Just wanted to comment on CD. I dont know where people get the rumor that he is leaving UT. CD has been working hard to improve on every level! He truly loves UT and has always loved UT growing up as a child. All i hear on here is how CD is a bust! CD is a red shirt soph with 3 more years left at UT. I understand he was higly rated coming out of high school. I also understand that he did not progress as fast as some of you would like. I dont understand how he can be labeled a bust and his career is not even done yet at UT. I hear people saying that CD is not a team player and yada yada! CD is my nephew and its obvious that none of you know him personally, or there would not be so many negative comments about him.
CD is a great kid with a good head on his shoulders and always puts GOD first and foremost in his life. CD has been busting his ass everyday and working harder than ever before. He knows thats it going to take alot of hard work to be an elite player in the SEC. CD comes from a great back ground and family. His mother was an All -American college basketball player and is now a school teacher. She played for Union University and her team actually beat UT, with her last sec shot pat summits first year as coach for UT. His dad (my brother) is a great man and helps keep CD positive and drives him in the right direction. He has an uncle that played minor league ball and i was very athletic and excelled in 3 sports in high school also. He has another uncle that played for UT in the early 90's that played with george teage in high school and at UT.
CD is the kind of student athlete that UT and fans should want and be proud of to represent the university of tennessee.
IMO, CD`s hard work and patience is going to pay off and he will be rewarded for it. Of course he would like to be a starting LB for UT(im sure every player would like to be a starter). He has never been negative and his demeanor is always positive. He knows that nothing is going to be handed to him and that he just has to keep working hard and improving in every phase of the game. Everyone is different, Just let this kid enjoy his college experience. In due time, i think sooner rather than later things will come together for CD and he will make an huge impact for UT. That is his goal and he just wants to help the team in anyway he can. He`s my family and i will always back him 100%. I understand that this is a message board and everyone has different oppinions and what not. All im saying that if most of you are TRUE UT fans as you say you are, that you should respect his work ethic and back him also. IMO, this is a great experince for CD to have to work hard and earn his spot. Growing up as a kid he was a beast in all 3 sports and was easily always the best player on the team. He won state championships in all 3 sports. This is all a great learning experince for CD and when his time comes, its going to make him a better person in life and better player on the field. He will appreciate everything more and the hard work and struggle will make it all worth it.
I am a hard core UT fan as much as anybody! Nobody wants to see him have a good career more than me and family! I would love to see him starting one day and making an impact for UT. I know what hes capable of and i believe his time is coming sooner rather than later. I txt him today and told Him to ignore all the negativity and just keep working hard and stay positive. He replied with- " Yes sir, you know that imma keep working hard."
For all you doubters- CD will never ever QUIT. For all the believers, just know that His time is coming! Be patient and get your popkone ready!!
