Here comes the exodus...

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

So you're saying they found a team willing to pay better? (Too soon?)

That’s probably right.

Gray leaving makes Chandlers transfer sting a little more

We are Ok on Rb depth.

 

[sccshortstop]

Well, he certainly packed a heckuva sack lunch with great treats in them.

I have traced back to the real problem! When phil interviewed pruitt he was told by pruitt that he was sabans bagman! Philip said hold on a minute and do not say any more! When can you start? Fulmer did not realize that meant pruitt picked up his groceries!!! lol!

 

[Border Vol]

Just saw where AP posted and said that hes heard that Eric Gray, Henry To'o To'o, Darnell Wright, and Quavaris Crouch have all expressed interest in entering the portal. Says they haven't entered yet, and may not, but regardless that is not a good sign of things to come...

Bye bye Tennessee football talent!





This Fall's football team could be very thin in numbers and bereft of talent.

Neither leaving stings me at all. Bring on Brown, Evans, Wright, Small and Beckwith!

Saw that happening with Pruitt staying. Much more optimistic working TOWARDS something.

 

[zydane47]

If they want to leave then who cares? This is why you pick a school and not a coach to commit to.

This Fall's team will be very hard to watch from the look of things.

I guess they took "if you can't win the right way, we don't want you here" to heart...

 

[davethevol]

I have a feeling that some of these guys considering transferring are going to be ineligible no matter where they go. Plowman hinted at players potentially having their eligibility ruined due to what happened, and I’m wondering if Henry T is one of them.

Or they know they wont be getting any McDonalds bags full of money to stay

So if this the Exodus, who is going to part the Crimson Sea and lead us into the promised land? I can see Freeze as a Moses figure.......

 

[jonnon111]

If we could all remember this in 3 years when some of you morons are calling for our new coach's head when he hasn't won a national Championship yet.

Or King David or Solomon in Hugh Freeze's case.

Ya, David got that fever for Bathsheba, word?

 

[They]

Dudes they won 3 games last year. I promise 2 things, and I’m flexing my insider status here.....

1.) there will be enough players to field a team next year.
2.) Tennessee will not be expected to win a national championship, no matter who is on the roster.

Just relax folks.

Amen! Delta is ready when they are. This program will never and can never return to being truly competitive on the legs of mere mercenaries. If uncommitted players choose to leave, so be it. They are entitled to seek happiness elsewhere. I'm happy here with the Vols who want to be Vols.

Tennessee's fans want to fill Neyland and TBA and the other venues to support players who's blood runs orange and who's hearts are here. I'm tired of watching the world cater to the whims and egos of alleged stars who don't play with pride and heart -- particularly when they don't play like the stars they profess to be. I'll save my loyalty and support for those who choose to be here with us. Good luck to the rest. I hope you find great success on the other side of the fence, but you all know how that grass can turn out.

Exodus is not coming, we are already in it and this is but the 7th plague. Perhaps the hail fire and brimstone from the sky - followed by the locusts (other programs) picking the carcass of whatever is left of our recruiting. The festering boils were the last few coaches. Its about to get Biblical, Im afraid.

Good thing I’m not a first born!

 

[VolWatchman]

Wouldn’t be shocked if Tyler Baron entered the portal either.

 

[sonofUT62]

Crouch will enter the Portal a step slower than the rest of them.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

LOL some of you can't make your mind up on whether we suck or whether players are so good they've got all these better options elsewhere.

It's a big deal for kids these age to pack up and move away from all their friends and what they're comfortable with to go in a situation where they may have to fight for a starting job. It's not like changing your underwear. Those of you that have attended college know that undergrad transfer can be a huge deal academically.

If I was playing for a bad team/program and felt that was holding me back the coach getting canned would give me reasons not to leave. Why would incoming coach at Tennessee be any bigger of a crapshoot than me flinging off to some other college to play for another coach that I've never played for before? This is not all bad, and Tennessee still has a ton of things to offer.

Some may leave, new coach will being in a few.

Well said. We now have a technology solutuion for that...

I bet Crouch goes and plays for the Tarholes.

What makes you say that?

"He said they may, haven't done it, but could... Haven't yet... But may... And I think that's just not a good sign..."

LMAO... Stop... Take some medication...
