Pruitt's latest two follows on twitter are Solomon and Phillips. Uh oh, could it be happening???

. I’m confused.

Bruin Report Online reported there is a chance Phillips could return to football if he is eventually cleared to play, but in such a case he would be likely to transfer.

I think Pruitt found a loophole with this medical retirement imo. Kid retires UCLA gets scholarship back. Kid comes to UT takes physical gets cleared and can play immediately.

Pure speculation on my part.

Possible. I just read his announcement on twitter from when he said he was leaving. I think people are jumping to conclusions that he was retiring but what I read was his wording was all about setting the stage for his case of immediate eligibility elsewhere. Sounds to me he plans to use injuries/poor S&C mgmt along with not having his major as his case to NCAA. Kelly system is not friendly to defensive players health

Yeah if he can pull this guy in go a long way with building depth.

Highly doubtful

Didn't Andrew Butcher do something similar. He had a knee issue here seems like Tennessee wouldn't clear him to play. He then transferred to Kennesaw State and played last season... ( I think)

Butcher played last season at Kennesaw and made 1st all conference as a DE.

Can play immediately at fcs regardless, no loophole

 

[Devo182]

fwiw this kid is really banged up. Would be like getting Trey right now. Great upside, near 0% he plays. But would be minimal risk, wouldnt count toward a class if he doesnt medically clear

 

[lilesrt]

What did I miss? What’s the connection with him and Tennessee?

He also got wasted at the Hill and ended up walking on I40

Chris Donald also.

I think Pruitt was recruiting him at bama and has a good relationship with him.

It's what he does best.

Doubtful. Injuries and not super productive. 41 tackles, 4.5 sacks in two years. No reason to believe he would be the best on our team
