Butch: "Jalen intends to transfer"

[Fingers]

Official per Butch's press conference.

 

[Orangeblood98']

Oh my.

 

[Kurtastrophe]

I actually thought he might convince him to stay...wow.

 

[Skullbone]

What a morale booster. Gees, what ever happened to finishing the season out and then quitting publically?

 

[GAVol]

Just a bizarre turn of events. Good luck to the kid....but, man, it makes no sense that he didn't just play out the year and get ready for the draft.

 

[Fingers]

Reporter: Was Jalen promised things schematically?

Butch: No.

 

[vflsmokey1]

something is very wrong with this team

That's what I don't understand. He's draft eligible. By all accounts, he'd be successful in an NFL running system. Odd all around.

:blink: Wow

Transfer.....instead of draft.....? Something is odd here for sure.

Good Luck Jalen, Thanks

 

[Fingers]

Kongbo still part of the team.

Butch: "He lost a FIFA game and those were soccer cleats he tweeted out."

 

[vol-un-tear]

Not shocked. Good luck! Kelly time!' Go Vols

 

[edyeary]

Why the hell would you transfer if you are going [maybe] to the NFL next year? I don't know if I want to listen to the rest of the conference. Ima be sick.

 

[Ez_Vol]

Just a bizarre turn of events. Good luck to the kid....but, man, this makes zero sense.

Makes a lot of sense seeing that he does not fit in Butch's offense at all. He works better in an I-Form offense if he's going to continue to play RB.

 

[rltw1974]

I am actually torn on this new development. Part of me says let him do what he thinks is best for him and his future. Another says he should have did this during the offseason and not in the middle of the season.

I actually sympathize with Hurd in the fact that he wasn't utilized properly for the style of RB that he is.

If the rumors are true that Butch ran the I Formation during the Northwestern game and promised Hurd that this was what Tenn was going to run in the future to keep Hurd from leaving last year then that is low on Butch's part.

 

[vols 30]

Beginning of dark times

 

[McDad]

Best wishes, Jalen.

 

[vader]

"Do you think team chemistry might improve?"

"Yes"

Wow

 

[Biopsyman]

What did the chart say?

 

[volfan102455]

We will be okay.

 

[CountVolcula]

Beginning of dark times

I say he wont be the last

 

[Biopsyman]

Kongbo still part of the team.

Butch: "He lost a FIFA game and those were soccer cleats he tweeted out."

Only because we have no bodies

 

[SobeVol]

now its time to pull out the mattresses
