Pruitt tweeted "Congratulations Robi Coker and Plainview High School on back to back State Championships! #2muchblue #PLV" on March 1. The tweet was deleted 37 minutes later, after a compliance official noted that it constituted an impermissible endorsement of a high school team and its coach.
The other football-related violations involved a non-coaching staffer driving family members of a recruit beyond the 30-mile radius of campus where contact is permitted and having three non-coaching staff members conduct an offseason conditioning session.
Tennessee officials said they initially arranged a car service for the recruit's family before realizing he had eight siblings who couldn't be left unattended while his mother visited campus. Tennessee instead had a non-coaching staffer drive the mother and siblings to and from their home, which was about 225 miles from Tennessee's campus. School officials said no recruiting conversations occurred during the December trip.
The NCAA took away four recruiting evaluation days from Tennessee for that violation.
You realize only subs can read that rightTake 2 on Aggies talking UT. Today is mostly blasting Pruitt. They respect him as a DC, but question his ability to step back and be a HC...also left off beating Aub at Aub:
A few notes on Jeremy Pruitt and Tennessee
I believe the difference here is crouch was a 5 star RB in high school. The other stuff sounds gimmicky for sure, but Crouch is a proven stud at RB. Putting in a package for him would be a brilliant idea, imo
It wasn’t really even a gimmick with AJ Johnson. We didn’t have a comparable RB. It’s replacing Ray Rice with Ray Lewis in this scenario...which would be scandalous.We need help and depth at LB.
No need for gimmicks. We are solid at RB with Chandler, Jordan, and Banks.
Crouch needs to focus on LB and learning the position.
