Boo Carter (Status, Rumors, Updates)

[OrangeInKy]

Those of you pearl clutching over TB should turn on Eric Ainge. LOL. Hypocrites.

Right. Ainge this morning was talking about what a handful Boo was. No thread about him.

The bigger story, too me, is this is twice this year Heupel has been caught off guard by a key player. I’m sorry, but coming off the Nico thing, this is unacceptable.

Exactly right. This is a story about Boo. Not about TB for sharing what he’s heard

Can you think of a way to anticipate and/or prevent it? Short of just rolling over every time a player steps up to threaten leaving, what's your plan?

So, you're implying this is somehow Heupel's fault?

By the way, I heard Boo showed up.

I’m sorry it’s not the 90s anymore. EVERY school has this problem. Even OSU. And I guarantee you if he comes back he will threaten to leave again for more money.

How do you plan to monitor back channel contact between other schools and players, their family, agent, and in this case the new agent the player hired without telling the first one?

 

[adam.vol]

That wasn’t an unsubstantiated rumor. UT sells a significant number of tickets to brokerages. UT also just released a bunch of single game tickets.

It sounds logical. Can you point me in a direction to find out more?

How do you know he was caught off guard? Do you know the details of what has actually occurred with Boo Carter and what Heupel's actual reaction was?

 

[bpalmer28]

Here's hoping him and them team comes together and move forward. I'm so ready for the season to start.

I'm not seeing where Austin Price actually reported this. Is this fake news?

Edit: Looks like Volscoops deleted the "breaking news".

 

[bigdaddy]

Wow holy hyper text.

 

[Volpatine]

People blaming Heupel and/or Basilio (what a weird sentence to type) is wild to me.

 

[OrangeBeachVol]

Exactly right. This is a story about Boo. Not about TB for sharing what he’s heard

You wouldn't know that with this thread unless you went back about 50 pages or more.

By the way, I heard Boo showed up.

Heupel and co. did the eval on both these guys. They met and got to know both players and their families. Seem to recall some posts expressing some concern about Carter's issues off the field during his recruitment.

Every coach dances to his own tune, but Vitello won't recruit a kid if he's all about the money or his family appears problematic. Probably learned his lesson with Burns, but the buck stops with Heupel. I suspect he felt like he could guide the kid through all this and keep the families in line, but it appears that wasn't the case. Played with fire and got burned at least once. Let's see how this Carter situation unfolds going forward and how things play out with the roster and locker room.

Chris Low from ESPN reporting Boo will be on the team, and Heupel will address it today

You’d think the haters would be more mad at the people that keep leaking the information instead of the guy that shares the information. They only seem to get mad at one the people that shares information. It’s so stupid how obsessed some people are with hating Tony.

 

[OrangeInKy]

The nerve of Chris to share information.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Well, it actually has been about both. They each could benefit the program, but elect to take actions that make them liabilities. One is a sophomore the other just sophomoric. Both have their supporters and detractors.

I just glad Chris vetted the information before releasing it. Guess he cares about credibility.

 

[Volbrando]

we were told mutiple times Basilio is just making this stuff up for attention

now ESPN is too I guess lol

 

[Adam2014]

The nerve of Chris to share information.

Yeah, but he did it the RIGHT way.

 

[Volstylexx]

I think in years past, this wouldn’t have ever been an issue. It would have been handled internally. Now, fans want to escalate every situation unnecessarily on social media and we are lucky Boo has enough grit to move past the nastiness of TN fans the last few days. Props to him

if Basilio said Tennessee was wearing orange at home games this year we’d have fans saying he was making stuff up
