Who's the "Big Fish"

by BBrown on Jul 28, 2009 5:14 PM EDT

Today on Volnation and everybody on GVX was talking about some "Big Fish" quaterback thats going to commit to us.

Apparently some top- flight quarterback is going to commit to the Vols and the word got out today on a radio show and we dont know if Kiffin said that we were going to get a QB like that or not but on the radio show they said that kiffin said that we were going to get a "big fish" QB. Personally I think if we are getting a QB its that 4 star QB named Tyler Bray from California with a really strong arm and hes 6 foot 6. Go Vols.

No end it… Please. When will Peter return?

There has been a lot of chatter about this for a little over a week

Hard to believe, but a couple of reliable people are saying it, too. Of course, some other reliable people are saying it’s not true at all.

If there is something to this

I won’t believe it’s a qb currently committed to another school without significant information suggesting it might be so. Qbs just don’t operate that way; they’re not just players, they’re going to run the offense one day. The entire thought process is different for them.

Bray hasn’t had his visit yet, so it seems unlikely (though not impossible) that he’s an imminent commit. Brunetti, though committed elsewhere, is still in the rumor phase. Outside of that, I’m not sure where to look.

I appreciate the link that says the Chatt. Radio talk guy has no idea who it is, but...

It’s hard to get excited about an unknown – other than to acknowledge again that they are still working on the need. Thanks for the link and the post, though.

Info on Chattanooga Sports Talk

The link won’t open the sound bite for me, but I do listen the local sports talk and they have predicted a few things in the past.

Two days before signing day, Dr. Basketball predicted 5 suprise signings Tennessee would get on signing day.

4 out of 5 were correct including Nu’keese and Marsalis Teague. The one he missed was Marlon Brown, which I think came as a suprise to everyone.

He predicted on signing day that Janzen Jackson would commit in the next day or so, and he did the very next day.

He predicted a week ahead of time that Bryce Brown would commit.

He predicted 3 days prior to the declaration that Tyler Smith would return.

Now, what does that mean? Most likely nothing. Those predictions aren’t earth shattering by any means, but he does seem to have a source or something that gives him some inside info on things.

As far as BBrown’s “big fish”, it could have been Markeith Ambles, or it could be someone else coming up like Brunetti or Bray, but don’t hold your breath until a specific name comes out….

Hold on let me go grab my popcorn!

Now, I’ll just kick back and wait until “Peter Griffin” shows up also.

Listened to Doctor B yesterday

His “source”, who’s been right about everyone this year except Orson Charles, is stating that DACOACHO is the driving force behind the “big fish”. According to “Batman” (the source), the Vols will soon reel in (pun intended) a certain West Virginia commit in an effort to put a fence around Tennessee.

I, for one, don’t know what to think of this, but I will say Tee Martin didn’t do half bad and they share similar attributes.
