'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

First let me say I like both players I am referencing and I am not bashing either player. I wonder if they same people calling Nolan a cancer, prima donna, etc.. will also use those terms for Boo Carter? By all accounts - from teachers, school administrators, and coaches who have firsthand experience with him- he should be labeled the same as Nolan.
 
Nolen was from the class of 2022. I don't think he was involved in the Pruitt scandal. He was offered by Heupel and Nolen has said that he was made a good NIL offer.

I doubt we pursued him this time around. I don't think that recruitment ended amicably 2 years ago.
Pruitt/his staff was the one that started recruiting Nolen and pretty certain money was involved. It was rumored we were in a good spot for him early on. Heupel and staff attempted to continue to recruit him but again rumor that Garner wasn’t as high on him for one reason or another. Not sure if it was attitude or what.

Eh, that only affects people who live their life on social media, doesn’t matter much in the grand scheme. One of those coaches is a child and the other is an adult…

On another note, I’ll never understand how any so called VFL would want him back here after he sparked the fire that sent our program into the abyss for almost a decade and a half.
I think you’re giving him too much credit.

Prove that he isn't.
lets be fair, most reliable media outlets do not post regular "reasons this guy is not a cancer to the locker room" stories for someone to reference as to why a guy is not bad news. the only thing Nolen can be accused of is gaming a system to make more money. i still dont see the problem with that. i mean, i am sure if you make $12 an hour flipping burgers at Burger King and the boss tells you they think they will give you a raise to $15 because you are better at your job than when you got there, you are not going to say "i'll take $10 and feel good knowing i am doing it for the pride of BK"

Chain of events. He left at about the worst time, which limited our ability to hire a quality coach and created an unstable situation with 3 coaches in 3 years... I can’t think of many things that would ever make me turn in my Vol card, but his rehiring would be one of them.

That dude is Ole Miss-bound.
That’s the word, but is he in the barn as of yet? I’m just now checking in since I’ve worked all day, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s stringing OM along and still shopping around for NIL $$$.

You pledge fealty to the Kingdom of Burger, or the consequences will be dire.

Burden of proof is on the one making the claim. The conversation went:

"He's a cancer. Don't want."

"Prove he's a cancer."

"Prove he's not."


That's not how it works. A statement isn't true until proven false.
Maybe in a court of law, this is the internet. Everybody better bring receipts.
 
The laws of logic and rational debate work here too.
