Trent Dilfer said we landed the top qb class in the nation. Both qbs were in elite 11. I'm stoked to have both of these guys... only question is can we keep both? A lot of these guys will transfer out once the other gets over them on the depth chart.

This is a game changer for the program.

Nice pickup! I am sure his family will enjoy seeing him play closer to home.

Nice -- can't beat smarts at the quarterback position when it's joined with athletic talent. I constantly marvel at how these kids handle the intellectual demands of the position. I LOVE our group of quarterbacks, and to me, all of them will work well with the new offense.

CBJ has done a great job with this class. Did we get everyone we wanted? No, but he'll coach them up and I really looking forward to see what Coach can do with a full year to recruit. Go Vols

Quite a stock of QB's. Should keep things interesting. Looking forward to seeing what happens in Spring. Again we reloaded on offense. If we can get Hurd next year, we'll be in great shape there. Really need some elite defensive talent. Carr will be disruptive, for sure. Everyone else will need to surprise.

Agree Ohio. If this staff shows that they are good at developing talent, winning close games, upsetting some favorites, and sending kids to NFL from UT, then recruiting will become a whole different game. For now, UT is still on the outside looking in on the big boys. We will have to get pushy if we want to play at the big table.

wow! Dobbs is 47 for 47 on his highlight film! Seriously, he seems to have a quick release and a good arm. I also noticed he kept his eyes downfield while scrambling and was able to make plays on the move. It's hard to judge a qb's accuracy from a highlight reel because they're all 100%. Maybe this kid can engineer the Vols into a bowl game.

I think they will be able to compete for the starting job, I think DOBBS could be huge for us.
