Thompkins can only go if the goes back to JUCO this year or sits out a year. He signed a LOI with UT in December so he may take a few days and think about what it would mean if he did not come to UT.
J.Smith will be a Vol...he just went home to wait and see who the new coach and staff will be. He did not enroll early so he would have to wait until 1st semester of summer school to enroll and start practicing. That sucks but it's better than losing him for good.
