The only thing I can guarantee you for sure is that Tennessee Volunteer fans are gonna cry, whine and make up irrational reasons as to why they did not land Trevor Lawrence. It's what they do. Especially lately.

But regarding our chances, I'm not sure. What I can say is that prior to The Opening there was some film of him tossing the ball around while sporting a UGA shirt. Take it for what it is but had that been a Clemson shirt then perhaps I'd feel more confident in our odds of landing him. He's one of the more advanced QBs to come out of high school recently. You'll get a kick out of this but Scout.com did a mock 2021 draft just for kicks and they had Trevor going #1 overall to the Jets. A few other Tiger prospects and commits are on their list as well (link below). Anyhow, here's a brief timeline, some notes and quotes-

Article from July 11th, 2016: “They (Clemson) have some good receivers coming in there, they always recruit well at that position,” Lawrence told Mansell, “but Georgia is also recruiting good, they both are going to have players where ever I decide to go.”

Georgia is also an hour closer to Lawrence than Clemson, and also in the state of Georgia.
“Just it is in-state, they want me and they need me, they feel like I can help build the 2018 class around me hopefully, because they are loading up in 2017,” Lawrence said of Georgia. “They are hoping if they get me that will help more in the 2018 class.”

From Sunday June 13th, 2016: “I think I am getting closer to a decision, I go to Clemson next week and then there is the dead period, so I will have time to think more then and we will see after that,” Lawrence said. When asked if Lawrence had a leader he replied “no sir.” Rusty Mansell 247sport.com

Camped in Clemson in June of 2016. All indications are that he had a great stay and spent plenty of time with Dabo and coach Streeter.

Visited UGA Camp in June of 2016 and had this to say, "A lot of them are from Georgia, so they stayed home and played for their state — that is one big thing that is big to me too."

Lawrence recently spoke to Scout.com on 6/13/16 and had the following to regarding UGA, "I can [see myself there] — Jacob Eason will probably secure his spot in the next year or something like that, so he will be there, but I want to compete with him from day one. I will probably early enroll wherever I go, so if it is Georgia I would be going in to compete on day one."

May 14th, 2016- Unofficially visited UGA

May 5th, 2016- Jim Chaney (UGA) visited him, marking his second visit; the other was on April 15th.

3/5/16- Unofficially visited Clemson for Junior Day. "Good visit," Lawrence said. "A lot of stuff academic wise, saw all the facilities again and had some good talks with the coaches." He was very impressed with Clemson's coaching staff. "Coach Streeter and really just the whole staff, they are awesome."

2/22/16- “Clemson actually has two 2017 (quarterbacks) now in Chase (Brice) and (Hunter Johnson) who had been committed to Tennessee that flipped,” Lawrence said. “They are both pretty good. I think that’s what brought Clemson down to number three from a number one like I would say they were a couple of months ago.”

Write up from DawgNation colberttiger posted says this:
https://www.dawgnation.com/football/recruiting/nations-no-1-player-should-decide-very-soon-between-georgia-and-clemson

"He’s only made one “B” in high school (Honors Biology) and a forensics major is a possibility. "

Then there's this write up by USA Today..this is a real nice write up on him btw:
http://usatodayhss.com/2015/how-trevor-lawrence-nations-no-1-sophomore-football-recruit-survives-the-hype

"During an interview with USA TODAY High School Sports in his coach’s office, Lawrence peppered most of his responses with “Yes, sir” and “No, sir” and showed the level-headed, calm demeanor that his coaches and teammates say he displays on the field."

"Before the season, Lawrence, his coaches and father put together a game plan to deal with it all.
The first piece was limited activity on social media. Lawrence sent out a tweet before the season began that said he appreciated the attention from the media and recruiting analysts but directed all inquiries to King or his father. “For the next few months, my focus will be on academics and helping my team and myself prepare for Friday nights and winning a state championship,” the tweet said.

Sound like someone familiar? (DW4 perhaps)?

That answer you question about grades, ethics, etc?

Trevor Lawrence

I would be borderline shocked if we got him.*****

DEXTER Lawrence. We already got him... ;~)***
