That's rich. I'm laughing at all of you that have such low emotional intelligence that you feel you must have immediate gratification.

What? Immediate gratification does not equate to simply not being a drama queen and waiting 3 weeks. That’s the antithesis.

I would think Heupel, and pope even, are spending little effort here. You’re not going to delay other moves or let it hang out there too long. It’s been a week. Not sure what more there is to be said. Moving on whether he’s in or out.

Heupel is the last coach that needs this drama coming off the heels of Boo and Nico.

I know it would mess up dynamics but I am petty enough that if it was me I would let him go and then throw 5 million a year at Smith just to watch OSU panic

On the Zone this morning:

“The only thing I can go off of is he had buyer’s remorse, because he was so wishy washy through the process. And it is what it is. If I’m Tennessee, I just let him go. If he wants to go to Ohio State, let him go. He’s going to be able to do whatever he wants to in the end anyway. Now, I would tell you this, to go in the portal, whether you’re 18 or not, since he went ahead and signed, you have to go to class. Well, the portal closes before Tennessee goes to class. So technically, Tennessee doesn’t have to let anybody that signs out of their deal…but I think Tennessee certainly would. Because Tennessee wants to do right by the kid. They don’t want anybody feeling like they don’t want to be here, and they’re being forced to go here. So again, I think you’re in the process right now of Tennessee talking to Legend Bey and getting all of that stuff figured out. But he’s certainly been a little bit all over the map, and I think that’s what’s resulted in this story. And then, of course, a lot of the embellishment is from certain parties to make it look like he was being held hostage when he was not.”

Austin Price said something in the recent Tim Banks impromptu video that led me to believe that the portal would not be an option for Bey (or any freshman), though it wasnt directly in reference to Bey.

Price said that players cannot enter the portal until they are enrolled and they have attended class, and Tennessee doesn't begin class for the spring semester until late January after the portal closes. I'm not saying AP is right and even he didn't sound 100% confident (I believe he said, "as I understand the rule...").

That doesn't mean Tennessee can't/won't outright release him from his LOI, which would make the portal unnecessary, but the portal, in AP's opinion and understanding, won't be an option.

We have all the leverage now that he's signed, so I'm sure we're dragging it out and hoping he calms down and comes around to the idea of staying here before cutting him loose.

at best our "leverage" ends as soon as the January portal opens.

and it would be a pretty low move to hold him here. the coaches should be making their case, its their job, but at some point if he wants out, he will get out. trying to coerce the kid is only going to burn bridges.
