No they don’t.

They (the coaches) need to make their expectations clear, hold them accountable in practice, let the other players get in their ears, and let them decide. If after this they (the players) don’t demonstrate that they want to be here, THEN they show them the door.

Honest to God, 90% of the time the FF sounds like Christmas afternoon when all the kids didn’t get their ponies.

Most likely he has been advised to wait on a possible NCAA One Time Transfer rule.

That’s BS. The university should give both an ultimatum. Either get locked in or your scholarship is pulled.

This is what I’ve heard as well from multiple Tennessee talk shows etc. That HT is waiting on the SEC to rule on the one time transfer rule. And with news that the SEC is going to rule on sitting out a year for inter conference transfers. HT is now taking a visit to Ohio.

Well they are both missing spring practice, not learning the new terminology and new defense, so they are going to be behind if they do decide to come back, which I doubt that they do. Also haven't been going through the conditioning drills, and at the pace that the offense and defense are practicing/playing, they are going to be behind on that also. They need to either get in here sooner than later or move on. No time for prima-donna's. From the lack of coaching under the last coaching staff, they and every other player on the roster need all the practice they can get. Either get with the program or move on.

I don’t know who or whom is advising HT and Q, but they are missing Spring Practice for they team they are transferring to. IMHO, missing spring practice is going to cost them another year in college regardless of what the NCAA or SEC decide on the one time transfer. At this point, I don’t see any scenario where either HT or Q remain with the Vols.

To me if he truly wanted to be here then he would be involved with the team. He is not, so looks evident his heart is not in Vols now. Just wish him the best, this is a rebuilding year and great time for anyone that does not want to 100% be here should go.
It is called life, a Preacher leaves for another church sometimes the church splits, sometimes the church improves, it is up to who remain to rebuild it and grow.
A wife wants to go “into the portal“ and play around with other men and leaves looking for happiness, but does not find it and wants to come home, tell her she has been replaced with a younger hotter upgrade.

If anyone has the problem of entitlement, it’s us fans. We only care about these people as long as they play well for our team. We do zero for them, but expect them to fulfill all our sports fantasies. If they don’t fulfill our every expectation, we want them punished. Get over yourselves.

ummmm, we pay their scholarships, spend thousands a year on merchandise, travel, food/bev, and more. if expecting even somewhat of an ROI is being entitled, then sure.

I think both players have made their intentions perfectly clear by not participating in Spring practice. I was hopeful they would at least give the new staff a try, but they didn’t. Why on earth some of you think they’ll magically show up this Fall amazes me.

And you’re the type of guy who gets dumped, but still follows your ex around like a lost little puppy just hoping and praying she’ll come back to you. MOVE ON. Neither one of them want to be here, if they did they would be practicing right now.

Yeah. They have completely told UT and all the fans (through actions) to go pound sand. So why again does anyone think you want them on our team anymore? Based on not participating in spring drills; I would tell them they should just leave. And soon.

Lol he wouldn’t sniff the top 3 of bama’s LB group. Prob why he’s interested in osu all of a sudden.

It is written that OSU would be a perfect spot for him as their entire LB starters have graduated and they need experience...... even though the back-ups are highly rated. Yea, I think this would be a more beneficial spot for him if he does transfer.

Oh give me a break. Enough with this victim mentality. D1 players aren't victims of anything. They are among the most privileged people in the country. Of course we care more about players for the team we cheer for. We're FANS, not the players' parents. By pursuing a pro football career he is pursuing a career in entertainment. Pro players get paid big because the fans pay big to be entertained. It's not our job to coddle them. Our role is simply cheering for our team. If Henry T wanted to play the game for a less passionate fanbase he could've stayed in Hawaii and done that.

Why? Because it aggravates you? Because you've grown impatient waiting for their decision?

If they come back, they do. If they go elsewhere then so be it. As long as the coaches and present players are focused where they should be... these guys can take as much time as they like figuring things out. The fact that they are getting behind and that someone else might be stepping up into an opportunity is on them.

I would love nothing more than for them to come back as 2s on the depth chart.

Here's where I'm at with this drama queen. If he decides to stay at this point, he's on the bench. Maybe use him on special teams a time or two.
Just get out, your a distraction to the team and another connection to cornbread

He’s also missing any team he transfers to entire spring practice.... he’ll never scratch their starting lineup.
