Cimaglia opting out

[KarnsTownVol]

Hope all is good with the kid. Hate he has to end his career this way but it may be best for both sides. If we're being honest he's not been himself as of late and we may need a field goal to win a game in the near future.

He's expected to be back next year.

Who do we have from the women’s soccer team that can try out?

Whoever she is, not only will she have to be a good kicker, but she'll have to be an inspirational speaker as well for her halftime talk.

Really? I figured he would be trying his shot at the NFL. He is a senior and graduates this year right? Im all for him coming back but honestly i dont see how it benifits him.

I would think Go VOLS would be inspirational enough. I haven't seen anything after half time that would indicate any type of inspirational talk.

Cant wait to read that Pruitt is opting out for good

He will as long as he gets the buyout.

I’m not sure based on his post.

He's expected to be back next year.

But at what school?

Girls have played and scored in college football games before so we wouldn't be the first to get scored on. Sarah Fuller was the first girl to play in a Power 5 game....that was the big deal.

I can’t believe people are dismissing this feat she accomplished!!
kicking a ball about a foot over everyone’s head for 30 yards, then running to the sideline like the raccoon that stole cat food GIF was highly impressive.

It's not that uncommon right now with Covid. Most people are isolated like they've never been in their entire life.

Lol

That crazy a$$ signature is what scares me the most.

 

[GVol1966]

lol there's one more game dude. geez.

Why even make an announcement. Just say you can’t go.

 

[MaTaLa]

What is the part about struggles within the program?? That's a powerful little tidbit to tuck into a goodbye note.

Bet a few hard swallows and choice words came about when staff read that

 

[rocketskates]

JG will take over kicking duties

Lol. Dude straight up said we suck so bad it’s not worth hurting myself.

 

[LargeOrange1]

Sounds like something bad is going on in the program

Have you seen our record, Sherlock?

 

[Noggin]

Per Pruitt’s presser today.

Who do we have from the women’s soccer team that can try out?

Cimaglia needs to stay.

 

[Noggin]

JG will take over kicking duties

Hope not. He will kick a kick six for sure.

Hope he heals from whatever physical & mental issues he is dealing with. 2020 is already tough with COVID-19 and the Vols season likely made things feel even worse.
BTW- he must have also injured the hand he usually writes with...that penmanship!

This isn't how it's supposed to work. I've asked this question before, and haven't gotten an answer but that was early on in the "Covid Crap" era and players were just taking about possibly "opting out". NOW...we have a player who has done it, so I'll ask again:
If a player chooses to "opt out" he's QUITTING THE TEAM as I see it. Does the university get to pull his scholarship and offer it to someone who is willing to play..?? This isn't a knock on Cimaglia per se, it's a real life procedural question. I'm sure there's a policy, I'd like to know what it is.

I heard on WNML this morning that Cimaglia was leaving UT and they insinuated he would play at another school next year. This came from one of the hosts so I would expect that since they're state run, they would have inside info on it. Very different than the spin put on it yesterday. This lends to the kid sees the crapfest over there and wants out.

Wow. That is a very different spin.
Edit: I hope he does well and I'm confident in a different environment, he'll get his mojo back.

That’s really bad if true.
