Hope our recruits are not noticing how UT fans trash our players. If I were a recruiter for another SEC school I would flag this thread.
We aren't trashing anyone. We are saying that if you come in and you aren't going to compete, as evidenced by (1) not giving 100% in practice and in games, (2) posting a tweet laughing at how your very own team lost, or (3) entering your name in the transfer portal one game into the season, then we don't need or want you. In my opinion, that makes you a quitter, that you'd be willing to be contacted by other programs during the season instead of focusing on being a part of your team.
Anyone who enters the portal at this point in the season needs to go. Unless there is some unbeknownst reason that is genuine, there is very few good reasons to transfer after one game.
This team ain't family. They are out for themselves. And honestly? I think that's a result of "Butch's Guys" versus "Pruitt's Guys." And there are some guys that Butch recruited that I am thrilled to have around. Chandler, JJ, Shamburger had some great plays the other night, and others. Those guys have bought in, and they're playing hard. And some others just need to go.
So no, we aren't trashing anyone. But we are trashing the attitudes that many of these players are displaying. And if a recruit looks at that and wants to go elsewhere, then that means that they'd probably be the same way, so good riddance.
