Legend Bey

I love beys talent and potential but (and im sure most feel this way) if he wants to be at ohio state, i would much rather him be there. I want the players that want to be here and the last thing im worried about is WR. But the thing that really bothers me is (the granted probably smaller group of ohio state fans) that keep trying to make it sound like heupal or tennessee had ill will with this guy. Thats gross behavior.

This is what I’m saying. I hope everything works out with Bey, but he’s not Manning, Tebow, Cam Newton, etc. One of those guys that you can build your entire program around. We have better kids signed now and there will be better kids in the portal if we make the right moves.

Last thing we need is another Boo Carter situation which hurts the team long term.

If he wants to go to Ohio State, good for him. If this was 10 years ago, I'd say this is a significant loss but not anymore with how prevalent the portal has become. Tennessee has a ton of depth coming back in the receiving core so idk you really need to recruit that core any harder.

I think we should look for some safeties, DB's maybe a veteran DL and a 1 year rental QB

Let him go. This situation is pretty bad. For all the why didn’t he just wait comments, you are expected to be an early enrollee now. Most programs tell you straight away that if you do not ee them you will not play year one. You miss b bowl/playoff practice and spring practice and are going to redshirt. If they want you to come in and compete for a spot immediately, then not being an EE is not really an option.
With him not being 18 until late December, he cannot legally sign for himself until after that deadline has passed. He was essentially held hostage by timelines. I’d love for him to want to be here, but it sounds like a kid who was powerless getting out in a situation by a parent. Maybe not but it does smell that way at least somewhat

Clearly the kid has no desire or want to be at Tennessee just release him from his NLI or just let him enter the portal in a few weeks

Because he doesn’t want to be here at all .

He pretty much made that clear when he flipped to Ohio State when he commented about it

Yep. Legend is a gentleman and a scholar. He has my upmost respect.

Anyone tracking all the drama with Legend Bey?

If it’s true that his family pushed him and he did not want to come to UT. I’d honestly prefer him to go to Ohio State and avoid another Boo Carter situation.

I don’t think his mom is ratchet like Boo, but if a kid’s heart really isn’t into going to Tennessee, I think it’s a bad look on the university unless they release him and let him go where he wants.

Plus, if a kid doesn’t really want to be here, why have that in the locker room.

Have OSU buy his NIL contract/angreement out with interest. If he doesn’t want to be here use him as an example for the rest of college sports.

He can go into the portal in a few weeks but the headlines and his name will be attached to a school collective holding a player accountable.

This is the other end of parental spectrum compared to Boo / Nico. Instead of the parent pushing the kid away from UT, the parent (a-parent-ly) is pushing to UT. Neither is ideal. The parents in the situations are too involved. Too meddlesome. I would really like to see Bey at UT. But where he attends should be his decision.

Depends on the kid. Some kids can't make good decisions at this age so their parents should most definitely be involved.

Parents of 17 year olds should be evolved in life changing decisions. At this point everything is speculation, if he asks for a release, I'm sure he gets one and our roster will not be ruined.

Agree to an extent. No parent wants their kids making profoundly bad decisions...like hey mom and dad, im going to try heroin. But a "bad" decision on college is different to me. It might be a mistake in the long run but I believe mistakes help shape us and develop us into better people (when handled correctly).

Like I replied a moment ago, choosing a college isn't "life changing" to me. If it is the wrong fit, he can reset his academic career somewhere else.

My definition of "life changing" is likely different than yours...and that's okay.
