I hope this fool is right

So Washington isn't going to let the player out of his contract. Cool. Now watch what happens on the field. Talking about stinking up the joint and when you say Bench him it even gets more hilarious. He will get his NIL money either playing or standing on sidelines with a clipboard in his hand...

What you're suggesting would tank any NFL dreams he has.

 

[DD4ME]

Should we expect Leavitt to commit before he leaves if he’s going to come here?

Lol given his current MO no - Miami was next right?

Leavitt

 

[Volpatine]

Exactly. But if I’m Tennessee’s coaches I’d give my pitch and I’d tell him that we need a commit today or we are moving on…

 

[DD4ME]

Hahahahaha

 

[DD4ME]

Leavitt

IMO White

After all the fire and smoke clears, I would love to see a position by position grade for a) the one who left and b) the one replacing the one who left. Those that left did not get a lot done if you are grading by Playoffs or Bowl Wins. The Florida win was a meh given how far they have fallen. With the bowl results in, we have a lot of work to do to get anywhere near a Championship/Playoff spot in 2026/2027. I will keep hoping and praying for another Championship on Rocky Top. I lived for the 1998 and the Baseball Champs. Not many years left for another Baseball, Footbal,l or Basketball Champ. Go Vols VFL!

At this point, I’m feeling like McIntyre and Brandon may both get their shot next year. May add Alonza Barnett just to keep things interesting.

There was some hope about Simpson until yesterday afternoon. Even if Joey wins, there is some concern he'll ask more than his value given the market. Today we seemed to have switched to an aggressive pursuit of someone besides those two. I don't know if new targets will emerge from new entries.

Someone being Leavitt?

Who says he will go to NFL within the next 2 seasons, he can do like the rest of the players and ask for another year... And show out on the field.It's the way of the land now...

Too obvious or he would’ve said it

 

[Weezer]

Can we court Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos as boosters? Send them some free Tennessee swag and tell them they now belong to us.

That was my thoughts as well. But curious to see if he’d clarify.

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Holy Chit

Good. I hope they succeed and make him stay. Would probably be a tough locker room situation, but it would hopefully set a precedent that other schools would aggressively follow.

Do you really want the DOGE anywhere near our football program? I’m good.

same... this would I think then require contacts from the players to do X for their $

Hopefully more than 1 with all of visitors they have.

 

[Weezer]

A billionaire booster could bribe the judge to give Joey his extra year. We really need some of those.

 

[NoVAVol93]

Buyout. Interesting.

Make LSU pay for another buyout haha

Barnett is not an option

 

[BbwVol]

Hopefully more than 1 with all of visitors they have.

Reading the T leaves but probably Gillian

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Well considering Ty was an Alabama player (and also just announced) and Joey currently has no eligibility unless a court changes that. Neither are options.

I get Ty, JA deal isnt done yet.
