would react to this..... it seems that it did not hurt JG's chances of seeing the field.
it could have gone the other way for him....so we should expect him to see the field over the next couple of games.
Butch appears to be a maniac on the sidelines, but I think he responded well and handled the situation in a good way post game.

Or Tennessee goes 7-5/8-4 again, Butch gets fired, new coach wants to play his qb that he brings in and JG rides off into the sunset with the oh so valuable UT degree
Now here's a serious question - say JG decides he wants to transfer back home at the end of the year and reaches out to Ash. Does Ash say yes or no? I'm not asking what SHOULD he say, but rather what will he say?
He's say "You're welcome to come home, we'd love to have you here, but understand this: you will have to EARN your spot on the depth chart. You will NOT be "given" anything other than a scholarship. The rest is up to you."
Yeah I guess you know better than Rutgers, Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, UCLA, Wisconsin and the twenty other schools that offered him.
I remember when BJ was the coach and Cincy and he had his starting qb throw a TD to his staring rb, for their tenth TD of the game. I'll always think the man is low class. JG, well if he is the #2 qb and the offense is not doing well I can see him being disappointed about not getting a shot. I think the board is goin a little hard on him, even commenting on eye black. The football factories offer big crowds and prima donna status to the players but you are just a number and always at risk of over-recruitment. Had he come to RU we probably don't get Bolin and a good chance he is starting here.
Great play by Butch, if he named a starter earlier the kid would have walked, sat this yr and get three to play. Now if he walks, he only gets two to play and will see the field the same time as if he stays....so Me thinks he stays.
I can feel his pain. I was there and he saw the same thing I did during warmups, #12 didn't throw one decent pass, not one. And thought if he keeps that up game time, I'm in. Well, 12 was awful for most of the first half but played the entire game.
The same thing would have happened at RU. There you have to throw a minimum 6 interceptions to get pulled.
The poutting was a bit immature, though.

"Riding the pine" ain't what it used to be. It's not pine, but rather aluminum. That stuff will give you serious sunburn.
We offered with the idea he would eventually play wide. So did every other SEC team besides UT lol.
My version: Ash says "You're welcome to come home, we'd love to have you here, but understand this: you will have to EARN your scholarship. You will NOT be "given" anything other than a spot on the 105 man roster. And, BTW, we don't have a job for daddy. I just don't operate that way."
If he's this close to starting as a RS F the odds are very high he will be the starter at some point.
spot on: "You will NOT be "given" anything "[thumb2]
Talent that went elsewhere should never be turned away if they want to play for RU after being disappointed with their role at the program they went to.
But not accepted if they expect more than a fair chance and possibly be a negative influence in locker-room if they didn't earn a starting position.
Rutgers needs to bring in as much talent as possible, but must make sure that talent doesn't bring a me first attitude with them when transferring to RU from another program .
