He wound up there because he didn't feel like he got a chance to compete at FSU.
My thinking is two fold:
1) If you're really that good, you're going to play. He didn't play. No coach risks their rep and job enough that they would have an incredible player and not play them. He probably was a bust.
2) Should have picked us the first time sucka. If you ain't a Vol, you ain't nobody!
