I don't know why "class" has to be determined.

As a high school senior, he chose us over Alabama because he liked his fit in the scheme (which both schools shared) and decided his path to playing time was much quicker in Knoxville.

When the coaches who recruited him were fired, and the scheme totally changed, he decided to go elsewhere. It's not a surprising decision. We've benefitted from these same decisions in the past - Cade Mays comes to mind.

Of all things, I'm actually surprised Alabama had a spot for Henry. The rumor mill had been swirling that he didn't have a spot and he was going to land at Ohio State.

Well Alabama and Henrietta may face intra conference transfer hurdles. Sankey is proposing either sit a year or lose 2 scholarships to be able to play right away. If that were to get passed Alabama and Henrietta will have a choice to make. Then again maybe it becomes the wild wild west and no penalties for intra conference transfers. But its still up in the air until later this month when spring meetings occur. Yeah, I hope he has to sit out for sure.

Not really. Is what it is. I'm more mad about his teammates not being angry about it. That's why I brought up Swain. You know, an actual VFL, who talked about how he would have been ticked if one of his teammates transferred to Alabama and he's frustrated with the players on our team not caring.

Didn't you mention world class athletes? There's one, and I agree with him.

Of course every man is entitled to his opinion. Swain plays up the old-head VFL card because it plays with his fanbase. It pays the bills.

My opinion is it's not that big of a deal. The reason we can't compete with Alabama isn't because their players "care" more than ours do. They recruit good players and we don't. It's simple. I would have welcomed Henry back, he's a fine player, but not the difference in a successful 2021 season.

How much of that do you actually believe though? I think he went to the highest bidder and that line of credit was severed so his dad made him go to the next highest bidder.

For me I guess I'm more pissed at the in-state kids that bailed on us than Henry T.

Granted they went to OU or other non in conference Rivals so I guess that helps soften the sting.

there are no more Al Wilson's across sports.. The ones who are in the same light as Al are considered dirty or bullies in today's world..

In simpler terms - betas. Yeah, we get it. Which is why the same half dozen teams are in the playoffs each year who are not betas. Posters on here need to quit complaining about that little fact and go applaud for their favorite bandwagon team.

It's not that hard, people. Alphas win in football. Betas lose. Betas congratulate traitor teammates on getting a promotion to an alpha team. Truth is the betas congratulated T-Bron the alpha for being better than they are. Disgusting.

I guess I think it is low class to give up on his teammates. He did not give the new staff a chance to show him what it was going to be like post-Pruitt. He just took his ball and went home.

Just like I said yesterday. Screw him. He transferred to Bama. And the players on our team congratulating him are a freaking joke. They should be wanting to meet him on the field. But there’s no loyalty anymore. These dudes are freaking sissies
Click to expand...
Who are the players congratulating him? That’s some weak $hit right there. Be friends, but I’m not publicly wishing him good luck. F that noise.

My daughter is a dancer and if she got a free ride to any of those schools to be on the dance team, I would 100% support her. It is her choice to make with significant input from me and my wife. For the record, she wants to go to Tennessee, but if she has a better opportunity somewhere else, I am all in.

Sell out IMO.

Of course.

“Good luck next year Henry. Even though we’ve been striving to achieve the same goals and dreams for the past 2 years, going to workouts at 5 am with the rest of our teammates have fun playing with
your new Alabama team, our biggest rival. Try not to give me a concussion next year . #RTR”
Maurer’s never seen a cause on Twitter he didn’t need to address .

I'll be jumping up and down happy if my kids have SEC offers for whatever sport they play.. world class institutions from top to bottom.. I don;t think anyone is losing their Vol card for having to wear a UGA Uf or UA hat on Saturdays to support their kids..

Hat on Saturday is fine. Decal on my car. Nope

I have no idea. If he does it'll probably have more to do with back handing the fans who are trashing him so hard than his former teammates.
Click to expand...

Which fans? Alabama fans? He's quit so we're not fans of his. He made a big boy decision, he has to deal with the big boy fallout. I'm more upset he quit on his team mates when they needed his leadership most.
