Lawless not on campus, future uncertain

Maybe Vanderbilt has silently anchored him. Maybe Saban silver-tongued him. Maybe he wanted a hug from Pruitt and Fulmer told Jeremy not to do it. Maybe he's upset because the local Subway didn't put sixteen slices of balogna on his sandwich. Maybe on the way here he missed the Knoxville exit ramp and ended up at Meyer's office. Maybe he was abducted by the Zeta Reticulums. Maybe he went to Hawaii to test his ability to swim in lava. Or maybe he got trapped by a carnivorous orange. All things are possible. Nothing is impossible, Therefore, it's possible for something to be impossible.


I just love helping people!

Maybe he failed a drug test. He should have studied for it.

Doesn't sound right. Someone knows and he should probably make the effort to find out

That kind of answer sounds even worse. Seems like he may be dodging an embarrassing answer etc. SEEMS like. I have no idea.

Hopefully he makes it in.

I have a hard time believing he doesn't know what the issue is. It has to be something that recently went down off the field or the coaches would not have signed him. I don't think it is grades because typically we know well in advance if grades could be an issue for a player. My guess is that something occurred that he doesn't want getting out because it could hurt potentially hurt his chances of getting an opportunity elsewhere. Hope he ends up in Knoxville, but the fact that he isn't enrolling this summer makes it unlikely that he will enroll at all. Not trying to throw shade at the kid. Just trying to put the puzzle pieces together.

Good grief, he was embarrassed by the answer and is a kid. He answered the best he could without personal details given the circumstances.

Cut him some slack and wish him luck in being able to handle his business.
Edit: And grades were mentioned as a concern during his recruitment, nothing scandalous.

Anything resulting in an arrest would probably have slipped out by now, so I don't think it is anything like that.

He probably knows but doesn't want to disclose it. I think of several things and they are all bad such as fraudulent SAT test/grades.

Of course, it could just be a paperwork snafu.

Hopefully it gets cleared up pronto. We desperately need this guy and JJ Peterson on Campus STAT.

"Not everyone's existence and experiences are the same. In fact, they are often vastly different in the same country, state, community, or even family."

Every person on this planet should really take that quote to heart, and at least try to understand what it means.

Hard to believe Nashville Christian, where Bituli graduated, being a private school, could not find a way to get this young man academically ready IF that becomes the issue. I hope that's not the case for the school and the young man's sake. If he can't be motivated to do it in high school, hard to see how he puts it together on The Hill. I'm pulling for him.

You grow up in a culture where half the males in your life are incarcerated or missing altogether and where getting good grades means you're selling out and see how easy it is. That’s the reality of the environments many of these recruits come from.

Plenty of guys who come from that exact same situation you mention, or even worse, manage to do decent enough. And lets be honest here, we are talking about an athletic scholarship, not academic. I am not saying making honor role. I am talking about making just good enough to get into a decent school.

I remember a story my dad told me about a recruit in Chattanooga. My dad was in the Chattanooga Big Orange Club and they would talk a lot about recruiting. This kid was really a stud but supposedly “you could multiply his 3 ACT scores together and he wouldn’t have had a passing score”. This would say the kid probably never had anything over a 4.

Sad if that was anywhere close to true.

But he went to junior college and ended up at Oklahoma a couple years later.
