Tyus Fields enters the portal

This thread is funny for all the reasons I love Volnation.
As far as Tyus Fields. Meh, I probably don't care, but if he played CB we might miss him at some point this year. However, that's 1 scholarship open is how I see it.
As far as jj (not JJ the man, the myth), he got some p.t., but he waa definitely a bust. And I remember us "stealing" him from UGA. That was a good spin job at the time.

I remember when we got Fields. I really thought he was gonna be a good DB.

A profoundly positive, professional, and dignified farewell posting. Best of luck to the young man going forward.

I know every team has busts but it seems like we have had more than our fair share of them.

Classy young man .. good luck

Wow. Impressive farewell. If his play was as good as his heartfelt writing, he'd already have been drafted.

What position does this kid play? I remember the name but that’s about it.

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

Best of luck to you young man.

Thanks for your time as a VFL.

VFL...GBO!!!

Although I hate losing players to transfer... I'll never be mad at a young man that has put in the work to graduate and just decides to move on. Good job on the degree and best of luck, young man!!

Oh man I totally thought you were talking about JJ Peterson being the best recruit that Jeremy Gump got us!! I totally agree Jennings was the best player during the Pruitt era and one of my favorite Vols of all time hands down. Alonte was a absolute dog too and bled orange! Can’t stand it when I see people trash him for laying out of the bowl game to rehab a injury and get paid. He was the definition of a leader and team player and stayed during the worst time to ever be a volunteer and did not pack his bags at the first sign of trouble.

I said best not highest ranked. JJ was a dog its showing up in the NFL also.
