Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[BruinVol]

You would think the AD would atleast make a statement publicly that they’re keeping Pruitt so it helps players that are thinking about transferring make their decision right?

He’s not going to do that until the investigation is complete. It’s not over yet

Kentucky is not good at basketball

Pruitt is staying regardless of what comes out. He would've been let go by now if it was happening.

This is only going to be good for the top 6 or 7 teams needing good players at certain positions. They should have kept the rule where it was one year for everyone. Now we're going to have Wanyas all over Twitter trying to get fans all excited.

Yup.

And they say it is for the interest of the players...well the whole point of the 1 year residency rule was to help student-athletes in the classroom (transfers notoriously struggle in school). So much for that. If a kid has a sick family member, fine. But now kids will just be transferring like NBA players do to win titles or because they're benched.

They also argue "coaches can leave at any time, why shouldn't players be able to?". Well coaches are penalized by owing some buyout amount if they break contract early. Why should a university have to guarantee a multi-year scholarship (P5) and yet the players can leave after 1 year free and clear?

Roster management could become nearly impossible and the game will suffer. Jmo but I think it will be a mess.

So we've heard nothing from AtlantaVOL since tuesday or MetalVolunteer since last Friday.... are we waiting for enrollees then making a change guys? Or riding Gumps shrimpboat til it crashes into the dock?

If it hasn’t crashed into the dock by now it never will

Will still find a way to split with Tennessee IMO

 

[Dudleys87]

Fulmer will play his cards on that Paint ball game and things will start to go away just watch. Smh.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Worry about the ones ya win, not the ones you don’t win.

(vomit)

Hated that line when he first said. Everybody ate it up and I said that was a line to hang yourself with when failure comes

 

[rekinhavoc]

Yes. Put in simple terms: it’s going to come down to whether or not Glazier recommends Pruitt also take the fall in order to protect the university.

We know Neidermeyer is falling on the sword to a degree.

He ain't just falling on it...

If they have the desire to fire Pruitt they can. Will they? If they hit on a big name he is toast. If not he will be back.

 

[drvenner]

I am sure the law firm is not going to drag this out any longer than possible. I mean, they are only making $500 per lawyer per hour. No reason at all for them to take their sweet time.

 

[90 Vol]

A buddy of mine is a big Eagles fan asking me if UT had any prospects in this draft. I tried to go to youtube to show him Trey Smith highlights. Couldn't find anything. We need to get to work, gents

Haven’t you heard? We’re closing the gap.

 

[BruinVol]

Pruitt is staying regardless of what comes out. He would've been let go by now if it was happening.

I was 60/40 he was gone before the California trip and I think it’s 50/50 now.

 

[Paper_Towel]

Pruitt is out in the next 48 hours imo.

 

[reVOLution33]

A better QB and the ability to open things up will make a difference-- how much, TBD. This endless controversy and hatred originated with Pruitt's blind allegiance to JG and snowballed with the losing. Factor in the investigation and fans clamoring for Freeze, and it became an avalanche.

JG giftwrapping the game to UK and Pruitt's tone deafness tipped the scale.

So basically as we already knew....

He should have been fired based on performance without the investigation!

 

[Dudleys87]

Yes. Put in simple terms: it’s going to come down to whether or not Glazier recommends Pruitt also take the fall in order to protect the university.

We know Neidermeyer is falling on the sword to a degree.

Neidermeyer did it then Pruitt knew about it because I’d bet almost anything he put Neids up to it.

If one goes they both go. If only Neids goes he should stand out on the side walk in front of Neyland and tell all.

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

andy going to pay for calling the game after our guys had already made the trip to nashville. Calling it now, it’s going to be ugly at The Thom !!!

 

[HankHill]

Right. It’s like people were expecting Pruitt to be fired right after his formal interview... that was never going to happen. All the findings, testimonies, etc have to be compiled together in ways to Present to UT, from there compliance/Admin will decide how severe the findings are and what the best course of action is before submitting them to SEC/NCAA. Then whatever action we decide to carry out whether that be totally cleaning house, firing assistants, or whatever it may be..... hopefully SEC/NCAA determines the punishment fits the crime or only a little further punishment will be needed.

UT cannot stop Pruitt from carrying out daily activities aka doing his job or he would have grounds for a wrongful termination defense. That’s why , imo, nothing that UT, Pruitt, assistants etc do in the mean time actually means anything.

 

[volfaninpa]

With Charles Huff becoming Marshall's coach that gives another opening on Alabama's staff for Pruitt. Looking back, I think Huff was an underrated hire that Pruitt missed once he left.

 

[orangerush]

Haven’t you heard? We’re closing the gap.

If we could close the gap between Pruitt’s ears we might have a chance, the results so far say otherwise.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yes

Hmmmm so no personal accountability?

 

[Rylee_Vol18]

He’s not going to do that until the investigation is complete. It’s not over yet

It's over. He's staying

 

[turdherder11]

Will still find a way to split with Tennessee IMO

Nope. UT knows how to take care of Kentucky in basketball....unlike football.

 

[HankHill]

It's over. He's staying

Even if the entire outlook was different and we went 7-3 And we were begging to keep him... it still wouldn’t be over.

To be fair you said it was over yesterday

as you say here I don’t think any decision has been made yet
