'18 TN ATH Joseph Norwood

[JacketVol]

George is a CB instead of Saftey and doesnt have a cloud hanging over his head from the incident(whether it's true or not true)

True on all points.

 

[LaagerVol]

He was encouraged to go. Best all around that he found a spot at a school he likes.

I believe in second chances but I was very uncomfortable with his possible involvement in the Ooltewah stuff. This is probably best for all.

 

[GetEmVols]

We decided not to take this kid. This means Pruitt feels better about our DB situation than when he first arrived.

 

[BruinVol]

OR...we got a JUCO cornerback who took his spot so he was moved back to a grayshirt. He just took a better offer (for him).

And if that happened that would be much worse than anything Butch did with culling players.

I don't think it did

Yes.
You are correct.

 

[Coach Punk]

I don't think it did

Told the kid from the start he was a blueshirt. He just went with MTSU after he saw the JUCO kid brought in. Blueshirt turned into gitshirt. Only instead of Butch having a player run him off after he enrolled, he was told this could all happen beforehand. Typical Saban-like business is business.

And I don’t think Pruitt is happy about his DBs at all.

Way to build that wall Pruitt

Just get the best kids. Some of you people are so obsessed with this wall around TN. Sheesh.

OK.....but if some of the best kids are from the state of TN, don't let them leave. 2 of the best have already committed to GA and LSU. That is a problem!

Has been for yrs.

Newt only focuses on the TN kids. There is lots of talent out there. He drives me bonkers with his TN obsession.

He would rather have walk-ons from Tennessee than great players from out of state. Kooky.

 

[butchna]

Perhaps he took his blue shirt spot in the 19 class since it counts against next year’s numbers. So, he took his spot for 19. They didn’t want Norwood and George and obviously preferred George whatever the reason might be.

Davis still has a spot if he doesn’t go MLB and now I’m hearing on VQ that the Stanford CB graduate transfer is still in play. I don’t think this was because of numbers.

Newt is the worst with that fixation. :no:

Yeah. He's a bit of a weirdo.

It's really frustrating.

Reverse reverse psychology?

 

[Glitch]

Reverse reverse psychology?

Oh. Hey Newt.

 

[LA Vol]

They're still looking at transfers and don't appear worried about numbers. They backed off Norwood and it worked out for all.

gotcha! Not aware of Newt's background.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Processed?

Can’t say for sure. I’ve heard some rumblings about a possible admissions issue, but no confirmation on that right now, and Norwood hasn’t commented to this point.

Yeah. One thing that grinds Newt's gears is losing any recruit out of TN. No matter the talent level.

I highly doubt he is happy with his DBs. Safeties probably but the CBs he probably doesn't sleep well at night thinking about

Every time we offer someone people say its because Pruitt is unhappy about that position. So following that commonly stated logic him turning this guy away means he's happy about the db's right?

That was brought up by more than a couple of people after signing day. And according to some this had been vetted before his(Norwood) announcement. The grade issue was seperate of the newspaper article.

I don’t think it’s just numbers either but they would’ve kept him if they had not got some of these others interested afterwards.

They're both from Memphis. Just sayin'.

Also, not a problem.
