Pruitt believes the team had a “good nine days” before arriving in Jax. Spent last two days focusing on Indiana.

Pruitt: Kingston Harris has done a nice job in move to OL. Will look at his positional fit (OL vs DL) after the game.

Pruitt: We want to finish. ... We want to send these seniors off the right way.

Jeremy Pruitt says that Brandon Kennedy will practice & then they will make a decision. -Trey Wallace-

Jeremy Pruitt says he’ll sit down with Trey Smith after the bowl game & discuss the future with him. -Trey Wallace-
Pruitt said he’s had convos with Trey Smith on his future. Nothing decided for now. Will talk again post bowl game.

Talk him into one more year, Coach!

Whatever Trey decides, he has been a tremendous Volunteer.

Seriously, what's the point of this? JG has his flaws for sure but his toughness and desire to win isn't among those flaws....

Dude is one tough Sob for sure. I would never dis his heart or toughness.

Would love to have Trey back, but if he can make a big payday, he's got to go. On the other hand, if they believe they have a treatment plan working and his draft status looks poor, come on back!

 

[Creeker]

As much as it would help to have him back I hope Trey is a consensus 1st-3rd round pick and goes and gets paid. I can see NFL teams being hesitant because of his medical history, but if it looks like he will for sure get paid then go on young man.

Only dreaming but if Trey and Kennedy both returned we would be in the top third of SEC in OL.

Pruitt looks like he wants to rip the media’s heads off during press conferences.

Trey needs to go get paid while he's had a healthy year.

 

[lewis co vol]

If trey comes back he would be best recruit this year .to get him another year

 

[TAF]

“Hey WILL! WILL!!! (Shut UP!)”

 

[TNnative]

Only dreaming but if Trey and Kennedy both returned we would be in the top third of SEC in OL.

I expect both to be back next year.

Love 73, but if he’s a high pick, he needs to go. Hard to turn down millions.

I can only imagine the frustration of having to constantly answer to the media.

It's why I don't blame Bill Belichick acting the way he does ....

 

[Smokey X]

I expect both to be back next year.

same here....

I have a bad feeling he may not be in for a big payday. Remember that any team will have to agree to him not doing a lot of live practicing.

I'm not sure how it will go over. His big payday may be playing one more year here, solidifying his legend status and opening a string of car lots or restaurants.

A man can get rich that route as well.

That said, if he can get the payday, he deserves it and should go.

 

[Pepe]

if you know he doesn't want to answer the question why do you keep asking it stupid idiot

Dude is one tough Sob for sure. I would never dis his heart or toughness.

Dang man. I think his mother passed away when he was a boy. I know it's slang, but wow.

Wow indeed...In this age of pc crap I think you are going a little too hardcore but you do you. I have faith that most would hear the compliment and I personally would have no compunction about walking up to trey and telling him “ Trey you are one tough SOB and volnation is proud of your heart and toughness”. Pretty sure there wouldn’t be a push or swing or butthurt feelings from him or anyone else. Just like if some used/said one tough MFer nobody’s first thought is you think they trying screw someone’s mom. It’s a figure of speech.
Thanks @Sara Clark and @TAF for the clips was a great listen.
