'21 JUCO RB Tiyon Evans

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Yea, that really sucks for us.

Edit: Must be making room for Z. Evans lol.

Right on , Z Evans will hit the transfer portal and be granted immediate eligibility. GBO!

I wish we had given someone else a nudge, not Evans.

I think based on what we're hearing from our end, we didn't give him the nudge.

Got a good chuckle out of this quote

“A lot of people are thinking I’ve been talking to South Carolina,” Evans said. “I ain’t been talking to no other schools. Of course, that’s what everybody’s going to think, because I’m looking at my (Twitter) timeline. I see all that right now, talking about South Carolina. I’m never going to South Carolina. I’m never going to go there. That’s dead.

He's a south Carolina native and was a vols vs south Carolina battle to begin with. Family probably got to him and convinced him to stay home. Jmo

He said he HAD to get out of South Carolina, not a good place for him. Guess that's changed..

Interesting...

Not a big loss.

I think it’s a big loss. Not that we don’t already have talent and some incoming talent and he could be replaced in this class, but I really think this kid is a heck of a recruit and I’m disappointed. Hopefully, he will still come back to us.

Maybe not. Really depends on how the coaches value different players. Fans have their opinions and coaches have theirs. But fans don't get paid big money to make hard recruiting choices, coaches do.

That's definitely some Dalai Lama sh!t right there.......

 

[johnfnkelly]

I haven’t been talking to nobody. I had closed my recruitment completely. I’m opening my recruitment to see what I can get, and if I can get something that’s better than Tennessee. It’s not a lot that’s better than Tennessee, but it’s stuff that sets them (apart). That’s what I’m trying to dig deep into and see

really hope we cut all contact with this kid.

Why?

 

[escapegoat2]

One of my favorites! Hate to see he left.

 

[miket4god]

Wow this class is falling apart

Surprised you don't have any likes for this post.

In that it sounds like we cut ties with him. Shut down, not many places better than Tennessee. Seems really strange right now on what Pruitt's planning

My guess he's more impressed with this '20 crop than he thought he'd be.

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

I don't think we cut ties. I think he talked to his family and realized that he made a commitment before ever even visiting, which could have been a mistake. I think he'll take visits and weigh his options and could end up right back with UT.

Ryan Callahan today said it was totally on Evans probably wanting to step back. He said he didn't get the impression UT was out of the discussion.

He about to step right out of a spot. We ain't playing baby games this year. Don't see Clemson taking a JUCO either.

For sure!...no spot is safe under Pruitt. You either want to be here or you don’t either Way is “Aight” with Pruitt.

Clemson doesn’t recruit JUCO’s.

 

[Orange Studs]

I hope we end up with Evans but this staff already has the next man on the list if needed. In CP I trust!

“I’m basically starting from scratch,” said Evans, a 5-10, 200-pounder rated the No. 1 running back in junior college. “I still have Tennessee as an option, but if things go wrong and the scholarship for me ends up going somewhere else ... at the end of the day I am taking the time to see what my possibilities are.

Perhaps the staff didn’t necessarily give him a git, but it sure sounds like they had a “we really like you but numbers are tight and we still have some needs” talk.

Not imo, sounds like Evans listened to his mom and decided to look around/decommit and UT said, well, if u do that, we may not have a place for u, if decide to recommit in 2 months
