InTheZone Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I've been told the Zips are on his short list and there's mutual interest. He was a great player coming out of high school, I'd certainly like to see what he has left in the tank. http://tennessee.247sports.com/Article/Quarterback-Sheriron-Jones-leaving-Tennessee-Vols-football-progr-52593886 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K92 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 This kid was a topic of conversation on XM 84 this morning. As a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 I'm usually excited about the thought of a transfer from a P5 but cannot get excited about the thought of this QB who was at best 3rd on the depth chart, sometimes 4th in a wide open race. I'd rather the scholly go somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have an open scholarship, we need a Coe, Grice, Marcus, Capi...etc. Hopefully not a QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreed5120 Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 If the staff feels he's a significant upgrade over what we have, I have no problem with it. If not, there is no point. I wonder how many available scholarships we have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean, a 3rd or 4th string P5 player like Warren Ball? Plenty of people here were excited about that situation (still are) and we knew we were only going to have him for one year. We'd likely have a lot more to benefit from this situation, if we could get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsoutsider Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 From what I have heard, we aren't going to win without Tommy. Scholarships have a way of opening up when they need He was a 4 star recruit by all of the major recruiting sites. If he can be a solid back-up or even a competitor, bring him in to camp.

I've heard good things about Kato. But he's young, and I'm sure the coaching staff would feel much better with a 5th year senior at the helm if Tommy's back to full health.

InTheZone Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Here's an article from his recruitment back in 2015. It appears we were one of the first schools to offer him.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2070897-4-star-qb-sheriron-jones-talks-decision-plans-being-a-cam-newton-look-a-like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueandgold Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I say, if we can get him to come here, why not? The higher the competition level at QB, the better chance we have of having a good/great starting QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note that he said "the higher the level of competition". Something that was lacking in many of those Browns QB controversies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
