[sickemsmokey10]

dunno if this has been posted yet, but I just saw it on ut's website. Violation of team rules....anybody want to take a guess?

just found it he got busted for some sort of drug....most likely 'roids.

Dang....ANOTHER one bites the dust!

A 22 person class has now dwindled to 15 with G. Williams status still of course up in the air.

 

[mmm71690]

i remember hearing that he was trouble

 

[85Destiny]

Does anyone know what he did?

 

[tidwell]

Oye ...

 

[Volstorm]

Probably chose Coke over Pepsi.

Doesn't Coke sponsor us???:blink:

 

[checkerboard_charly]

He tried to borrow Onterrio's Whizzanator.

 

[sickemsmokey10]

He probably got caught with fake money....AGAIN!

 

[surrealvol]

Was he from Morristown?

 

[sickemsmokey10]

Was he from Morristown?

Yeah, my hometown. I played with him in little league baseball and went to high school with him

Violation of team rules, that normally means what? Skips practice, gets in fights, fights with the staff, what?

 

[tidwell]

sleeping with high school principal, joy rides down sidewalks, etc.

 

[Volstorm]

Possibly another D. Goodrich Rocky Top Market Chicken Wing incident?

That's generally coachspeak for "We don't want to embarass the kid, let's move on.'

They should have been as tactful with the Raymond Henderson "situation".

 

[sickemsmokey10]

I know he got caught with counterfeit money while he was in high school:mega_shok:

wow, that is the dumbest thing i've ever heard

 

[phatphil]

Who cares? It's not like this guy was ever going to see the field anyways. I played against tougher linemen against dang Single-A Cloudland than this kid. He wasn't worth a scholarship. Just a local charity case. Adios. Good Riddence. See you at Tusculum!

 

[Vol67]

violation of substance abuse policy

 

[utvolpj]

violation of substance abuse policy

That would be my guess as well.

will anyone out of this class contribute? Can we really afford to just skip a year in recruiting? because thats basically what we've done.

then stephens, fisher, quinton hancock, dorian davis, brent vinson(next year), should all contribute and probably a few others.
