Tyler Baron to Louisville?

[VOLociraptorr]

Apparently Ole Miss doesn't have bottomless pockets

 

[Orange defense]

Uh oh! What is going on with this guy?

 

[volroadwarrior]

He and Lame Kitten didn't mesh!!! Brahahahah

 

[MEDVOL]

Will be unfortunate when he has to take a pay cut come draft day.

 

[VolBallGuy]

Mercenary. Not the best way to make friends.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Could he just play another year at UT.

 

[pimo1]

checks bounced?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Cue Steve Miller:
Go on, take the money and run.....

 

[Orange931]

Apparently he didn’t want to

What’s the link between Ole Miss and Louisville? First McDonald and now Baron. I assume they were recruited over.

 

[tennrich1]

I have no idea why or even IF this happened BUT Ole Miss had so many transfers that were needing paid…the money (especially if you’re Ole Miss) probably ran out. Now that is CLEARLY a guess…and probably a highly uneducated one to boot. Louisville definitely could use some help.

 

[vol94fan]

Do what? You not coming now?

 

[DiderotsGhost]

So why are all our of portal guys going to Ole Miss and then flipping to Louisville? Just seems weird.

 

[VOLociraptorr]

He seems better than Louisville to me.

 

[KTrain]

I really don't get it a local guy could have had all kinds of great Knoxville/Tennessee connections and you go to another City you're last year. Louisville will be like me on 1-year players we hardly knew you I think leaving a program can burn some valuable bridges because I just don't think he's an NFLer and not sure of his major but never helps to burn those bridges.

 

[thunder5]

I wish him nothing but mediocrity at best

Yeah, didn't McDonald leave Ole Miss

IIRC didn’t TB threat this last year? Not sure why one would do that either. From my vantage point it appears extremely unwise at best.

 

[TAF]

Have fun playing Division II Ball Tyler

 

[IndianapolisVol]

I bet he wishes he stayed. Even if he won’t admit it. From the SEC to….Louisville. Wow.

 

[Just a VolinTears]

He's a mess. It may be less about money and more about the fact that he's not that good

I feel bad if we forced him out… we have better athletes behind him…

I would say you are right, but they were doing this fancy talk to these young impressionable guys and talking fast and throwing numbers at them and pushing papers up for them to sign. Then when the dust settled and they got somebody smart to look at what they signed, they realized they had been Kiffened. The rubber just never hit the road.

 

[ACvol3]

Pretty clear we didn’t want him. No hard feelings
