- He's 100% done. Committed to Tennessee, coming to Tennessee. Not taking any more visits.
- Planning to enroll June 1.
- Really happy to be back in the SEC. Happy for his time at Louisville but said it was time for a change, and he said no one could offer a better combination of big program, good team, great stadium, huge fan base, SEC exposure and CB need than Tennessee. Said Vols had it all, and he liked them as a HS prospect, too, so it's a great situation for him and one he's really excited about.
- Said he can't control what people think about Tennessee being his third program, but that things happen for a reason, and that he's never been in trouble, never been late or missed anything, never failed a drug test, never had a problem with grades, has his college degree, etc., and that at the end of the day he's comfortable with the people who really know him knowing him and know what he's about.
- Said it's "crazy" to think about coming back to Neyland after coming up there with the Dawgs and playing a great, hard-fought OT game, but that he's always really liked Neyland and is excited to start calling it home.

You have to like the potential of our secondary if both of those guys can play like lockdown NFL CBs.

They have they potential but can it all come together?

Sounds like Martin has everything he needs but just needs to stay level headed and hungry. I don't think he'll have that issue this year and am hoping for big things from him .

For Martin, this is the equivalent of a contract year in the NFL. Have a great year and you could be looking at big money. Crap the bed again and you could be looking at unemployment. I'm thinking he finally rises to the occasion.

Exactly. Have a good, hopefully great year and get that stock up. He has all the measurables and the talent to put up good combine #'s which could really put him in a good place come draft time.

Not saying it won't happen, or that he can't improve with a new and improved secondary coach, but I'm tired of the empty promise of Justin Martin. I'll believe it when I see it.

Negative, I guess getting arrested is never getting in trouble? :shrug: I guess it's too bad it is easy to google Shaq Wiggins arrested??? But, like I said, it wasn't a big deal IMO.

As far as attitude to which I alluded, he said himself that he needed to find a place that could accept his personality, but it wasn't just Ga that apparently had a problem with the attitude. Petrino threw him out of practice because of his attitude.

"Bobby Petrino throws Shaq Wiggins out of Louisville practice

March 26, 2015

Shaq Wiggins left UGA less than a year ago seeking a program that would “embrace my personality.”


He signed with Louisville and sat out last year after the transfer.

Bobby Petrino didn’t want anything to do with Wiggins’ personality at practice on Wednesday.

The Louisville Courier-Journal doesn’t have much more information on the situation because Petrino didn’t talk to the media after practice.

An angry Petrino sent Georgia transfer Shaq Wiggins, a junior listed atop the Cardinals’ depth chart at left cornerback, to the locker room for the day about an hour and a half into the drills."

But, I also said good pickup, brings experience and does a good job of jumping routes, that sometimes gets him burned. I love feisty "small guys" who give it their all.

He's a grad transfer. All we need is for him to stay focused for one season. Very little downside with very big potential upside for us given our current DB sitution

...and

It was more than a speeding ticket. He was driving on a suspended license, still no biggy. "The arresting officer's routine check on Wiggins' license found that he had failed to appear in court on an earlier charge, resulting in the license being suspended."

But, don't let those facts interfere with Shaq's tall tales

Hey, at least he didn't do something stupid like getting drunk and high and driving a vehicle into the middle of an intersection then passing out in the middle of it. Suspended for 2 quarter.

But don't let the facts interfere with Kirby's exempt tales.

So Petrino is considered as a judge of proper behavior? Makes sense.

No, I don't see why anyone parent would send their kid to him but that is just me. I was just saying it wasn't only one place that dealt with his attitude. CB is kinda like WR tho, certain attitudes are needed. Would you trust Petrino to have your child's best interest at heart? BP showed he hasn't changed by first trying to block SW from transferring to certain schools. I like seeing kids with second chances make the most of them, most kids make some type of mistake, part of growing up.

We beat UGA without him last year so he's just icing on the top.
