Edwin Herbert (opened things up)

[General Jack]

I'm not going to lie, this one hurts. One of a top 3 glaring needs is DT, and being a JUCO, this guy could have conceivably contributed right away. What's worse than losing him is that we lost him to the gators.

I really hope big Dan stays.

If you knew that, then why did you use the opposite as an argument? He either honors the commitments or not. He did, they chose to back out.

If you were in the Senate I bet you would have been 'for it before you were against it'.

Arguments do not go this way:
Person 1: "I think point A"
Person 2: "I think point B"
Person 1: "I KNOW it's point B. I've known it all along. GAH! Why are you bringing this up!"

No one is going to come where they are not wanted. The expectation was never for either Boyd or Petty to come to UT regardless of the fact that they were not wanted. There is no other way to put it other than their commitments weren't honored. They committed and were told they weren't wanted. That is as close as you can get to not honoring a commitment. It's not like I said their offer was pulled, I just said their commitments weren't honored. Geez. Why are you all pointing to things that can be interpreted differently versus actually addressing the concerns that were voiced? You're wasting your time clarifying information that is common knowledge.

Probably... and why not?

Because that would be stupid. That would be akin to Meyer pulling Chris Leak's scholly and starting Tebow his freshman year just because he "fit his system."

I guess it's because words have definitions, not loosey goosey meanings that can be anything you want them to. Honoring a commitment means just that. Telling them he didn't see where they fit in isn't akin to not honoring a commitment. It's telling them the truth.

I agree, he probably already knew Monte was coming. If he had mild interest he would have visited K-Town this weekend.

I guess he doesn't have the guts to experience a taste of playing in a NFL defense.

 

[Sewaneetigers]

Stupid stupid stupid. Did he want to play? Did he see Florida's depth chart?
Play at Tennessee or not play at Florida...hmm tough decision
