Boo Carter (Status, Rumors, Updates)

[TheMookieMonster]

could the football staff, coaches, players, bloggers, journalists, youtubers and fans stop being so dramatic? Could they stop running to the microphones every time they hear a juicy rumor or get mad at somebody?

How do we know that Boo didn't have a private personal situation arise that required him to take some time away? This happens a lot every year but do players get accused of gang activity every time a grandma dies or they go through a rough breakup?

The baseless rumors that have been circulating and digging up stuff from when this guy was in highschool is completely unacceptable. There is enough drama in this sport these days without people outside that building adding a healthy dose of rat poison to the mix. Tony Basilio is a piece of ****.

I don’t think Adam Sparks or Brent Hubbs risk their reputation to confirm some of the rumors about him missing practice and pissing off his teammates if it was because Boo had a family member die or his girlfriend broke up with him….that seems like wishful thinking at best.

Nah, it’s just you’re too dense to see the difference of gossip and someone correcting bs that people continue to throw out and pass it off as facts. Nice try at ‘your gotcha’ moment

 

[Vol865]

And this is why it is careless and potentially harmful to the program or the player when someone who has an audience runs with a rumor and makes it a story before getting all of the facts. Better to be accurate than first

Nah dont use logic in here. Not allowed.

I'm really starting to lose my passion for this sport

I'm willing to bet Boo is gone and at this point so be it. Lets move the hell on

Practice hasn't started. If anything he missed team meetings, which makes all this ridiculous if that's all it is. Suspend him the first half or the whole first game and move on.

Deion was crying about tampering with players, yet it’s looking like he’s been doing the exact same thing with Boo.

Such a clown.

Well Hell, This is exhausting

If this ends the way it appears it will, I will be grateful. I recall vividly how excited we all were about our receiving corps in 2012 and then Da'rick couldn't lay off the Mary Jane and got kicked off the team. I wonder if that would even get you kicked off today? Anyway, this is a much better result than that one should things work out. And we all hope Boo took accountability and learned from this. No guarantees though.

Vol Scoops has since deleted this post I believe.

I am not certain but I believe there is a difference to Boo if he is dismissed from his scholarship at Tennessee & if he just quits. If Tennessee dismisses him, he may be free to sign a scholarship. If he quits, I believe he has to walk on. Tennessee is probably drawing this out as long as they can & Boo &Co wants them to call it now. I’d suspect if Boo is offered a way back it involves some game suspensions & loss of money, both of which he probably won’t accept.

I’m not completely buying the story Carter reallywants to come back, just wants Tennessee to make the call. Jmo.

LMAO I remember those days

Well you're here gossiping just like the rest of the " little old ladies" it seems ..

“Gossiping” is what old ladies do. Fighting and cussing people out on volnation.com for days is what tough guy alpha male high level athletes do.

Yep. It’s obviously true that he went MIA and missed a bunch of meetings and workouts. That’s not even debatable at this point after their reporting. It’s just a matter of how bad it got and if it reached the point of no return.

 

[volfan411]

He demanded last winter to play offense then skips all the summer workouts with a new QB to work on timing and establish a bond so I would say yes practice or not this is a big deal. The question now is CJH going to let him play offense and if he doesn’t does he get mad and quit on us.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

^^^This^^^.....You can blame players and agents but the NCAA's lack of foresight made this happen....if you lose 9-0 in the Supreme Court, whatever your arguments may have been were pretty worthless....

What they should have done to begin with is agree to pay each player a reasonable "living" wage up front and put the rest in a trust that each player could collect upon graduation or after 3 years when they declared for the NFL draft. This whole idea of handing over 18-21 year olds 6 or 7 figure upfront payouts just to come to the school was idiotic!

Again, you are making assumptions. You don't know what he missed. For all we know it was 1 team meeting. He didn't miss any spring practice that I know of.

So maybe, just maybe, one of these Vol dramas might turn out good for a change.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Callahan on 247 tonight sounded much less optimistic things would work out with Boo.

Adam Sparks reported it as:

"Knox News has learned that Carter missed numerous team activities, and he was confronted by team leaders because of his absence."

But I'm sure he just makes stuff up all the time.

So he should be kicked off the team for missing "activities." Not a game, not practice. And we don't know his reason for missing or any details. Like I said, if that's all this is, give him his ass chewing, suspend him the first game if necessary, and we move on. You don't kick one of your best players off the team for missing "activities." We've had kids engage in criminal activity and keep their spot.

Who said Boo is one of our best players?

He should be dealt with the way Coach Heupel and the team see fit and what is best for the locker room.

I appreciate your input but I'll roll with whatever Coach Heupel and the team have seen, not heard as rumors, and decide is appropriate. They may have done the ass chewing already and perhaps it took, perhaps it didn't.

I suspect, however, that ass chewing situations for missing a meeting or two or whatever are not the kind of thing that hits the rumor mill and stays there for a week, but what do you think?

I'm sure we don't hear of every kid who screws up, disrespects the team a time or two, or whatever because those things happen and are dealt with and never leave the building.

This feels different doesn't it?
