'21 TN DB Elijah Howard (VA Tech Commit)

[DarkAvenger]

It depends on the convo leading up to today..... gits are going to happen this tune of year..... ole miss had one tonight as well.....better for the kid to find a spot where he may be able to play then waste time sitting on our bench.

That’s betting on not losing guys to the portal after the year. I’m expecting a few more to leave just a matter of what positions.

Nobody has a clue how the players feel and if Elijah Young is not a winning SEC talent.... does it really matter?

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

The timing of this really sucks.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

i just remembered i have 1 beer in the fridge

Go to the store

 

[Lt. Nordberg]

I get it, but if he can't play at this level, our fans will roast him worse than tonight on twitter and message boards to the point he hates it here anyway. It's happened a lot the last several years. JG is the latest to join that group.

 

[ACvol3]

Because it might not be “we” anymore.

Wishful thinking IMO

 

[escapegoat2]

That makes me seriously sad.

A lot of SEC winning talent ( whatever the hell that is) ends up getting snubbed by SEC teams and go on to prove themselves to be great athletes. Tennessee isn’t Alabama, or Georgia, or Florida and is in no position to snub any kid especially 24-48 hours before signing day. Pruitt is a pompous ass and it does matter because these high school coaches take notice of that ****.

Go to the store

-1

0 beers....

enter wine.

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Stop overreacting over this guys. It’s part of the business to cut players like that and Howard clearly had another place to go. It’s not like he just cut him the day before without him having a spot somewhere else.

Hope he kills it at VT

You are making a lot of assumptions that you don’t have a clue if it is true or not.....

I’m assuming of the visuals that are coming from the program. Looks like a big pile of **** with a healthy side of flies on top.

If we were 6-3 right now, nobody would be complaining about this.

Yep
Wouldn’t hear a peep

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Dirty way to get got by the git

 

[Volbucky]

The day before signing day? I don’t give a crap about the record when it comes to that type of stuff. They held him on the hook too long and cut him too late. No other way around it. Screw Pruitt.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

That’s a big “IF”.

Pruitt already had his chance to make changes earlier in the season and he refused.

Too late now.

 

[VOLED]

if you cut this kid, why wait to night before nsd? doesnt have a good look imo

I get this is a business but you have to have some morals. This is complete BS.

 

[VolsdeepVFL]

We are only losing Chandler off this years team and signing Brown/Evans, I think they kept him around until they knew Evans will sign. Theres no reason to take him now, sucks but part of having more depth and being able to be pickier.

I believe he was gonna play defensive back

 

[GoalDancer]

Absolute truth. My son plays w/ EH, Pruitt called and dumped him night before, said he wasn't going to have a chance to play the position they told him. (committed as a DB, they also told him they'd play him like Kamara too)
I know this happens all over FB, however, we have 10-4 stars committed and 11-3 stars committed. If we weren't taking any 3's, I would get it, but you cut a 3, who's really a hometown kid, the night before. **** Pruitt, E is as good of kid as there is loved by his team mates, works hard and has come around in school too, I hope he kills it at VT.

If they don’t make the right hire a lot more than Chandler won’t be Vols next season

He made mental errors that he preached to his team not to make.
Keeping the same QB expecting a different outcome
Firing your DL coach to save another is Butch Jones 2.0
After he had no choice he played Bailey and stuck Maurer in just to screw with the offense

He’s built to be what he was a DC at a school who can cover up things not a HC
