'18 TN OL Tanner Antonutti (UT signee)

[RikidyBones]

Calls for Pulling scholly is just emotional overreacting. It's pretty simple. Get him on campus let the team handle him internally and make him work twice as hard to earn back respect

i can agree with this.

University offers you a free education. You publicly say f that university. University removes scholarship. Sounds very fitting to me

When did he make this firey speech bashing the university and the state? Why would he be all UT and then once he signs all of the sudden hate TN with a fire that burns deep in his soul?

Tanner:

1. Pretend to love UT. ✔
2. Sign NLOI locking me into the university that I despise. ✔
3. Sing Alabama song with lyrics that degrade to university I just signed with and have it posted on the interwebs for all to see. ✔
4. Sit back and watch the melt down. ✔

Oh, he is evil!

 

[DaddyChad]

He's a dumb kid but if he's already taken a spot, you get him on campus and see if you can straighten him out. Honestly I think it's just an idiotic mistake on his part. That said the deck is stacked against you to be a meaningful contributor in the sec anyways then you want to put yourself in the dawghouse (minor pun intended) before stepping on campus?

 

[RikidyBones]

You’re that one perfect guy! Read about you but thought you were a myth! That’s ok. The guy right next to you in the stoning line ****** up enough for the both of you...and some stragglers. Kid learned don’t do anything ever again because mouth breathers got them some internetz.

Never said I was perfect but I surely didn't make a similar mistake as Tanner. But go ahead and keep hyperbole and ad hominem in the discussion to fog your nonsensical argument.

He not evil, he's just a dipsh!t

Not sure anyone has actually confirmed that, but I think it is telling he went 'dark' shortly after the video surfaced..

Cade is such a "wonderful" friend. I am thinking we may have dodged a bullet here.. There doesn't seem to be much loyalty at all in him.

I will say it again, I don't care about what a kid in high school sings --it's a Bama song, BTW. Does Tanner really have a grudge against Auburn and LSU who we seldom play?

The thing that I was interested in was that some "insiders" were saying Cade was such a heavenly individual that Jeremy PRuitt's cussing upset him and he could never attend Tennessee. That was obviously BS, just as the next statement that one of the top recruiters in the country doesn't know how to conduct himself with kids and their parents.

Our concern is our coach's behavior, which was obviously not in question. Tanner's bad judgement will either be his undoing, or he will learn from it.

Hopefully coach puts him in a locked room with Nigel Warrior for a few minutes.

That would be fitting

Go tell him that to his face. Let me know how it works out for you. I'll be here. You know... waiting.

 

[hep]

I’d personally let it slide. When he transfers in a few years we can tell him how we really feel.

Did he or did he not publicly say "f Tennessee"?

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

If our squad is that meatheaded, they need to be chucked...yes, even Bain.

Have you played college level sports or higher on a very competitive team before?

 

[therickbol]

Hopefully coach sits down and speaks to him about the incident. Finds out the context. And then addresses it in an appropriate manner that does not include pandering to any idiot mob mentality. Again I repeat, some posters on here are simply embarrassing.

 

[Glitch]

Did he or did he not publicly say "f Tennessee"?

It appears he did it privately and somebody threw it into public.

 

[butchna]

I have no problem with that. If you're with a program, be all in or get out. Pruitt was all in with the teams he was with at that time, now he's all in here. Sounds like Tanner isn't all in. Dismiss him.

You’re not getting it. Dismissed BY a coach who’s sung the same song since he was the same age? And he’s coached kids who’ve actually messed up. He’s got too much perspective and real life cognizance. Not happening.

 

[butchna]

Like Ron White?

 

[butchna]

Sure. How can you prove otherwise? :lol:

Let’s be real. That idiot mob mentality goes both ways and people are entitled to their opinion. Coaches and players will handle this. As a man, he better be ready to face what’s about to happen to him.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Sure. How can you prove otherwise? :lol:

Your team must’ve sucked.

 

[butchna]

YOU didn’t make a mistake. Lots of US did. Real life is real.

 

[butchna]

Your team must’ve sucked.

That your professional opinion? :lol:

He sung the song when he was with Bama. He's not now. Either you're with us, or you're not. I'd tell him to get out.

 

[Vol8188]

So he just thought it was being recorded to preserve the moment?

Anytime someone is recording, you know they're going to post it.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

That your professional opinion? :lol:

Nothing professional about a college or pro locker room when the media is out. Usually a fun place but can get scary with situations like this.

Feel bad for Tanner. If he faces the “meatheads” straight on like a man, he has a chance to take his lumps and earn their respect. I’ve been there. Got out of line with the wrong guy and thought I was hot crap. Got jumped in locker room by 6 guys. Coaches didn’t break it up immediately but stepped in before I got hurt bad. Afterward, I was spoken to by the guy I disrespected. He took me in front of the team and I apologized. The same meatheads that beat me down picked me back up.

I learned a lot that day. Humbled.

 

[SergeantVol]

YOU didn’t make a mistake. Lots of US did. Real life is real.

So when you make mistakes as a kid, you should expect to never suffer any consequences from your actions? All should be forgiven if you do or say something stupid?
