Quarterbacks don't flip as often as other positions. Most QBs lock down early. Once he makes his decision, whoever loses out (I'm assuming UT or RU) is going to go to their next choice and move on. Very unlikely he flips after making his decision, no matter which school he commits to.
Post here: The OFFICIAL PREDICTION thread...Jarrett Guarantano to......?
- Thread starter Scarlet Shack
- Start date
The reasons that I heard that was being held against RU was:
1-Loss of Fridge; the elder JG really believed in him
2-Level of talent that would surround JG at RU when compared to Tenn or OSU
3-It wasn't SEC v Big Ten. it was SEC v Rutgers. Even for legacy players, RU is still seen as the little engine that couldn't

Wambash flipped last year. Alabama, Oregon and ND also all lost top QB's last year.

This statement is not true. At all.
The reason a commitment matters, especially from a recruit of JG's caliber, is that it other recruits will follow. If JG commits to RU Wednesday, you will see other big recruits fall in line behind him. If he commits wednesday it heightens the chances of an Ahmir Mitchell following. Can they decommit down the road? Of course. But if they build a legitimate class of 4 stars there will be no reason to.
I'll give you Wimbush, but Town decommitted from Bama because Nussmeier left and Barnett decommitted from ND to take Town's spot at Bama. Not sure about the Oregon QB you're referencing. Not saying it never happens, but a QB waiting this long to commit is very unlikely to decommit. I would gladly wager that Guarantano sticks, no matter who he chooses,
Hey Musteng, thanks for giving your analysis. What's the feeling on DeBord as OC? He had a pretty bad record as HC at Central Michigan, and prior to that he was OC at Michigan during some good times.
I hate reason one.......I would have thought that RU could have retained Fridge in some capacity, enough to assure
JG that Fridge would have input and guidance for him at RU....
we should have been able to do something along those lines, if needed.
ok then.....and now the latest from a Vol source:
one inside the Tenn program and the other who is well connected to New Jersey, that after Jarrett Gurantano commits to the vols on April 15 that Kareem Walker will decommit from OSU shortly after and will be a vol by August. Just remember you heard it here first. Butch gets who Butch wants.
How can you turn down the opportunity to be the likely quarterback at Rutgers for the 150th anniversary of college football? You will be the center of attention - just my word to the recruits.

I think that most of us were not happy with the pick originally. We remembered him from those Michigan offenses that weren't too exciting. Many wanted them to move Azzanni (the WR Coach) to OC and move Nick Sheridan (GA) to QB Coach because they didn't want to lose Azzanni. I think most everybody has warmed up to him because the recruits (and more importantly the current players) seem to like him. The hope is that he will bring a little bit better of a downhill rushing game back, as he has a lot of OL experience and he is working with them quite a bit. Early read is positive, just too soon to tell though.
I can almost guarantee you that is BS. There has been no mention of Walker having any real interest in UT by any of the mods on either of the UT main sites. Just like every other board, we have a bunch of guys who attempt to build their e-cred with stuff like that. .
LMAO at this part. That's the funniest stuff Ive heard in a while. If this guy is correct I'll die laughing
He's been showing interest in Tennessee and Ohio State to hype up Wednesday when he announces Rutgers.
Joe Flacco chose Pitt over Rutgers and others and ended up at Delaware.
Some day Rutgers will be a prime first choice for NJ HS talent who actually like their home state... I do not know if today is that day... but that day is coming.

Yup. This place is going to be in meltdown mode through next weekend. If the kid was coming here he'd have said so already.
I would like to believe that, but I would bet that he already let the coaches of the 3 teams know what his decision is. He tweeted that he was making his final calls last night. That leads me to believe that Tennessee is definitely hi choice. IMO, there is no way that everyone on the vols board is still so positive if he let the coaches know he was not going to be a vol. The coaches there would leak the info out to the so called insiders who in tern would have modified their definitive "he's our" statements to salvage some credibility. Also, OSU people are still not confident to get him.
The only people that have not leaked anything out is the RU people who undoubtedly would know by now if JG made the calls he said he was doing last night. Maybe RU coaches leaked info to the SN staff, but they aren't as loose lipped as the TN and OSU site mods.

I here you loud and clear
There isn't too much going on...so better to talk about this than other nonsense

Usually, Coaches know who is going to commit, sometimes weeks before they do. So, my 2 cents......
As I look at our offer sheet, I see 3 legit QB offers, 1. Guarantano 2. D. Haskins 3. A. Russo.
With Guarantano and Haskins, Flood would be extremely happy with either, Russo is also very talented reads well, good arm, excellent timing and accuracy, but just not either Guarantano's or Haskins level. He is the fall back guy(sorry Mr. Russo no offense).
Then you have a 4th QB, Steven Duncan, who I believe if pursued, would commit to RU. He is BIG, with a BIG arm, but slow afoot. Does move well in the pocket, and reads defenses well for his age, similar to Russo.
But, that is it! And, based on the Lack of activity from the RU coaching staff, they know where Guarantano is going..............
RUTGERS!

Hope its RU but agree with Wheezer and Bill86. UT gives him the best combination (in his eyes) of college atmosphere, coaching staff, and playing time.
Can't help feeling he would be happiest at RU. But not my decision.

Forgot about Anthony Brown, in a regular year, both he and Duncan would have been offered, by now. Brown has not committed to Syracuse, so probably waiting for RU offer. Which, adds validity to my prediction.
I like Brown, but a little short for our Offense.

This is the one I don't get--coaching staff. Butch Jones hasn't done jack. And his choice of OC is suspect. Maybe I will ultimately be wrong, but I see Tennessee flopping with all of their highly rated talent, just like Michigan and Texas over the last several years.
