Well that's just awful.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Might be legit, but I wonder if it's just a cover for why he won't be playing.

 

[ManningBerry#1]

Damn

 

[Exfix]

Thanks for sticking it out Pops. You will always be a VFL.

I don't wonder that either.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I don't wonder that either.

Lol but for real...

@Ben_Fred: #Vols C Rawane Ndiaye has torn ACL, according to UT coach Donnie Tyndall. First reported by @JimmyHyams. He will move to medical scholarship"


Makes me think it definitely could be shady, just a thought.

Awful, just awful.

Well if he hasn't had surgery in the next 2-4 weeks or so then we'll know.

looks like DT takes to the mafia way to make room on the roster.


i like it.

Medical scholarship.

They don't call him the Don for nothing

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Medical scholarship.

Correct, that's what Fredrickson's post states

Since he's no longer a player I doubt we even hear about a surgery

Students around campus will see him in a bulky dressing and crutches at the very least.

If it was a major player I agree, doubt you'll see legit posts either way. How long did Q walk around with a half beaten face and nobody said a word?

Maybe, but to fake an ACL injury for purposes of a scholarship reassignment makes for good discussion board rumors only. Practically it would be dumb to try to pull that off. At least pick something more vague and nonsurgical like "concussions." If you wanted to provoke discussion in a thread though, it seems to have worked.

I'm guessing it's legit, would be too easy to disprove if the NCAA wanted to question it, but regardless I doubt we get random sighting posts about pops from students.

Tyndall called up Tonya Harding and got this taken care of with a quickness.

LOL @ the suggestion that this is some mass cover-up operation.

After the Golden saga, the Q story, and disappearance of Dwight Miller....seems par for the course.

Wrong Forum!!!!
Mods please move.

That's ridiculous

Those three incidents took place under a regime that was as tight-lipped as any I've ever seen. All there was to do was speculate, but a fake ACL injury seems even over the top for Martin's bunch.

Tyndall has been very accessible to media and has been upfront from the word "go". Until he does otherwise, I can only assume that he is being genuine with regards to Pops.

Having said that, as others have suggested, why not fake an easier, less tangible injury than one that has required him to hobble around campus on crutches?

As I clearly stated above, I'm sure this is legit, was just a thought.
