Yea pretty sure slaw ass Colton was a walk-on. Butch has to be the only SEC coach that would start someone who had proven his ineptitude at a vital position...idc if he knows exactly what play the offense is running, bc he's still gonna get toasted. If Cortez, Sapp, Elliot Berry, or Bates doesn't get the start against FL, then I gotta believe it's the money. The poor kid shouldn't even be playing D1 ball, let alone starting in the SEC...and if it's not the money, then that shows ineptitude on Butchs part bc noone can watch film on "i think I can" jumper and say he deserves to dress out. I could give my all for Tennessee, and that still doesn't mean that I would be deserving of a scholly, or God forbid, be given, bc hes done anything but earn it, ptime...even if we're up by 49 pts. I've never wished injury on a player, esp one of our own, but I'm ashamed to say that if daddys money thumper were to suffer an injury that would keep him far from the field for roughly 6 weeks, I would honestly be smiling eat to ear then watch Cortez come in and show this kid what an SEC lb looks and plays like. Of course, this is barring a spinal injury or any sort of major injury.
And since his dad is rich, why would we waste a valuable scholly on someone, who is far from SEC level talent and shouldn't even be dressing out on Saturdays, has the means to afford tuition without financial aid of any sort? Most of us can't afford school without loans or a schollie and I'd rather see his schollie be used as a freaking academic scholarship for someone in need rather than just giving this spoiled goober one just bc his daddy is a booster and the boy "just tries so hard" in practice.
Doesn't matter how hard he tries or how well he can line the defense up...he's still garbage and that can't be fixed...just like you can't fix stupid, you can't turn a d3 lb into an SEC LB. I'd rather jumper suffer an injury (poor taste I know, but so is taking a scholarship from someone more deserving and in need just to give a kid who is neither in need of nor deserving of a schollie) than see FL cb Tabor (whom I also despise but he can only hurt us for one game...meanwhile jumper is a curse we have to live w) twist his ankle. Rant over and sorry to hijack thread, but jumper has to be my least favorite UT player of all time and it pisses me off that, at least it seems this way, that pt can be bought and keep more deserving players off the field... but yea, he's right up there with taco bell foster but at least foster had talent, despite the fumbles.
Oh and clic-clac, boom! This seems like a pretty good pickup.
