Clearly the kid has no desire or want to be at Tennessee just release him from his NLI or just let him enter the portal in a few weeks

Because he doesn’t want to be here at all .

He pretty much made that clear when he flipped to Ohio State when he commented about it

Yep. Legend is a gentleman and a scholar. He has my upmost respect.

Anyone tracking all the drama with Legend Bey?

If it’s true that his family pushed him and he did not want to come to UT. I’d honestly prefer him to go to Ohio State and avoid another Boo Carter situation.

I don’t think his mom is ratchet like Boo, but if a kid’s heart really isn’t into going to Tennessee, I think it’s a bad look on the university unless they release him and let him go where he wants.

Plus, if a kid doesn’t really want to be here, why have that in the locker room.

Have OSU buy his NIL contract/angreement out with interest. If he doesn’t want to be here use him as an example for the rest of college sports.

He can go into the portal in a few weeks but the headlines and his name will be attached to a school collective holding a player accountable.

This is the other end of parental spectrum compared to Boo / Nico. Instead of the parent pushing the kid away from UT, the parent (a-parent-ly) is pushing to UT. Neither is ideal. The parents in the situations are too involved. Too meddlesome. I would really like to see Bey at UT. But where he attends should be his decision.

Depends on the kid. Some kids can't make good decisions at this age so their parents should most definitely be involved.

Parents of 17 year olds should be evolved in life changing decisions. At this point everything is speculation, if he asks for a release, I'm sure he gets one and our roster will not be ruined.

Agree to an extent. No parent wants their kids making profoundly bad decisions...like hey mom and dad, im going to try heroin. But a "bad" decision on college is different to me. It might be a mistake in the long run but I believe mistakes help shape us and develop us into better people (when handled correctly).

Like I replied a moment ago, choosing a college isn't "life changing" to me. If it is the wrong fit, he can reset his academic career somewhere else.

My definition of "life changing" is likely different than yours...and that's okay.

You said "meddlesome". That's what I was addressing. Good parents aren't meddlesome.

If they are footing the bill, then yes. My kid wanted to go to a certain school and tuition was going to be about 30k a year. UT offered a full ride. I said if she wanted to take out loans and enter life $120k in debt, she had my blessing. If she went to UT we’d pay her rent and basic expenses. She chose wisely.

If she’d gotten a full ride at the $30k option, it would have been 100% her call.

If any of this is true then how do you as a head coach allow this kid to sign knowing he doesn't want to come play for you? This is worse than being Boo 2.0 because this kid made it well known that after he flirted with UT all summer, he intended to go to OSU. But because momma wasn't happy with it and forced him to sign with UT, Heupel just went along with it?!?!? As a head coach, he's got an obligation to protect his players, staff, and the university from this kind of BS and tell this kid AND HIS MOTHER, no thanks...if you're not fully invested in being here, we don't need you nor do we want you. First Nico and big Nic, then Boo and his momma, and now this fiasco. Heupel continues to not learn a damn thing from his mistakes on and off the field and that should be eye opening for some of you. He just can't help but have drama surrounding this program. If the intent was to get the signing class rank boosted so you can have some sort of bragging rights, I think that's the wrong approach. The fallout and negative headlines this is bound to blow up into isn't worth the temporary boost in class ranking and it's 1000% on Josh Heupel. He owns this. Again, if any of what's being said is true, then this kid should be gone already. Call a press conference, wish him well wherever he ends up and cut this cancer out of the program immediately.

For all of you who thought it was a great idea to hand over millions of dollars to teenagers who's brains haven't fully developed yet (and their money hungry parents).....welcome to the chaos you asked for. It's going to get much worse before it gets better.
