UT shouldn't offer Sterling, however he can still help some in-state schools like Vandy or Middle. Jennnings from Vandy will be the feature back at Vandy giving Andre not only some East Tenn mentoring for a year, but a true opportunity to at least make up for local 5A backs who haven't produced lately on the D1 level (Shawn Bohanon). Burnette on the other hand will surprise some people down the road. Yes I am a homer on this one, but having D1 experience myself and knowing what it takes to compete, this kid has IT. He's not real mobile, but he's got a gun, never lost (WTH!!!), and GQ knows how to coach 'em up, TRUST ME... Name a coach in the last decade (98-08) who has produced more D1 prospects at quarterback (3) w/ combined state titles (8). The first was beaten out by a guy startin' in the 08 AFC championship game, the 2nd a refugee of Spurrier, and now the 3rd will get his shot in about 2-3 years and murder it... watch!!! Both of these guys will contribute, if not start down the road on the D1 level, but UT really doesn't need them now or later. If they stay in-state and star in the Mid State, you never know... they could both go in the draft like some others we missed out on and then what will UT/PF say???
