Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Except if he stayed his career was over. Jalen was a grad transfer. Not apples to apples.

He. Quit.

 

[Rishvol]

I'm guessing he quit

 

[Jack Burton]

Finebaum’s homer is showing. Clemson’s drubbing of Bama has forced him to tear down the Tigers, Dabo, and Lawrence for any petty reason. Didn’t he even make snide comments about Lawrence’s hair this summer?

Lol I think it’s ridiculous that the kid asked for a Ring. Like he earned that ring.... he wasn’t part of the team for over half the season.... don’t even understand why this is an argument.

Good for the kid for looking out for his best interests, but what makes him think he deserves that Ring? Because he played in 4 games?

 

[OnOne]

Dormady Quit, but there was not a word said about it

He also didn’t ask for a ring.... “not that we had one to give”

 

[volatil]

Did Dormady quit mid season? Legit question. I forget.

Also drinking

@BGS the post about the dyersburg kid feeling homesick and vaguely wants to transfer

same could be argued Henry T... kid's just experiencing the early career away from home blues

 

[AaronUT]

Kelly Bryant soft quitter mentality that doesn’t like competition

Your only chance at the NFL requires you to quit the team to transfer, or stay and miss the draft. No brainer bud. You tip your hat and take a walk. You play for pride when you have nothing else to play for.

Team eyepoke looking strong

Freshman Elijah Simmons was back out there going through drills after getting poked in the eye early in practice on Wednesday.

Maurer has a quick release, and while it doesn't always come out as a perfect spiral, the rookie has the fastball down. He whistled one a little high to Cedric Tillman on a slant, but finished one set with an impressive throw on a dime to the boundary with Jim Chaney and Chris Weinke stressing to the quarterbacks that they place the ball to where the wideouts had to flatten out their routes after breaking to the sideline.
Shrout looks a little smoother mechanically and doesn't throw many wobblers, and his passes have a little less zip than Maurer's, but he got into a good rhythm and was hitting his targets more often than not on Thursday.
Kennedy remained in the middle of what's become a familiar first group with Wanya Morris at left tackle, Trey Smith at left guard, K'Rojhn Calbert at right guard and Marcus Tatum and right tackle.

Brown

Be careful, the HC here transferred for the very same reason.

Uhhh? He transferred FROM MTSU to BAMA...wanna redo that one?

I just read where Russell is running with the 2nd team lbs. I have a tough time believing he wants to leave.

 

[AaronUT]

He. Quit.

Why are you telling me he quit? He did quit, absolutely. You’re implying I think he deserves a ring. I never addressed that. Only setting the record straight on him quitting kept his chances alive to play one more season for the NFL draft. Good choice for quitting.

 

[UTProf]

Question: Who do we expect to be most effective at getting to the QB? Overall, how do you think our pass rush will be? Having a solid secondary has to help.

It was multi-posted for emphasis. You just got caught in the crossfire. Reasonable response from you.

I can understand the GoVols 24/7 site being #10 in clicks, but surprised it would be that high in subscribers. If that many TN fans can stomach Wes Rucker, then TN has a pretty amazing fanbase.

Football season is about to start, that board is about to pick it up big time. They staff four guys for a reason. The site got to big for just Wes & Ryan

 

[UTProf]

Darell Taylor

Is he the only one? Do we expect anyone else to step up? (I'm hoping for a big season from him and he seems primed for it but it would be nice to have at least one more).

Crouch will get to the QB also. Coach JP already has labeled him a playmaker, aka that dog'a hunt

 

[Chuckie]

Good grief. While reading all the posts about kidney stones, nature started calling for a visit to the urinal...and I was scared to death to go do it!

 

[SweetasSoda]

Kelly Bryant left after playing in 4 games so he would still have a year of eligibility.

Which means he chose a year of eligibility over getting a NC as the backup.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Not going to ever rip a kid for transferring. He knew Lawrence was better than him and decided to protect his eligibility. That’s fine with me.

Maybe he should get a ring, maybe he shouldn’t. I’d say there’s a steep likelihood he contributed more for that team than some other players.

Life is about choices. He had to choose between having eligibility to be the starter somewhere else or staying on a team to get a ring as the backup.

Had to check, haha, there it is.

Except if he stayed his career was over. Jalen was a grad transfer. Not apples to apples.

If he stayed his career wasn’t over.
If he played his career was over

The appropriate thing to do was sit down with Dabo and say he would finish the year as a non playing back up. If there was a situation where he needed to play it was fully up to the kid to make that call. Essentially he should have stayed and been the 3rd team Qb
