I get that players want an amount of privacy when they have "personal issues." We'd all want privacy.

Strangely by alluding to this unknown "personal issue" often yet calling for its hushed status, you make people even more curious about what's going on. It's like telling a friend, "I have a secret, but I can't tell you what it is." Naturally, that friend is going to want to know even more now.

This kind of thing played out with Janzen Jackson and at least several other players. News media guys would leak out little hints, and then continue to say they couldn't (or wouldn't) talk about it. Then stop talking about it already!

Agreed.

I heard Pig bent down behind CZA while Drae Bowles pushed him over Pig. Naturally, CZA was furious, and benched Bowles for the push. Pig, since he was the accomplice, has to apologize and run goat trails to earn his spot back. TIFWIW.

It's up to Pig, but I think he should come back.

He's gonna be getting open with Malone, North on the outside. Malone, North, Pearson and Pig in our 4 WR sets would be fun to watch.

I hope he does come back. AT least we know its not grades and looks to just be a better teammate/working harder thing. Kid has all the talent in the world. Having him in the offense IMO makes it click.

Come on Pig, do things the right way. We want to see you in orange.

Not sure what's going on with Pig, but it's really too bad he can't get it together. This offense is taylor-made for guys like him.

Yep...he wasn't gonna do anything but get better with the new guys on campus. I hope they can work something out and he comes back. All those guys would be fun to watch

2014 NFL Draft: List-acular Notes from Mike Loyko | NEPatriotsDraft.com - 2014 NFL Draft

One person's take on the draft (not sure re: credibility of this site, so apologies).

A few Vols in here so thought I'd share. Can't say I disagree with the assessments. Too bad for Tiny but I think this guy is right.

what really matters now that they capped the first round amounts is how you perform and how quick you can get to that 2nd contract and prove you can play

I think Tiny will do just fine as a RT and if he is avl in the 4th-5th like this guy thinks I sure hope my cowboys scoop him

he would start from us day 1 at RT imo

im not so sure on that - he wouldnt have been in our top 3 imo

VP takes the slot with or w/o Pig on campus

certainly prefer to have him as good to have experienced depth but not sure how many reps he was going to get

I still think Tiny goes top 4 rounds on potential, but I agree with his assessment of Neal, Mac, and James. No way big dan sticks on a roster for long.
Click to expand...

Next to not making a bowl game, big dan ranks among my biggest 2013 disappointments. I was convinced heading into the season that CBJ would reach him and he'd be a monster. Aside from good play in the USCe game, he was essentially a non factor.

Hope Neal gets drafted. He's one I'm really pulling for. He had a nice senior year and worked really hard on his improving his game over four years. He came a long way.

Hope Tiny avoids injury and makes a name for himself. He seems to really want it. He strikes me as a guy with the right make up to be very successful.

Oh I don't think he would be in top 3 either, but he would get his reps. I was only saying the attention being paid to the big 3 would help him make an impact.

true

situation just seems strange - like in a few months it will all come out and we will understand why he likely won't play again for UT and it will make sense - but for now just seems strange

Sure does seem odd. Hard telling what exactly the deal is, but something has been brewing behind closed doors for a lot longer than the public knew about evidently.
