Tennessee Spring Practice Updates 4.2.19

Would love to see him be healthy and if he can play that’s a bonus. Seems like a great kid.

A post that shows regard for the man first and foremost instead of the man as a player given his medical condition.

I think at this point and time and with so much negative press that has occurred with players not being cared for properly (ala Maryland), if doctors weren’t a hundred percent confident that he wasnt healthy to be out there, he wouldn’t be. His condition is definitely one you can’t take lightly.

His condition could be fixed already for all we know. No one knows exactly what his condition was but it wasn’t hereditary. It developed over time. Yes it was clotting but no one knows what was causing the clots and if the doctors found a way to fix whatever was causing the clotting issue. He went to a specialist to fix the issue.

I agree with you if he wasn’t cleared to some degree he wouldn’t be out there even in light contact. No university is willing to risk that.

Unless you're a physician, and have personally examined Trey and his records, you just like me this morning, have not a clue what his condition actually is, and what treatments he has undergone and may be undergoing.

No D4H. You forgot to compare him as the next Champ Bailey. Get that corrected and you're on the right path.

Dude, Champ Bailey! I know he's a dawg, but that guy was so good.

Or unless you slept at a Holiday Inn last night as I did.

Don't flip Byrd too hastily.

Will have to get back to that in November ... but obviously this is it

 

[TAD]

Its Trey Smith's life but Im just afraid for him .. hope his Dr's have given good advice and are faily confident .... but I understand its ultimately the young man and his family that have to make that decision ... praying for you Trey ..God Bless !!

 

[VOLFan65]

Pruitt indicated last week that Tennessee hasn’t filed the appeals as of yet.

I don't really know about the process. It may be quick and simple and not a big deal...

But is there a reason we are still waiting to file the appeals when other schools have already done theirs and got them approved? Just seems kind of odd.

 

[The Artful Dodger]

Obviously I could be wrong, but IMO he wouldn't be in any contact drills if he weren't already cleared. I'm not sure anyone is arguing that he will play the whole year next year BTW.

I think he was trying to say that he doesn't think Smith will play at all this season, not that he won't play the entire season.

No. Because unlike some fans who look for opportunity to give up on players, Tyler Byrd stayed with the team despite the flyblown, hot pile of doo-doo the program experienced in his time here. GBO!

The NCAA works at their own pace. It could be tomorrow or 2 weeks before the season starts before we know

Always amazing how VOLNATION can gloss over the one thing that is awesome so far this year, minimal injuries thus far!!!! This S&C program is gettin it done!!!!!!

He has been a bust in terms of potential but that doesn't mean he isn't a Vol/VFL. Sometimes, players don't pan out, no matter the s. It's the nature of the game and it's a shame that fans hate on players that don't reach expectations, especially those that have the injury bug.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Calbert is up to 330 at 6'5? Dang Fitz is earning that paycheck it seems like.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Smith is going to play isn't he. I really didn't think he would be able to,but it sure seems like he is. This young man is special

Still highly doubtful. In all honesty, I hope he retires and focuses on his education. Football isnt everything.

Since you have decided to make medical predictions, care to identify where you graduated from medical school and in what state(s) you are licensed today? If you went to university, did you not grasp the concepts of critical thinking and fallacies at all?

His experience of Football can be "everything" in terms of life style and career.

He has the talent in football to earn 10s of Millions of dollars if he is able to get internally healthy. He must exhaust ALL options before he moves on . He can't just give up...

He can put his family an a special trajectory most families will never have the chance to accomplish.

I hear what you're saying. And life>football. I agree, but Trey is of the rare percentile of folks who can actually get rich doing something they love. The coach's are aware of his situation. So I'm positive they are very familiar with his treatment and such...

Let's let it play out.

 

[KeyVol14]

If trey was still on any protocol he wouldn’t be out there going through contact drills.

Ask all the questions you want. But if you dont understand the dangers associated with reoccurring blood clots in the lungs, then there is little hope for you in this respect.

I'm expecting Byrd to have a break-out season under a new offensive staff. " nothing succeeds like persistence". There's a reason he was a 4 star prospect in South Florida. Wishing him the best!
