When exactly will you be ready? Do you have real information or is it just your conspiracy theory that because we are not landing who you think we should, then there be something shady going on.

Relax. I’m referencing the other discussion where fraud was mentioned. I didn’t start it nor do I have reason to believe yet.

I don’t think we’re doing a good job in the portal though.

AP on Baron:

He wants to finish elsewhere for a certain NIL number. Can’t fault him for shooting his shot. Tennessee wasn’t willing to go there. One team he is rumored for is Bama and imo they won’t do anymore than TN would but he would rather go play there if it happens to get the Bama rub for the draft. We will see if Bama is indeed the play. Have heard Vandy and Louisville have also made a push for him.

This is something man, there is no loyalty anymore.

Tough spot for Heupel, but you have to let him go. Baron finally had a good season where he didn't have injury issues. Spyre dedicating a big NIL payment to him would be risky, especially since we probably would lose a guy like Tyre West...who I think could be more productive than Baron as a starter. Looks like the staff is ready for a lot of these older guys to move on and like what they have in the guys behind them.

I think the issue with spyre isn't just Seaton. It's the cumulative loses.

I don't think spyre or coaches had anything to do with Seaton. Seaton is just a dumb kid with suspect people around him that aren't smart enough to see through a low IQ pitch of skin color being a qualifier for anything. Can't fix stupid sometimes.

Perhaps they are handcuffed by mediocre recruiting. Can you imagine Tim Banks trying to convince you to attend anything? 😴😴😴

Coach eck and rg are probably the only ones with the ability to stick out.

Agree we have to upgrade at DB. Badly. Now depth is a huge issue imo.

Baron and Echols can leave. That's fine. This NIL ish sucks.

I don’t think Spyre is handcuffing our recruiting, but it’s hard to know without being in the room, so to speak. I guess people want to blame them because, otherwise, it must be the staff?

We definitely need to upgrade, and depth could be an issue. There’s a way to fix that, but they’ve got to push to get difference makers, and I don’t see it so far. Maybe they’re just waiting on spots to open, but I say get who you want and then make the numbers work.

I didn’t want to lose Baron, but the writing has been on the wall there.

If Baron hadn’t ALREADY done this I’d probably have less annoyance.

But personally we’ve seen what he can do, 4th year and RG has maximized his potential already and he’s not even the best DL or Edge guy we have.

Best of luck, get one more big payday cause he’ll probably be a practice squad guy in the league.

This kid played pretty well but he had a lot of not smart plays also costing the team as well. Plus, took a lot of plays off, out or nicked up. He probably should have been tossed in the Vandy game.

The spyre answer is always 'give more.'

Which my reply is, market more. Stop trying to squeeze juice from a turnip

Eh just bc Baron is leaving?

There’s not that many leaving from good programs that the staffs actually want to keep.

I’d say there’s tons of loyalty bc look how many are staying.

He's a 4 year guy, TN kid. If he jumps to get a rub for the draft thats pretty weak minded. If youre good they will find you.

Pearce who he plays beside is being projected as top 10 pick, and still has a year to play. If you can’t improve your draft stock beside him then you’re not going to.
