Jimmy Clausen (Baltimore Ravens)

Tennessee just gave big brother Rick a coaching position... Looks like Phil is trying very hard to get Jimmy to Knoxville...
Try, try and try again - I just don't see this happening.

I predict that Rick gets to learn the ropes for a couple of seasons (at most) and then becomes another example of the Peter Principle -- with a great donut jelly stained letter of recommendation as he goes to become an Assistant QB coach somewhere in the Mounain West.

I dont even think jimmy clausen will be that good. I had the chance to see some film on him and i while i was impressed with his accuracy, i wasnt with the fact that he always seemed to be dancing in the pocket. I talked to one of my friends that lives in santa cruz and follows califonia high school football and he told me " The kid is a punk"." Doesnt like to get hit and cries when he does". At best i think he will be as good as chris leak. Which is pretty good but not as much as all this hype is worth.

Clausen Plans USC Visit

By Phil Kornblut
Junior QB Jimmy Clausen (6-3 190) of Westlake Village, CA plans to attend Junior Day at USC February 25th along with several of his teammates including highly regarded RB Mark Tyler. Clausen and his teammates attended junior days at Notre Dame and Tennessee. According to sources, Clausen and a few of his teammates would like to attend the same school, and USC may present them with the best option for doing that. Clausen also has been considering Southern Cal and Michigan. USC coaches have been barred from contacting Clausen for offering him before the allowable date. That ban is due to expire next week.

UT After Clausen & Friends

By Phil Kornblut
If being surrounded by familiar faces in college is important to him, then QB Jimmy Clausen (6-3 190) of Westlake Village, CA might take another look at Tennessee. According to Clausen's coach Bill Redell, the Vols have offered scholarships to Clausen and five of his teammates. Of course, Clausens two brothers both quarterbacked at Tennessee. But according to Redell, Tennessee is not a major factor right now. "It's Notre Dame, Southern Cal and South Carolina as far as I now right now, in that order," Redell said. The coach added that to his knowledge USC has not yet offered any of Clausen's teammates. Clausen has been to junior days at Notre Dame and Tennessee and is expected, along with some of his teammates, to attend junior day at USC later this month.

WOW... They are going all out. The RB that is his teammate (Marc Tyler) is big-time, but to offer 5 guys to try and get one is a tad excessive...

Especially if he turns out to be as overrated as his two brothers.

Yeah, there is no sure thing and to offer that many of his teammates just to try and pull him in is crazy.

I watched his film and he reminds me a lot of Kyle Wright the QB from Cryami.

He has some nice zip on his ball, but in his videos his WR's are wide wide wide open and he isnt getting pressure at all. It will be interesting to see him in a all star type game like the Army bowl.

Its obvious right now that Fulmer is under a ton of pressure to bring the program back to where it was in the late 90's. Its the first time personally I have heard of 5 teammates being offered in the hopes of landing one prospect.
