It has been years that nothing has really happened to Bama. Surely, there is something out there on them. I’m sure there is something on them year after year. I don’t think it’s all clean, and there has to be more and more violation news on them, especially for ten years.Doubt it. He probably chose Bama partly because he knows he is untouchable there. NCAA doesn’t touch Alabama players and he factored that in
If Michigan State were closer I’d go to some games in an orange Crouch jersey. Love that guy.Quavaris Crouch may have been the bigger loss, though, most people didn't realize it at the time. He's doing quite well at Michigan State this year. I thought we had a good shot at keeping him, but not so much. I'm rooting for him at Mich State. Not so much for that guy that went to Bama.
NCAA is smart enough to know that you don’t knowingly hobble your own Golden goose if one wishes the Golden eggs to keep appearing on the breakfast table. As a result, Tennessee and the rest of the teams continue to play the role of the Kentucky Colonels to Bamas Globetrotters. Our role is only to give the Golden Boys an opponent every Saturday. If we come close to actually winning, we WILL be put back in our place and I mean SWIFTLY.It has been years that nothing has really happened to Bama. Surely, there is something out there on them.

"Knowingly took extra benefits". If UT knows these guy took extra benefits, then it's best for the school they transferred.This was the worst kept secret of the offseason. As soon as Pruitt got fired he was gone. He only came to UT for Pruitt and whatever else he was getting. Same with Crouch, Morris, Gray. It's like rats getting off a sinking ship. It still blows my mind that players can knowingly take extra benefits and just transfer consequence free. I get that guys who maybe don't come from the best economic situations feel pressured by their family, but there needs to be some accountability. And I think the program has benefited from them leaving. The locker room chemistry was a huge issue under Pruitt. It seems like it has gotten much better very quickly after those guys left. Not saying they weren't or aren't good players, but there was def something wrong going on in that locker room last season.
He’s a good player but IMO isn’t a game changer. He’ll get drafted for sure but I don’t expect much from him in the league. He was excellent his first year till Pruitt screwed him up.
Toto’s dad never considered a return to Tennessee.Heupel says To'o To'o never seriously considered rejoining Vols
He was already gone when he arrived. I don’t think he even had a chance to convince him. He was transferring to Bama way before coach Hype came along. It’s alright, but he did shed some light on the subject. He is gone now, and it doesn’t matter, but at least we know a little with coach Hype!

Excellent points. I forget that he’s somewhat undersized. Most NFL TEs would abuse him.If he doesn't get bigger, and especially stronger, I am not sure he will get drafted.
As was mentioned, he still has problems getting off blocks from tight ends and bigger wide receivers. Bigger RBs drag him 3-4 yards regularly. He's listed on the Alabama roster at 228 lbs, which means he's probably 210-215 at most. I can only imagine what a Gronk or Kelce type TE would do to him both blocking and when HT tried to cover them. They're 3-4" taller, 30-40 lbs heavier, and still faster than him. Think about him squaring up in the hole against Derrick Henry.
But, he is playing for Alabama, which will help him greatly with his evaluation.
All that said, I agree with you that, in any case, he's not likely to make splash in the NFL.

I couldn’t agree more.Man I was out, living on my own on the other side of the country, working 2 jobs and volunteering when I was a 20 year old “kid”. We baby these “kids” like they can’t be grown adults. I’ll definitely say HT is gonna have some problems latter on in life with the helicopter dad he’s got. Just my opinion and also not my problem, but an opinion I’ve had for years at this point. The real problem is we treat kids like they’re never gonna grow up, and then we get confused when they stay children their whole entire lives. Honestly there’s more grown children, than there are adults, out in the world. An 18-21 year old isn’t a kid to me, because I wasn’t a kid then. And I know the only reason people stay kids at that age is how our society treats them. You don’t get the scene, that we got Saturday, with out a bunch of grown children in that stadium. And honestly that’s all I see in the world. A bunch of grown babies.
Geeze dude he’s a 20 year old kid.
