How do you believe everything swain says but totally disregard de1conley or whatever his name is
One is positive one isnt
It’s the same as picking recruiting services to fit an agenda
Our recruit rankings and transfer portal commits will reflect our NIL deals and right now we’re not crushing it

De1Conley is a proven liar.

It has been my experience that in the 10+ years that I have been listening to Swain (maybe 12-13 years now), that when he takes a hard stance or "sets the record straight", more often than not he's right.

I see former and current players co-sign his statements as fact.

When he peels back the curtain for the fan, he's not misleading them. I appreciate that about Swain that he gives fans that experience. I choose to trust him.

None of that answered the question. I'm not anti-Swain. I'm more or less pulling Bass's chain. But Bass said trust Swain because he talks to Hubbs. Just the other day it was reported Hubbs said Texas outdid us on NIL for Neyor while Swain said that didn't happen. So who do we believe?

Lol read the last sentence of my post that you quoted.

Oh can we talk about the Brent Hubbs power hour how Brent spent the entire first segment discussing all about the Neyor situation and how/what Tennessee might do now.

Then they go to commercial and they open segment two by taking a call from Steve and Steve hits them with a “hey fellas hey Brent what about that wide receiver from Wyoming that went to Texas and who does Tennessee take now well okay fellas.

🙄

Stop taking his calls.

My "go to"? Trying to have a somewhat normal conversation, but seems impossible with you flying off the handle and losing your ****. How much of a "disaster" has it been that these atheletes have been nothing but a cash cow for everyone but themselves?

Also...we are the cash cow, not these players that might start for a year or two.

College football fans fanatic loyalty to their teams are the driver of the money...not the players.

Without our passion there is no money.

Who on the defensive side even deserves a NIL deal lol
Even the coaches outside of RG didn’t deserve to be paid for that **** we saw last year

I dont want to lose Banks - he did do a good job in a position he only just started in, what, last year? I don’t think hundreds of thousands of $$ that he may think others are getting is the answer, though. This is why NIL concerns me.

Just got a text from one of my old trainers to not be surprised if there’s mumbling about another defensive starter considering a transfer due to NIL issues in the coming days. Could be fixed internally before it goes public, but get your cups out just in case. Tennessee is gonna have to do a better job with this stuff starting yesterday.

Good, we need more spots to open on defense anyway

Hate to say it, but Banks’ history comes into play, too, when he wants to be paid. Kids will have to learn quickly that their conduct (even in high school) means so much more now. If guys got into trouble, they could rehab themselves in college for a couple of years and still get paid in the pros. Now, if they want to be paid immediately, they better behave.

But i thought he has been since he was given his second chance,,,?

You are going to keep to the opinion that the athletes who play the game are not the driver of the money involved in college athletics? With no players, you are just watching grass grow on a field.

Here us a good question...If our NIL game is so on point, then why are we reading about problems with starting players?

Either Banks is a pure f'n ungrateful jackass scumbag that is asking for far more than he is reasonably worth, or our NIL guys are not doing their job and taking care of starting players..so which is it?

If Banks is holding the team hostage out of pure unreasonable greed, then **** him...I never want to see him in a Tennessee jersey again, but if hasn't been taken care of in a reasonable manner..then our guys suck.

Which is it? I really don't know..🤷‍♂️

@VolsDoc81TX and others.. have inexplicable localized severe pain in my thigh for about 24 hours now. It is ever so slightly warm, no swelling. There was no sort of trauma or injury to the leg when it happened. My wife is convinced I have a blood clot. Should I go to the ER?

This is what you should be pissed about. Tennessee has the resources to be competitive in this new NIL environment.

Ben McKee who literally works for Hubbs, was agreeing with Swain on his show. He has the same info Hubbs has, the same info Swain has. I don't think there's disagreement. I think that perhaps there was a misunderstanding of what Hubbs was saying somewhere.

The fact is, Neyor committed to TN because of NIL. But the kid always wanted to be home. He probably committed to us to force Texas to up their game and pay him because he wanted to be there. Texas did not vastly overpay such an amount that we could not match. The kid wanted to be in Texas.

That being said, if Texas wanted to outbid us they could. They're Texas.

Lol I’m not gonna act like this is the word of God. This guy has passed along info that other Memphis area players have told him before that hasn’t panned out. But I know for 100% fact he spoke with him over the last 24 hours. JB has expressed interest in transferring before, when Pruitt was canned, and this staff got him to buy in and stick around. Hopefully they can do it one more time.

I’m not mad at you
For all we know you could be best friends with banks
I do t understand bass acting like swain is the word and swain saying fans don’t know anything
People on here have more connections then everyone think
They go to school with the players, have kids who do, know the parents, are neighbors, are friends, etc….
Fans rumors are 50/50 when it comes to truth just like swain is and bc he’s a former player doesn’t mean he knows everything
That’s why you don’t believe it unless the university or CJH make a statement about things

I'm not a doctor, but I would suggest you keep on the safe side and just take a visit to the ER rather than ask anyone on VN...................any doc would probably tell you the same.

If it was pure amateurs...I would still go to games and buy Tennessee stuff...so yeah.

Players play on HS fields all over the country just for the love of the game and the chance to get better...so yeah.

Our NIL is so on point we convinced Hooker and Tillman to come back and the only people to hit the portal were processed players.

The starting players you reference is an internet rumor at this point.

Relax before you get your period blood all over your keyboard.
