He was dismissed due to a bar incident.. As far as getting him, we would have to trust Pruitt with that decision.
He had a 6-week drug-related suspension in place for the upcoming season before he was kicked off of the team.
Wasn't he the guy that got sent home during the Opening or a HS All-star game for beating someone up there as well?
What does anyone on VN know about the allegedly released Bama LB, VanDarius Cowan? Not sure if wholly true or not nor why if true he was booted. Supposed to be a 4* but wonder if it's worth the Vols seeking to add him to the team.

No, he was kicked off of his HS team. So he could not play in the All Star game.
I don't really understand why people think trying to get this guy to transfer here would be a good idea.
I think there is an SEC rule that doesn't permit schools from accepting dismissed players from other schools.
It's only if they were dismissed for serious misconduct which is defined as sexual assault, domestic violence or other forms of sexual violence.

League presidents and chancellors voted Friday to add dating violence, stalking or conduct of a nature that creates serious concern about the safety of others to its current legislation regarding transfer students, a bylaw that was passed in 2015.
I mean no ill will against the man personally, but we spent years with players always getting in trouble, and thankfully Butch Jones DID put a stop to that. It's been nice not being a laughingstock in the news for misbehaving players like we used to.
We don't need to start going down that road again.
Butch Jones also put a stop to signing athletes that can compete at a championship level. If you recruit hulks, you will inevitably get hulk behavior. It's just a matter of keeping control of your program.
