It’s because he was a waste and a huge BUST.

He started a bunch of games for us. Not a waste. Hardly lived up to high expectations, but also nowhere near a grade-A bust either. There is a middle ground here. Maleik Gray is an example of a real bust, not Drew. For whatever reason he's been graded harder than anyone I can remember in recent memory.

People tend to expect more from 5*.

Im waiting on the day we find out if Solomon is eligible. Is there any deadline or is the NCAA just being clueless again?

Neither. I don't believe any deadline exists. Nor is anyone certain we have even filed yet. No rush really. Maybe we are sitting back and seeing what is working and what isn't. Better to get it right than to hurry it. A lot like the OC hiring.

They do, too much. Their fault really.

But Drew wasn't a 5 star anyway. He was a 97 rating, Gray was a 96. Others near this group - Todd Kelly Jr, Bates, Hurd, JG. Far from a "sure thing" rating, but for whatever reason no one cared much about Bates, Gray, TK, but Drew has been dumped on over and over for whatever reason.

It's ironic how trying to increase gender and racial diversity almost always has the effect of increasing gender and racial emphasis, while clearly the goal should be to do the opposite.

I had to chuckle a bit during Endgame. There was one Girl Power moment that was cute, but was odd, because until that point I hadn't even considered gender...all I saw before that was a team of super heroes fighting together.

White privilege is to never have to notice any of it. batman, superman, spiderman, white dude check check check. throw in a girl or minority "must be diversity, what are they trying to do? This is abnormal."

Bates wasn't dumped on because he never played. TK got dumped on plenty. No opinion on Gray. Drew gets dumped on because folks generally expect a 3rd year guy to get through a game without multiple false starts. And he was a 5* on Rivals. When I hear he mailed it in because he didn't like a coach and then leaves the team, I tend to have less grace. A guy who busts, but tries hard and doesn't quit gets more respect.

He had 5 penalties through 8 games last year. Trey had 4 during the same period. Too many for both, but again he got dogged, Trey did not. Just seems like people have never given him a fair shake.

I dont really care either way, just wish all fans would support all vols and wish them well.

Go Vols

That isn't even close to the point. The movie was diverse the entire time and I didn't notice until they clearly meant to emphasize it.
