Hate to lose a potentially good player, but if he doesn’t want to be here, let him out completely.

Disagree. You have to set some type of boundary. We lose a counter for kids signed to an NLI. We have to go through a waiver process to even get that counter back and it can be denied.

Kids should have penalties too especially ones that signed to go to a school and take it back before they ever make it to the school.

Kids have 4 years to play. Coaches can have a lifetime if they win.

Do right by the kids and let him play where he wants. He was very likely misled and signed under a completely different staff. He shouldn’t be forced to sit a year because coaches like to tell lies.

He is mad because he wants him to be able to go to Auburn and everyone knows it. All the schools do this not just TN

Not just that, we could of recruited someone else. There has to be a line drawn. You shouldn’t be able to freely move about before you ever make it to college ball without ever being at the school. You signed an NLI stating you were coming which takes an initial counter away from us and makes us stop recruiting your position.

Asking to have that NLI back hurts us because now what? We look for leftovers or the transfer portal? It’s just stupid that it’s viewed as petty on the school when the kid could easily of come here for a year “seen if he liked it” and then if he didn’t hit the portal.

Yes coaches do but the school loses the counter and we could of completely recruited someone else. A line has to be drawn.

Also he was a high 4 star. I doubt he would “sit a year”

I mean does it really matter if you burn a bunch of Pruitt loving bammer bridges? Pruitt focused hard on the place and didn’t even win a lot of those battles. He wasted time watching most of them go to Bama/Auburn. Your basically getting leftovers if guys they didn’t pursue hard or in case of Brooks you got lucky there was a local family tie. Other than that I doubt JH is too concerned with his Bama Hs relations taking sloppy thirds when he wants first dibs on TN in state kids.

Would’ve Heupel had to sit out a year had he left UCF for another AAC job? Does Rodney Garner have to sit out a year?

agreed. not exactly the same since these didn't involve NLI releases, but in terms of schools wanting to make things difficult for kids to leave in general, Georgia did this with Cade Mays. Michigan did it with Solomon. Georgia did have the issue with the running back that wanted out of his NLI last year, or year before, can't remember which....

Schools have been doing things to make transfers/releases hard forever.

it is not unique or new in any way, and definitely not a "Tennessee thing"....

Guess kids shouldn’t commit to a coach and then leave before they ever make it to the school. Pretty “petty” on the kid.

Right I can’t believe this 18 yr old kid didn’t look at the situation from the top down and weigh all possible outcomes vs expectations. At 18 he should clearly have developed the ability to understand complex situations and be 100% decisive with his decisions....especially as an 18 yr old....especially when making the biggest decision of his life thus far....

......or do we give the kid a break?
