Anyone else hear Basilio & John Brice talking Tiyon Evans

[brockytop]

testing positive for Covid?

IMO that would be a huge blow if he can’t play Saturday. Kid is a damn good running back and one of TN’s greatest weapons.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Need to get used to this happening.

That may cost us the game. Dee beckenwith come on down

It is interesting that Heupel mentioned that he expected Jaylen Wright to have a big game. But that was on Monday! hmm..

I’d say you’re right about that.

If true, if he’s been vaccinated he could still play with a negative test. If unvaccinated, to be held out at least 10 days. Believe that’s what they said, anyw.

 

[Catbone]

It's real, and he's out Saturday.

 

[chuckb1448]

Keerappppp!!

 

[Rootyvol1998]

Man I hate to hear this. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Good thing we have a room full. Need the pass protection from them this week

 

[UTVols18]

I’ve been hanging out with Dee a little bit. He legit looks like Derrick Henry, I would love to see him ball out this weekend he looks the part.

 

[mitzustu]

Dang it. Would kill us if this is wide spread. Wonder if he was a close contact with Milton…. I kid, I kid

Those are SEC rules. The problem is Knox County Health Department has placed MUCH STRICTER quarantine protocols than SEC or NCAA. It was a definite problem and issue at Tenn last year as other schools got players back, (and Coaches, Saban) after 2 negative tests but UT had to wait full 10 days, even if you tested negative after being exposed.
Not a level field if that policy by KCHD hasnt changed.

Apparently GA is dealing with a covid outbreak now to. As a poster above said, this may be more common than we would like. Will definitely hurt some but others have to step up.

Probably a stupid question here, but what authority does KCHD have to enforce it?

UGA has a potentially bad situation. Without getting too specific - they've got a couple of positives that had ultra high access to the building and were in contact with a ton of players.

I’d love to see him get on the field and have some opportunities. Hoping he sticks around and he can have a bigger role in the offense.

I wouldn't tell them a damn thing, nor request their approval.

 

[SpringBokVol]

THe backfield is loaded - not worried about 1 guy missing.

I am concerned if the entire room get's positive tests or contact tracing, etc.

 

[VoLBall86]

What's the source? There's been zero public announcement on this that I've been able to find other than people saying 'so and so heard/said it". Let's pump the brakes on the rumor's until we get verified info. I hope it's not true obviously. I have enough unnecessary stress in my life already lol

I wondered what that was about...now we know. Hopefully COVID doesn’t spread through the RB room.

Good info. Had no idea this is the case.

He’s like 6th on the depth chart. They played a guy I’d never heard of ahead of him.
