I know this is being discussed in the portal thread but wanted to break out the discussion.
Does anyone remember a more weird situation? A guy sits out a year, the talk is that he could come back next year, and now he's in the portal?
From listening to Vitello's comments I always assumed there was some sort of off the field issue. Maybe that's still the case but he doesn't see himself as a fit here next year? I know some have talked about maybe Curley at third next year and Antigua at short.
Imagine having had Denton at DH this year.
Regardless, I wish him well. I'll always remember his home run against Clemson. One of the all-time great plays in Vol baseball lore, imo.
