Boo Carter rumors from Basilio

[CAVPUT]

Sounds like Boo can’t get rid of the Colorado itch. Heupel has been dealing with this aIl along. If that’s where he wants to be, by all means, go there. Money is the only thing that keeps him here it appears. Screw that.

This is now a real job with pay, obligations & expectations. Imagine taking off work for days, unexplained or unexcused. Many of us wouldn’t have a job when we returned.

Yep. Time to Nico him and focus on the guys who are about this team, program and season. Another case of addition by subtraction. One thing is certain. After Nico and perhaps Carter, Heupel needs to take a long, hard look at his recruiting eval process and make sure to really factor in family and history. This is getting silly.

There are 105 guys on the roster. You're never going to have one made up of 100% team first guys, especially in an era where guys can get paid within the rules and transfer without having to sit out.

Personally that seems like a good indication to me that the player's council evidently wants Heupel to do something about Boo.

SIAP. I thought this was interesting to see a coach actually admit what is probably going on to some extent in every locker room. A huge headache for college coaches that I think will only get worse until players have contracts to help limit some of these type problems, and hold them more accountable for their actions.

Exactly. You’re Mr. Football Tennessee, you play football at the University of Tennessee, have had extra accommodations made in order to showcase your talents in all 3 phases, negotiated a new NIL deal in the offseason, etc etc… if you want to be a part of that circus in Boulder GTFO . Enjoy going 6-6 and playing in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forced Bowl. He might get his jersey retired though . That bar is pretty low

Boo seems to have developed an idea that he’s the next Travis Hunter. Talented guy but he ain’t Hunter. If he’s going to cause issues on the team, he’s not worth it. Sounds like a good fit for the Colorado circus.

 

[MissionRidgeVol]

I like the player’s council. I am sure most teams have them, but Heupel has given a good amount of power to them. Mature players maintaining the culture and driving grass roots accountability. A lighter version of the “bar of soap in a towel” scene from Full Metal Jacket.

Go ahead and hold your breath while you wait for that to happen. It'll be hilarious.

 

[Majors]

Nobody should be surprised by anything related to Boo and school. It was a red flag before he arrived here on how many schools he went to in HS. Mom chirping about gangs on social media doesn’t help his image.

You should never, ever, under any conditions, be happy or smug or appreciative that bad things are happening to lads in the Vols program.

Get your "I told you so" joy elsewhere, please.

Go Vols!

(and I'm not even one of those people you were targeting...just want you not to find pleasure in program hardship)

^^^^^^^^this.

Every word of this. This gentleman speaks facts.

This stuff was out there days before Basilio mentioned it.

 

[bigdaddy]

Seriously?

It sounds like he went to California (Colorado?) without permission, missed multiple meetings and team workouts, and pissed his teammates off. It's a significant issue. Practice starts in a week. These players aren't just free to take off whenever they want.

Especially when he wanted to play both ways. He should be living in the training room.

 

[Adam2014]

Honestly, I am still confused by AP's quote on whether he went to California or Colorado

You're dealing with morons on the internet - never admitting fault, mistakes, or being wrong about anything is part of their entire existence and identity.

 

[Adam2014]

My two cents on Basilio... When something big is going down his show is always worth a listen because he takes calls from the public. AI will never be able to reproduce that content.

Starting to look like Sanders putting the press on him to come there. I agree if his background is as reported that would be a good fit for him. Sanders is pretty loose with his players I understand.

Why? He still hijacked information off of a website and passed it off as his own and referred to a VQ poster as 'sources'. But carry on being Basilio meat riders

 

[CINCYVOL]

Some folks here clearly don't associate with folks other than folks like them. Y'all need to get out more.

AND I know people from elsewhere in the US who would think my use of "folks" and "y'all" means I'm an illiterate hillbilly. I'm not. I just talk like a Southern white guy of a certain age.

Past that, and ignoring his Mom's rant, I saw a rumor in the RF discussion that Boo "hasn't met the obligations of a team member" or something like that. Perhaps Boo has seen or been in the "informal practice" and isn't comfortable with what he's seeing?

Maybe this comes so late because Boo didn't see actions in the portal he liked, gave the new guys a look, and isn't buying in?

F$ck Boo. The program doesn’t revolve around him. He got a good amount of money in the offseason. I don’t care what Boo thinks or feels, his job is to win football games. If he isn’t committed to that he can GTFO.

He said that these are rumors. He also said he didn’t believe any of the gang stuff was legit. He did say he had heard from a source that Boo wasn’t really all in with his dedication to the program.

So glad we're being rational and not jumping to conclusions

If what you got from my post was I "find pleasure in program hardship" maybe you should lighten up a bit Francis..

Yep. Time to Nico him and focus on the guys who are about this team, program and season. Another case of addition by subtraction. One thing is certain. After Nico and perhaps Carter, Heupel needs to take a long, hard look at his recruiting eval process and make sure to really factor in family and history. This is getting silly.

How were the coaches supposed to know that signing a QB who became popular by practicing in pajama pants was a bad idea? Attempting to participate in a summer camp at UT with his sunglasses on was totally normal. Not a sign that he thought he was above everyone else at all.
