Taj Boyd Decommits Article

Ran across this today on WVLT's web site. Shows it's the most popular story of the day. Their site is messed up. Or someone is rubbing salt! The Peyton Manning weed thing is pretty funny too. Just saw that for the first time.

QB Boyd decommits from Tennessee

 

[VeryBest]

In before someone complains about the spelling of his name and the relevance to UT football. It's coming.

 

[Eddie Vol Halen]

I wonder if Tajh was behind center in Autzen if we would have had all the "realism" threads this week.

 

[BigZiti09]

I think they've mixed it up with the Boyd kid involved in the Vandy rape case.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Why OP? Why?

 

[give_him 6]

Still too soon.

 

[hep]

This is pure masochism.

Tajh Boyd is good but we also had Bryce Petty committed. Petty is already projected a top 5 QB in the 2015 draft and may be a better pro prospect then Boyd. Through 2 games at Baylor he is 32-40 (80%) 650 yards. Yes it was against bad competition but probably better then what Worley has seen so far.

probably better?

And who recruited him???? :whistling:

 

[Volador]

Bad post - let's not put bad/old info up there - just jinxing ourselves and dont need any prospects seeing threads like this one. JMO

 

[memtownvol]

Just couldn't help yourself could you?

He recruited both IIRC.

Thanks Jimmy.

Kiffin told Tajh to look elsewhere and hitched our wagon to Bray. And now he's having trouble picking a QB at SC, and choosing wrong could be his undoing. The irony...

People forget Fulmer was putting together a good class in 08 despite the abysmal season. IIRC Tajh committed just a week our two before Fulmer was fired.

Kiffin came in and finished the class and got all the credit for a top 10 class. Ironically he ran off some of the commits Fulmer had lined up who went on to be solid to great contributors elsewhere and the players he added turned out to be busts. SMDH.

I still don't understand why people are so pissed at Kiffin for telling him he might be best to look elsewhere. Kiffin knew he was going to be running a pro-style offense, and a player like Boyd has no place running that sort of offense. It was a square peg and round hole situation. Should Kiffin have just lied to him to get him to stay committed knowing full well that he had chance of playing QB here?

Not to mention, Boyd was having a major knee surgery and would need a redshirt year.

Kiffin did some questionable things, but selecting Bray over Boyd for a pro-style offense isnt one of them.

Well LK is about be fired and hopefully our performance will bring him the QB back to UT

Other than Boyd, who are these great contributors we missed out on?

When it comes to CPF, facts seem to be revised.

Can't imagine what it would have been like having Bryce Petty and Tajh Boyd on the same team.....
