I would welcome him in a heartbeat but there is no way Freeze would be the OC for UT. I dont think Fulmer would allow it.
It was stated earlier in this thread, or maybe it was another one, that he had 4 to play 3. Maybe that poster was wrong, but I didn't see anyone immediately disagree with him.
Thanks for the explanation and clearing it up...as snarky and condescending as possible.Well I disagree with him, based on NCAA rules and the fact he’s already burned 2 years of eligibility.

In 2018, Payton currently has 21 receptions in 8 games for 312 yards. That means he’s burned a second year of college eligibility. Source: NJCAA
Unless the person who stated earlier that Payton has 4 to play 3 can explain how that’s possible after burning 2 years of eligibility, which Payton clearly has done, then it’s pretty clear Payton only has 3 to play 2.

And he might not have meant it that way. It just came across as though he needed to break my post down bit by bit, even detailing the rule and JP's stats to prove his point. He could have just as easily stated simply that JP had already played in both years at JUCO, so he only had 3 to play 2. I may have read some unintended tone behind his words but it seemed sarcastic because of the above reasons. Tone is difficult to interpret in text.I didn't take it that way at all.

--VQEveryone saw what speed at the WR position can do to defenses in the loss to Alabama, and the 6-foot-2, 180-pound wideout is the type of burner this staff is looking for. Payton clocked multiple 4.4 times this summer. He has a comfortability with Tennessee too, even saying, “I’ve been up there so much, it just fits me.” Mississippi State, UF and others remain factors for the JUCO prospect, but Tennessee made a huge move this weekend. Payton will take an official visit here sometime over the next sit weeks and will sign with a school in December.
Your last sentence is probably accurate. Like I said, I likely read tone that wasn't intended. To me, the drawn out explanation just seemed like intentional overkill designed to make his point. And I realize he didn't disagree with anything I said, just the inaccuracy of the info I relayed. No big deal in the end.My read:
He didn't disagree with what you said, which was that someone posted the info, and you didn't see anyone disagree.
He just addressed what you said you had read. The way he did it fits naturally with a lot of academic disciplines, and career fields -- make your statement, then cite your data and sources.
I read it as strictly objective -- not going out of the way to be friendly, but not hostile or snarky. FWIW.
