Gomab, I don't think that J.P. and Tyler Smith have a lot of hype going into the final cut. Tyler Smith was once considered the top player in this class thus he's been somewhat of a disappointment in the minds of National scouts, but his hype comes from within the state. As was evident when he played well against Brandon Wright at Vanderbilt. J.P. made a name for his self outside of Tennessee with great court vision, a high basketball IQ, and big-time production no matter who's in front of him.

In the senior class their's and abundance of talented point guards in the East, therefore J.P. must beat out the likes of Louis Williams-Georgia , Jamont Gordon-undecided, Greg Paulus-Duke, Byron Eaton-Oklahoma State, or Mario Chalmers-Kansas to make the squad. Tyler will be batling Julian Wright-Kansas, Danny Green-North Carolina, Brandon Rush-NBA? Notice Jamont Gordon and Louis Williams are being listed as PG's.

 

The last time Tennessee had two McDonald's All-American's in same year was Cedric Henderson-East and Duece Ford-Fairley in 1993. That game featured Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, and Randy Livingston and was held in Memphis Tn.

I do think that both will make the game, as will Jamont. Jamont is not a PG. Prince is often considered a wing, anyways... Would Chalmers and Eaton not be considered for the West team, Chalmers being from Alaska and Eaton in Texas??? I like Tyler as well. Though his stock went "down", he is still a national name, and a very good talent. I do think that both are deserving, and will make the AA squad... I do hate not seeing Reginald still in the running as well, but I expected as much... Good luck to Prince, Smith, and Gordon!!!

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
