How many seniors pass on the bowl game?

[wmcovol]

I predict a record of seniors across the country will sit out meaningless bowl games this year. We may see a couple of Vols sit it out.

 

[DEFENDTHISHOUSE]

I’d say....... none.

If worms had swords, birds wouldn’t mess with them.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I predict zero. Trey Smith might sit out.

The game isn't meaningless unless you are a clear cut first round pick, and we don't have any of those.

Bituli, Jennings, Callaway, DWA, and Warrior could all improve their draft stock in the bowl game.

 

[JarrettClass79]

None

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Two

I agree with any senior sitting out to protect possibly their only major future payout, but I don't think we have anyone in that position. They all need to show out.

I'd bet a few bama players pass on the bowl, along with most of their fans.

I think there’s too much pride in this Senior class to not go down swinging together. These guys have laid the foundation for the new culture at Tennessee. They’ll see this thing through.

What Vol seniors would possibly pass on playing in a bowl game?

 

[TNnative]

All the Vols at this point have something to prove. None. I could care less what players from other teams do.

These guys have seen the low points of this program only to scratch and claw there way out of the dumps of this conference... No way they sit out when this is what they fought so hard to get to.

I think any kid that sits out anywhere should have to give scholarship money back. It’s BS. Imo

How many seniors across the NCAA sat out their bowl games last year? I am predicting the number does not change more than 2 up or down. The numbers should NOT include those with injuries on the mend. Last year, the articles reported 10, therefore; I am predicting no less than 8 no more than 12.

It would be worth it for many if they had to do that due to the potential loss of earnings and quality of life due to injury risk.

I AGREE with what is in your heart-but if you were a HC you would rather have one of these guys sit out, than "fake" an injury, play soft (avoiding getting hit, or making hits), or contaminating the rest of the team with their BS. I am predicting, once players can get unlimited outside money for their likeness, this sort of behavior will be much more common.

 

[Other_Guy]

You ain't keeping Jennings from playing. Callaway needs as many big catches as possible for his draft stock.

 

[4chrissy]

Why are they even given a choice? I don’t understand why it’s now considered a choice nowadays.

 

[MyVolsDropped]

We all know JG didn't "pass" on the Vandy game so look forward to him being there starting at QB unfortunately.

Go VOLS!!

 

[VOLinPD]

Welp, considering that Bowl Games are the most highly-scouted games of the year, probably not.

 

[lukeneyland]

Trey Smith has literally risked his life playing for us, Jennings loves to fight, Calloway loves Tennessee. None of our players are sitting out. Smith and Jennings are genuine legends

 

[RollerVol]

whether they sit out or not won't change my opinion of them...still VFLs...I will respect their choice, either way...and, as always...

GO BIG ORANGE!
