Sheriron Jones Tennessee QB Transferring

[InTheZone]

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.

This kid was a topic of conversation on XM 84 this morning.  As a joke.

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.

I would ordinarily agree with you, but Tennessee is packed with talent at QB, right now.

Woodson aside, between Ramart, Nelson and Johns, we'd better have a starting QB for the next couple years, or someone really f'd up.

 

If we have an open scholarship, we need a Coe, Grice, Marcus, Capi...etc. Hopefully not a QB.

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?

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.

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 watched a four star transfer play QB for Akron last year.

And he played his heart out and won us a game against our arch-rival.

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.

Here's an article from his recruitment back in 2015.  It appears we were one of the first schools to offer him.

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.

Years of watching Cleveland Browns quarterback controversies makes me think otherwise.

Note that he said "the higher the level of competition".  Something that was lacking in many of those Browns QB controversies.
