Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Just when things start to calm down... here comes Knox news!!! F’ing idiots.. it’s game week! Be better!

@JacketVol wth thought you told the media to back off man......

 

[Sleegro]

I know this is a controversial opinion and maybe offensive, but imo I think we should maybe let the investigation happen and see what maybe happened before deciding how to punch Bryce. Regardless of what people are tweeting. Although I know the scranton strangler will be all over this too. HR can be such a drag.

 

[rocktopper16]

It is different woman than woman in Knoxville

Then how when she stated they’ve been together for 4 years? I guess her statement is meaningless now to the authorities.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I’m worked up again. Media has no respect. If Fulmer has any balls he revokes their pass.

I agree that Knox News should no longer be able to have media access at UT.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

I was catching up, and saw the BT twitter lynching first..

Most will be feasting on the good news coming out today first since the news of Bryce’s arrest happened over the weekend and probably won’t concentrate on more coming out now. I know I am.

Looks like he had more than one girlfriend

Someone should Vol twitter on it. If we have the power to stop schiano from happening then we have the power to stop this bullsssssss

 

[VolInDayton]

Something to consider is that Pruitt has shown to be pretty hard players who get into trouble. The prior record of toughness/low tolerance should come into play as this story unfolds IMO.

Twitter is so dumb. They are bringing up Tennessee not wanting Schiano. They act like not wanting someone to lead and be accountable for your program should be similar to giving a kid a second chance who never has been convicted of breaking any laws (I dont even think he was charged for anything in high school but idk).

The impression I get from Pruitt is he is no nonsense and honest. He is a teacher and knows how to demonstrate compassion when its needed but will also do the right thing.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It is. But unlike defensive line we do have options at CB.

Either way... This Twitter deal is the typical overreaction.

I don't condone what he did or has done.

But a lot of what we're seeing right now on social media is reaction to a headline. With little to no regard for what might have actually happened.

I'll just say this...I think we did our due diligence and if our adminstration says he can play after the suspension then good with me.

If not then that likely means there's a lot more that we don't know, and that's good with me too.

I know it is an overreaction, but in this stupid hyperwoke society...common sense very rarely holds sway..that is what I am afraid will happen, the university will feel forced to be hardnosed, and we know how puny UT is when it comes to this stuff, or at least how puny they have been...hopefully things are different with Phil and Jeremy in charge.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Someone posted a quote from that article that said BT had threatened to hurt himself. If that’s true, this kid needs help. UT needs to do everything they can for this guy

 

[rocktopper16]

Whale, there’s your sign.

I just pray for the boy. Nobody needs their laundry aired out like this. Why I hate the local buzz papers and what not. He has never laid a hand on a women but has been condoned for it. If he had, I would be all for him getting the boot & I can guarantee this, if we do give him the boot he will be at another SEC school.

So true, also help with his girlfriend or girlfriends as well. They both need counseling.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Lol, the restarining order was mutual where they both stated abuse I think Bryce might have been 17 at the time too. See if someone can verify that. Knox news about to get their media passes took.

Also it states ex, when in fact; They have been together almost 4 years now booooy we need to stay the **** outta people’s personal life. Glad jobs don’t look into **** like that.

 

[Aesius]

Probably a “if you leave me I’ll kill myself” thing

There just is no easy answer for stuff like this.

One of the saddest things I have ever seen is the Lawrence Phillips documentary. I really think TO did all he could for him but it wasn’t enough

Well Phil was never shy about second chances. If they believe he's worth it he'll get it and the help he probably needs.

I'd like to agree with you, but I'm afraid in the current environment the university won't be willing to face public pressure from the usual people and will boot him. I trust Pruitt and Fulmer to do the right thing, whatever that is. But I don't trust the higher-ups.

If "the kids come first" means anything, he won't get railroaded for the sake of good PR.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Of course OU and MSU has dudes who actually beat up a woman and nothing happened there and the smoke ultimately blew over so

Yep. Remember how they brought up the MSU kid's issues ON DRAFT DAY AS HE WAS BEING DRAFTED?

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Solomon news is huge. I'm sure Harbaugh is pouting in his Walmart pleated khakis. Hopefully Ohio State puts him in his place once again and I'm no buckeye fan.

 

[Ron Swanson]

It will blow over here as well. He argued with girls and said some things he shouldn't have, before and now again. That's it. He didn't beat anyone or rape anyone. Oh no, let's send him to Alcatraz! Society is so lame these days. I'm with Saban on this stuff, instead of kicking him off the team maybe we should help him? Oh gee, seems like such a wild idea, huh?

Let the twitter justice warriors have their misery parade for a few more days and it'll go away. Get the kid some counseling, suspend him for a game or two and coach/teach/mentor him into being a good person. Or we could just kick him off and rejoice with the Dan Wolkens of the world...

Kick him off just to see him play at another school. So, honestly just give him the help he needs here. He’s never struck a women, he’s never really done anything wrong yet he’s being treated as if he has.
