Eric McKnight appeal denied

[Freak]

According to Rivals, his appeal has been denied and he will not be allowed to join Tennessee.

I think this was addressed in another thread but thought it was new thread worthy.

He won't be a part of the team this fall.

The SEC totally screwed us...

He was going to be heavily counted on. I think the staff and most on campus felt like the waiver was a done deal.

Transfer Eric McKnight has been denied a graduate transfer waiver from the SEC that he needed to be eligible this fall. McKnight had been granted the waiver through the NCAA, but because he's a graduate transfer who had some disciplinary issues at his previous school, he had to also get a waiver from the SEC.

This waiver was denied, as was an appeal to the SEC. As a result, McKnight will not be a part of the program season.

I wonder what the back-up plan is. What quality (I know, that word takes on different meaning this late in the cycle) post players are still available?

Will Willie Carmichael please stand up

You beat me to it.

SEC denied due to previous discipline issues? With the history of their league, that's a joke.

I think McGhee will be way better than Carmicheal this year.

I think McGhee will be way better than Carmicheal this year.

Hopefully one of them steps up this year or both. I like both of them, high eneregy guys that will crash the boards.

You'd think the SEC would want us to do well since we're really the only SEC school making noise on the bball scene except for UK, and UF.

Both will play now.

Probably sign with Auburn now.

 

[Freak]

The NCAA cleared him but the SEC wouldn't. Interesting.

 

[Freak]

What were his disciplinary issues? Do we know? I can't recall.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

It's a done deal. Auburn would take the entire team from the Longest Yard.

SEC on a power trip.

Idk, but every other transfer in the SEC stole a laptop or was arrested for maryjuwana and then cleared

Would have gotten into Florida or Kentucky. Slive is a POS.

he should've thrown a girl down the steps or texted her it was time to die, or fall asleep in an intersection and get a dui, then he'd be on the court without issue from the SEC.

It was going to be a tough season already, but now this news really hurts. Who is going to rebound? Pops, we are sorry, don't leave.

So true. This is a bs move by the SEC.

He tore his ACL I believe so he couldn't help if he wanted to

I forgot about "Time to die". Classic.
