According to the pay site at KNS Mitchell can have his record expunged if he keeps his nose clean for the next 30 days. He represented himself in court today. According to the article CPF will accept him back if he follows through with the ruling and if he makes ammends by following the team's punishment as well. IMO this seems to have worked itself out quite fairly.

i hope your right, we need him in the linebacker spot this season. im not so sure of the other guys we have right now at that position. the only two i remember playing last season are mayo and karl (correct me if im wrong). but i remember hearing somewhere that karl quit the team. can anyone confirm this?

Working out exactly as I expected. You don't pile on a good kid to prove a point.

Agreed. Would have been an non-incident had it not been for last year's unfortunate off season.

I don't know if that might be happening with Raymond Henderson.

One has to wonder what his other two strikes must have been. It could be to his benefit that details of his transgressions are mostly private. Without that information it is hard to know if his actions warranted an expulsion from the team.

The initial reports said that Henderson had already had a couple of things that put him in the doghouse.

that's probably the case for a lot of the guys...we don't know who all has been in trouble before, all the time...which is why in this case, i'll defer to CPF on his decision. the only thing that matters is that he know what's going on so he can make the right decision for the individual player and his team.

Well, that would be fine... but, I feel that the way his problem is being presented, they've really emphasized that he offended an adolescent girl. If they want to keep this private, why let something humiliating like that get out? It just seems a little shady and you would think we would know more about it, considering that the incident resulted in someone getting booted.

depends on how "offensive" the altercation became...i doubt if he would have gotten booted if he called the girl "short", which could be taken as offensive. Which leads me to believe he did/said something very inappropriate. Add that to the fact that he had previously been involved in some other incidents, and it adds up.

Sounds like heresay to me. I'd also like to know what the other offenses were.

maybe, maybe not....but we don't need to know the other offenses....that's why he's the coach...he has to make a decision based on the information on hand.

I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have kicked this kid off the team, if it was no big deal....and if he had no previous incidents involving disciplinary issues.

and at this point, that's what you have to take out of this.....he's not throwing kids off the team to make himself look good....he never has before, doubt he would start now...if that were the case, Mitchell would be gone.

each case is different...each individual is different....it's not up to us to decide or require that we be told about everything the coach has to make a decision on....

Mitchell is much more important for next year's success than Henderson.

i agree....and he also has spent 4 years at UTK w/out getting in to any sort of trouble....if Mitchell had been a so called problem child, he probably wouldn't have made it after this last incident.

That's great news.I would rather have paid an attorney to represent me though.That representing yourself can backfire sometimes.

Thats probably true.Lifes a gamble and that's one I'd rather not take.
