Title: I'm trying to catch up, but has anyone mentioned Guarantano's signing yet?

If not, VOL!  Former #Vols QB Erik Ainge on Jarrett Guarantano: “He’s got all the tools. All of ‘em. He’s way better than I was in high school."

I think he's the most physically gifted QB we've ever had (and that's saying something).  He'll redshirt this year (barring a disastrous run of injuries) but if he picks up the offense quickly, I think he can win the starting job in 2017.

I'm still using Schuler as THE standard, but Dad uses Holloway.

Holloway in this offense would have been great.  He was a pretty good passer, though I guess an argument could be made the Sievers helpers, a lot.  We have not had a receiver that could make a catch if the ball was only within 5 yards like he could in a long, long time.  His receiving area was huge.

If you watch JG's film, he has the strongest arm I've ever seen on a HS kid.  Just a cannon.  He's also the fastest player on the field, but mostly in designed runs.  The film doesn't show off a lot in the way of improvisational skills (probably because he never needed to).  We'll have to see how that develops.  I had the same question about Dobbs prior to this past season, and he turned out pretty good in that area.
