It can't be that hard to figure out. He got cut to make room for the new guys.
It's dirty to "let someone go" at the end of their shift.
Actually it's called attrition. And, attrition that is killing depth. Did UT have depth issues last year? Yup
Agree...is what it is, but would like to know how our attrition stacks up w/ SEC peers over last 2-3 years. It certainly feels like we've had more than other rivals, which, during first couple years was OK.
We must have that two deep depth, or we're going to be running on fumes every year, and one of those late season games is going to bite us like LY.
To me, has to do with: poor evaluation during recruiting, or over sold playing time, or just didn't develop. That we've had so many makes me think it falls more to flawed evaluation during recruiting, where we have high expectation on the field, but they just can't get there.
THIS is huge as he provides UPPER classmen depth......you don't want TRUE freshmen as your depth as we know Butch will make all the excuses if he has to play True freshmen

Dang it. I had high hopes for him after his FR season. Thought he was impactful on ST. But, he kinda disappeared (with some others) in that dismal LB corps we played with last season. So, I guess if your not rising to the top in that situation, your toast when everyone gets healthy.
I guess that gets us to 85 now then. Right?
Dirty but necessary. If a kid doesn't hold his end up, then they need to be let go. It's a business and kids know that or st least they should. Nothing is stopping any of them from getting an education, now he has to pay for half of it or move on.
I don't know the daily grind of all our safeties. But, I agree that Nigel Warrior played with a strong athleticism and swagger last season as a learning true freshman. It reminded me of players like Demetrius Morley, Carl Pickens, Dwayne Goodrich, Deion Grant and Eric Berry when they stepped foot into the defensive backfield for the first time at UT. Maybe you call it the "it" factor or whatever. But, I think, its just a confidence based on ability. Warrior has it.
