Darrin Kirkland Transferring

[Biopsyman]

Pruitt has made his stance clear. He won’t limit Kirkland’s transfer options.

The NCAA needs to make it clear for all grads

Deuces and good luck to him.

I saw him at dinner one time last year on crutches at Ruth's Chris and he was with what only I can describe as a handler. ( Granted not sure what a handler is It appeared it was his mom and this guy that would not be commonly found in East Tennessee - $2000 suit, too animated, Johnny Cochran type, made my skin crawl a little -- the same way attorneys make my skin crawl a little.

No offense.

Got all that from his suit?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Good luck to him. Not a big loss for us though.

 

[Grudenator]

Wtf. This came out of nowhere

Can't blame a kid for transferring if he wants to pursue a graduate degree that UT doesn't offer.

He majored in Finance. I’m sure UT offers every graduate degree imaginable for Finance majors.

I think the SEC needs to take a stance one way or another instead of the current system of allowing appeals.

Sorry, but this is BS! Kirkland was given the best medical attention possible, We as fans have excused his injuries, and now that he is finally healthy, He says #@%# Yall, I'm going somewhere else! He has a chance to freakin Shine in this D! I hope he explains why! Ive always thought of him as a stand up guy! To quit now, with so much opportunity in front of him, Makes no sense!

Forgot all about this guy

Good luck to him. Not a big loss for us though.

As of now we have 4 studs and nobody behind them. JUCO should help.

Maybe he is going to Baylor

 

[GetEmVols]

He just graduated.

Alright well he will hopefully make a good addition to North Carolina.

This doesn't bother me as much as it probably should. When healthy he was a great but he was hardly ever healthy.



It's not that big of a blow imo

 

[dan4vols]

Well good luck to the young man, I wish it weren't happening he could've been a real leader on the seasons defense but he's entitled to do whats best for him. He was an adequate to good inside LB. His tendency for injuries was troubling but when he did play he had some talent.

Still not that big of a loss. DK wasnt as good as some wanted him to be.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Sad to see him leave but they had recruited over him with JUCOs and Freshman. Plus we have a ton of LBs.

Doesn't make sense for him to stay when he could end up not starting and can play immediately somewhere else.

Good luck in your endeavors! Wish you well! Go Vols!

 

[butchna]

That guy was a plague.

Sure. But let’s not credit him with evil superpowers.

Was when healthy...so not often.

He doesn't fit the system and is doing what's best for his career

 

[BearCat204]

Good. Kid is made of glass.

The young man literally broke his body for our University and program. Think he deserves a bit more than an ******* comment like this

Well that came out of nowhere. Good luck to him. Hope he can stay on the field.
