Michael Dyer - now Louisville bound (merged)

[allvol]

Programs that score below 925 (this is the Mendoza line ... if you can't hit this, you're just not trying) on their four-year rate and can lose up to 10 percent of their scholarships through immediate penalties. Programs that dip below 900 - there weren't any this year - face additional sanctions and can also face historically based penalties for poor academic performance over time.

If my math is correct, the next report for 2011-2012 will be issued in June 2013... requires the Vols to have an APR of 937 to result in a multi-year APR of 930. (if the desired multi-year is 925, only an annual APR of 917 is required).

If Dwyer gets his act together, there is enough margin in the APR for the Vols to take a risk on the two-time 1,000 yard rusher and BCS National Championship Game MVP. Its definitely an upgrade at the position and with a new QB starting this year would put less pressure on the QB. IMHO, I say go for it.

I think the apr is stupid in some aspects, you shouldn't be punished for having numerous kids that are good enough to leave early and go to the league

Especially in a instance like Q Watson. Him being homesick shouldn't play a role in how academically sound your program is.

Coaches feel good about RBs they have on board and just signed in Lee.

Chemistry is important to the coaches.

Dyer isn't a fit and won't be part of the Vols roster come Fall.

So, what you're saying....cryptically, is.....SOON!

 

[babyavi]

I would love to see dyer line up in Eugene .

 

[blued125]

Take......... Dude could run the rock. He has what, 1 more year. Worth the risk in my opinion. I don't really care if kid likes to smoke the joan. If he can run like when he won the NC MVP. Take

Do you all really think that nobody on the team is messing around. Don't be so blind, college kids will be college kids.

 

[orange parmejohn]

the staff whiffed on every great RB prospect they were after. it would be laughable to not give this kid a look.

 

[jbeard82]

How many years of eligibility does he have left?

 

[SWFLvol33]

He could be a First team SEC RB

So letting your teammates borrow your handgun to commit armed robbery, that's your idea of messing around?

Don't get me wrong though, I want him.

 

[BurninOrange]

How many years of eligibility does he have left?

He would have 2 yrs remaining

 

[overseasorange2]

He would have 2 yrs remaining

But he would only stay for 1.

Just keep a little information in mind when you are wanting to put thugs on campus, this does threaten the safety of the other students, like myself. I'm not saying this kid in particular is a thug or that people don't change, but there's been a correlation between the athletes and robberies in the past. Just something to consider when looking at a prospect

I seriously hope that you are kidding

Safety-wise, you are more likely to get drunk and fall out of your dorm room window than to be robbed by an athlete.

Stay far away from alcohol, young man.

Someone needs to stop poppin mollies before posting. I'm scared knowing you're in Knoxville.

You don't have to worry he won't rob you he'll just let the people that do borrow his gun

 

[Hayezb]

But he would only stay for 1.

Which is perfect imo.

Let him player for a year, show the RB recruits for next year that we are committed to the run game and they can succeed here.

 

[WiseOlVol]

I don't see the risk.
We have the schollys.
Room him with Tiny.
If Dyer doesn't fit it, you bounce him.
If he keeps to the program, he'll average 6 ypc behind a great Oline.
The kid's gotta know he has one shot to sign a 10mm contract. If he cares abt his mother, he should be ok.

With Dyer wearing Orange, the Oregon game will be the game of the week.

Step 1: step away from the video games and computers
Step 2: go outside and breath fresh air
Step 3: meet a women
Step 4: never post again
:hi:

Couldn't be any more of a train wreck than B. Brown . . . Well actually, yes he could. To even consider writing up a scholarship offer for Dyer, you have to be very, very clear in the language that he will be kept under a microscope on campus. And Im sure with the previous charges he is probably still on parole so that helps a bit, at least with regard to drug tests and such. Doesn't sound like an easy scholarship to sell, nor do I see any reason for even considering Dyer right now if you are Coach Jones. Yes, he has a ton of talent and we hope to see him use it rather than throw it away, but a new head coach plus a potential trainwreck situation in Dyer equals major momentum swing in the other direction. Negative press for UT when UT needs it the least! But then again, if he succeeds and does well, Coach Jones looks like the man and ends up with a top, all-SEC RB on his roster.

Either way, it's a pipe dream. But dream on . . . :bed_time:
