Shawn Shamburger has entered portal (but now backed out)

[volsrock09]

So I wonder if he's still got a scholarship at UT bc that's the risk of entering your name to transfer. The previous school can choose to take the scholarship away, but I wonder how that actually works. I'd be surprised to see him get anymore PT.

What the NCAA Transfer Portal Is... and What It Isn’t

Interesting stuff here for whomever is curious.

If he removed his name, a coach probably convinced him to remove it and recruited him back. I doubt he would remove his name and pay for school himself.

Pruitt has to be gone.

 

[wmcovol]

AND...he’s withdrawn it. SOMETHING changed.

No. Nothings changed. It’s still same ole Tennessee.

Steele talked him outta it.

 

[GMRobbins]

Man, this same ol' song and dance from the players speaks volumes. Has there been any exit interviews as to their reasons why? To me, it's expectations. Expectations on how well the team will be, how well a players has confidence in their coaches, or how well the overall administrative attitude seems to be?? Whatever it is, it does not bode well for the future.

He pulled his name out of the transfer portal.

If he can stay healthy and out of the dog house, then he's an asset to the defense. He was playing really well the back half of the 2019 season.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Just heard

He back!

 

[tennesseeduke]

It just means more.

😂😂😂

 

[tennesseeduke]

Good luck to Shamburger in his future endeavors.

As DB for UT

OK... So, he goes into the portal with Pruitt as the HC and decides to take his name OUT of the portal with Pruitt still the HC. Makes ALL the sense in the world. If Steele convinced him to stay, it says a lot about the "authority"; or lack thereof, Pruitt will have moving forward. Again... Bringing him back (which I believe they will do) is the MOST idiotic thing that an administration could do at this point. RIDICULOUS.

It is obvious that Shamburger got some inside info that the investigation is a non starter and Pruitt is safe. Bet he is swearing off VN.

But what about Wanya?

Hey That director of governance might make a decent fullback!

She did before the position became obsolete, I'm sure!

the TE gave the it interview, said not everyone on team is committed to excellence, some are just happy to be there, run through the T, and get the free education. I miss the football factory days.

glad he is back

That is a total fabrication. Amusing, but sad...

 

[YankeeVol]

But what about Wanya?

His financial add has been canceled, so...

 

[Bigorange123]

Think he’s still gone

 

[rocytop2624]

He is back.

 

[Fatman Photos]

He removed his name because he hasn't graduated and as a non graduate he would have to sit out a year.

Not anymore

 

[overseasorange2]

We currently have the most in the SEC. I'm not sure about teams from other conferences.

So you are saying we are #1 in something...

 

[Fatman Photos]

Not anymore

He would have to until the new rule is officially passed which it hasn't as of yet, but it will be later this year I think.

Wouldn't it be nuts if the NCAA tabled the one time free transfer rule. Chaos!
