Link? Or is this a guess by you?

He got it from a Twitter post by Richard G west, which of course is BS, so no news on this

I don’t know it’s worth quite a laugh when he gets an official ESPN or SEC account.

Why I generally avoid major market media. Would only deepen my isolation from actual relevent news.

24-3 FLORIDA shellacking LSU. Why wouldn’t Burns want to go be a part of that?!

Stahp!

Sounds like he is going to TCU.

Chase Burns is staying!

Burns Texas Two-Stepping in Fort Worth

 

[Vol_sanity]

I’m seeing that he will most likely not play in the SEC…that sounds like TCU

I just don't see the I love you if you play on my team or I hate you if you play on the other team mindset when you really don't know the kids.

I hear what you’re saying (in the whole post from which I excerpted the above) and agree obviously that there are going to be good kids on every team, etc. And it’s great that Kirby has good relationships with guys on other teams — that’s a cool thing about sports, for sure.

But I’m just a Vol fan — and to your point, I don’t know Chase Burns at all, so I don’t know why Chase Burns should feel entitled to my approval or support — or why he should particularly care. I’m sure there are lots of good guys that have played for Bama and Florida over the years (), but I’m not in the habit of rooting for them to have success. It’s not personal — it’s just that I’m a Vol fan.

(Sorry for picking on Chase Burns here — it’s not really about him… just responded to the comment quoted above with my perspective.)

Where you “seeing” that

Saw that. Kind of feels like out of left field but it's a great program and maybe they have some connections there.

We recruited Mookie Betts, he quite literally waited until the last hour to decide if he was going to school or taking the money. You can imagine the 24 hours before the decision on here. They just did a segment on him which is why I recalled it on ESPN. Couldn’t be happier for him, he made the right decision but it flat out sucked at the time.

 

[beefvol44]

Hope we pull a baddy to replace him lol

Makes me appreciate dudes like Dickey and Beam more.

Twitter, a guy that follows the team with media credentials. Who you hearing he is staying from?

Ben McKee has said it’s rumors plus I noticed a tweet from Houston Kress mentioning that Burns has received several offers but UT is matching them.

So. The recruitnik rumor mongers are in the house. Amirite?

 

[TechnoVol]

Houston Kress saw Richard G. West's troll tweet.

Those guys on for a while, may recall before the 2022 season, we were in hysterics as the Vols expected starting rotation was decimated by injury prior to the season even starting.

To say everything turned out well would be an understatement.

Trust the process.
