Just so he can beat FL next year with an ex-FL QB. Talk about rubbing your nose in it. |

I think he's holding out to try to sway Scroggins or another big name, but I see us signing Newton in the end. Seriously, anything is an upgrade from what we've got now. |

I've been saying the same thing all week ... but that angle definitely makes it even more intriguing doesn't it. ^o) You can't go into 2010 with one career backup who can't even beat out the WWB, one totally unknown quantity in Lamison, and one single true freshman in Bray. This year has shown you need all the options going into spring you can have with the QB position. Just don't think Stephens is a great option for 2010 ... with 2011 being THE key year for Kiffin ... he has to have his future QB in place by middle of 2010 ... and he needs at least 2 legit options to choose from ... Bray and ????? Cam Newton is a logical choice ....... and the fact that he's a former Gator ... that makes it all the more sweeter. Indian or anyone else .. what is your take on Newton?? Headcase?? Trouble waiting to happen?? Can he work In CLK's system?? |

I agree, I think Lamaison is very iffy, don't know if he returns. If not, we just have Bray and Stephens. I like Bray, but I'd like some insurance If I am Kiffin. Cam Newton, a juco former 5 star QB with SEC experience sounds good. I don't think he's a headcase, he got in trouble for the laptop incident, but has not been in trouble at juco from what I understand. Worth taking the risk, if he fits the system. Not sure how good a passing QB he is though. can you imagine though, beating FL (and we will beat them in Neyland next year, mark my words) with and ex FL QB? What would Urban's excuse be? Measles? Laryngitis? Rickets? |

I'm hearing that the staff might just turn Brunetti before all is said and done. Getting Bray and Brunetti in the fold would be big. I am also hearing that Cam Newton likely isn't going to happen by UT's choice. |

I'm not concerned about Bray leaving if Brunetti were to commit ... I think Bray has always wanted to be a Vol and play at Manning's school. Still, Brunetti had an offer after committing to West Virginia, and he didn't change his commitment. Now that Bray is on board, it just seems less likely that he would commit. But I would love to have both these guys on the team! |

It's my understanding that Brunetti is still listening. One thing we have seen with this staff and recruiting is that they are never out of it as long as their is communication going on. Bray is a Vol and he will be here in just over 3 months. |
