Joei Fiegler and Martin White

[CoachLogan74]

tomorrow is the big day, who will these guys be signing their letters of intent for?

[mobry]

Fiegler to UTC. Which surprises me. I thought someone out of Louisville, North Carolina, Indiana, Southern Miss, and Vany would offer.

UTC does surprise me. They usually go after qbs who can run and throw....more athletic than Fiegler.

[Indian]

They have a new OC which might have been part of it, or maybe they just couldn't pass up on such a talented player. Great pick-up by UTC.

UTC was interested in Smithson from Temple. I'm not really sure what happened there because from what I have seen and know he is a better QB than Fiegler.

White signed with Austin Pea

DISCLAIMER:I think Joei Fiegler is a good quarterback. This doesnt surprise me however. Fiegler was nowhere near the best quarterback the area had to offer. Not only was he the second best QB in his region, rumor has it he may have been the second best QB on his team. Congratulations to Fiegler though. He is a hard working individual and im sure he'll represent Region 2-AA and the Alcoa community well in Chattanooga.

Fiegler WAS actually offered by Louisville, the just didn't seem like they were THAT interested. When UTC coaches told him he has the chance to be the best QB to ever go to the school I'm sure he jumped at the chance. Also, if you look at the conference, (Appy St., Furman, and Ga. Southern), it's the toughest in DII, so I think he made a wise choice as well.

 

About the best QB in the area that's a matter of opinion, (I know CoachLogan and I will always agree to disagree), but none-the-less he's a great one. The state's second all-time passer. His back-up Randall Cobb will be good, but only time will tell if he's better.

 

Also, at Alcoa, Drew Miller committed to Tusculum today, but has yeat to sign, and Logan Love was invited to Tennessee to walk-on, turning down a handful of scholarship offers from other schools.

 

CoachLogan, I hope Richard Harb, has a great career at WCU. He's an outstanding QB.

Romans from Baylor will also play at UTC. He is a very savvy player and has a lot of upside. He has to get stronger and develop quick feet. He doesn't have a strong enough arm for UTC, but he will work hard to develop it. I was hoping Samford would offer him a scholarship, mainly cause of academics. but Coach Gray signed Legette out of Ga. Romans is a better player than Samford's current qb, Adcock. Romans will give Fiegler a run for his money. Romans and his parents have to be patient.

How in the world does Cody Romans get a scholarship at UTC?

He wasn't even the best QB in the city.

I was going back over some stats from last season and here are the top QB's in Chattanooga as of the first of November, 2005:

 

1) Kevin Smithson (Temple) 165-305 for 2,910 yards

 

2) B.J. Coleman (McCallie) 119-206 for 1,917 yards

 

3) Caleb Wilson (Rhea Co.) 115-209 for 1,906 yards

 

4) Zack Woods (Ooltewah) 84-138 for 1,450 yards

 

5) Bradford Turner (East Ridge) 69-123 for 1,360 yards

 

6) Curt Bureau (Sequatchie County) 89-177 for 1,123 yards

 

 

I'm not sure which of these guys are Seniors (except for Smithson).

How does he not get any consideration from the Mocs?

He had almost 3,000 yards passing in 2005 and in 2004 he had 2,702.

He made All-State in both seasons.

 

Yes. I know he plays for little Temple, but the kid is a good QB.

Somebody is missing' out.

There is something everyone on this board needs to realize. What a D1 college coach looks for in a player has almost nothing to do with a kid's stats or accolades as a HS player. Most of the time they want players to be a "blank slate" when they come in, cause they are going to teach you their way of playing whatever position they decide to put you in.

That may be true but Kevin Smithson could play a number of positions.

The kid is like 6'3, 240 and is strong as an ox.
