If you cant handle the heat... Get out of the kitchen. If he doesn't like having to compete for his job how is he going to handle competing on Saturday?
So youre ok if he leaves to go home for a few days to visit his home, parents, siblings, friends. Is it ok with you that he comes back to Knoxville and go to school and play football when hes done visiting his hometown or nah?
And how in Gods name is it whining to say he misses his hometown?
Yea some stuff gets blown way out of proportion on here. Although I have been to New Jersey and not sure why anyone could miss that state lol..But it's his home.
Two totally different deals imho. In hindsight, as has been reported, the Kongbo situation was real, and Jones and company had to come up with the FIFA excuse after persuading Kongbo to not leave the program. Another deal by Lyle of making promises to a player that he couldnt/wouldnt keep.....Kongbo was promised hed play DE, got moved to DT out of necessity, didnt like playing DT, was ready to leave, sent out the tweet...
Perhaps theres more to the JG deal and one day well hear something similar to the Kongbo deal after the fact. But right now all we got is a tweet from a Jersey kid who hasnt been home since last Christmas. Not sure how/why people equate the two at this point, other than a whole lotta fans heap a whole lotta dislike on Tennessee QBs not named Manning, and even he got a handful of it when he was a freshman and for not beating Florida.....and as weve already seen with JG, people are chomping at the bit to crush this kid
Some people share every passing thought on social media. Therefore, reading into every post of 18-22 year olds and trying to draw reasonable conclusions is futile. Whatever happens, happens.
In a season or two, players are going to flock to UT cuz we gon' be rollin!
