Whatever Cannon brings as a QB is just gravy.

I think that's what I said in my original post correct???

ahhhh, NO.

If not, this may set the program back substantially.

From what I have seen, Cannon Smith is not a D-1 QB. He's a kid that might have been ok playing as a 5th year senior QB for some team but it looks like his pops is putting him on the fast track. He didn't dominate high school ball and he was 19 years old as a high school senior.

We might as well get ready for 3 years of Cannon Smith at QB! Hopefully RC can cash in off this move.

In so many words, see bold.

Did you just fall off the Turnip Truck? It's his son.

never been on a turnip truck, but I did bump my head this morning...

My nephew used to play with Cannon for the Wolves when they were in peewee. Fred was at most of the games. Cannon was so young I assumed that he was Fred's grandson. Honest mistake........

Cletus..........either you keep stock photos of turnip trucks or you had to google it. Either way that's just weird. ;-)

No problem ............ but I'm 57 years old and my youngest child is a Freshman in HS.

But I do love me a mess o Turnip Greens. You know kinda like Poke Salad that grows out in the woods and fields. LOL

Man, my respect for you just really went up!

Josh has agreed to recruit for Jerry Gray, so what's the issue?

If anyone thinks a real coach would agree to these terms they are stupid as the original poster ..who is an idiot and NOT A TIGER FAN


NO COACH would agree to play any player before taking a job unless that player was an established starter already and then most would call bull****


The original poster is an ******* and the mods are offline I guess becasue this has been allowed to sty on here so long ...
