Pig to miss spring practice

Parrt of the Butch process involves weeding out those players that are not fully committed to the sport. A lot left the first year but guys like Pig will pop up from time to time and will fall out. Talent doesn't make up for being a bonehead or not going to school. In the end, we will have other options that will make his loss become hardly noticeable.

Who knows what's going on, but he also posts stuff like this a lot on Instagram. I would sure love to see him back on the field. This is from today:

Do you think he does that because he misses it or because he still wants to be a part of this team? I hope he comes back.

#throwback morning sounds like he's committed it to the past to me. That's sad if that's really what has happened. He was fun to watch. Hope I am entirely wrong and he will be back soon

People used hashtags that are common and popular...dont look too deeply into that. His tweets using words, not hashtags, seem very determined to get back onto the football field.

Ok, found this.... I posted on 3/5 after hearing Ainge on TSR....

"Ainge just said Pig's situation is like Eric Gordon part two and that he does not expect pig to be back as a football player. That going forward now the slot position is all about Von Pearson"

That being said, still think I read Hubbs saying the same thing. I'll keep looking.

accurate...

its not weed, its not academics (although not sure he is keeping up now), its not team rules and it is a personal issue..

I know people would like to know the specifics but not something anyone would want discussed publicly if it was you.

Agreed, lets not discuss the details about what the issue is.

BUT, can you entertain us with a guess as to if or if not you expect him to return?

Looking less likely that he returns. RT @PatrickDye: @wesrucker247 any update on Pig Howard?

Thought that was interesting.

I don't want any young mans personal stuff let out but I am so confused. It seems to me that he wants to be back and he is still around the team. I hope they can figure out a way to bring him back. I wish him the nest either way. Hope he is ok.

Not looking good. Hubs wrote today

"Nothing new. He is finishing up the semester. He returned several days late from spring break and some weren't sure if he was going to return this semester, but he did.

I would be surprised if he returns to the team."

Time to move on, apparently. I hope the best for that young man and that he takes advantage of the wonderful opportunity of having an education at UT

Call me crazy but I read this as a positive. Nobody thought he was coming back and he did come back. He is on campus hopefully working towards getting back on the field. Don't give up pig we need you!

I see pig almost every day walking to and from class. He is definitely going to class. Also I go to the trec on campus every mon-thurs and pig is always there playing pick up basketball with students. And lemme just clarify this, he's in good shape. Can easily dunk too.
