That's fine. Let him be our mercenary. If he stays, 15 years from now we aren't going to give a crap and he likely won't, either. He will just be another Vol if he stays.

Exactly. We weren't Kamara's first choice either, but look how that turned out... for him AND us.

Does anyone know HT’s 40 time? He looks like in the 4.7 to 4.8 range to me.
Just wondering if he has combine numbers. He may end up staying all 4 years if not.

I can't find it now but during his recruitment by Bama where he was listed as one of their 100% guys at one point recruited by Sark personally, they had him as a solid 4.5 guy. He was also played RB at DeLasalle a national power football high school. With the talent they get there, you can't have dead feet and be in their backfield.

I agree, but I think there is a cultural difference to account for. I’ve read a lot of stories about Tua from Bama and his relationship with his father and family.

This direction is not about football per say, but personally I don't subscribe to there being a "cultural" facet to this situation. I have seen this 18 or so situation over the whole spectrum of society. If there is a dad present in a young guy's life, then there is usually some "difference of opinion" on a lot of things. For some it may never come to a big confrontation, but if the two subjects are of like personalities their are usually problems.

Anonymously attack 20 Y/O kids when he's in 60's from the safety and security of behind a monitor for the crime of having second thoughts about the Coaches that recruited him all getting axed.

No wait, that's not him, that's you.

AP said Henry is still in the transfer portal so that likely means he isn’t gonna be here.

then he needs to GTFO. There is no way he's going to go to bama in august and start at LB over 4 other 5 star LB's that were there for their spring practices.

But if he's for sure not going to be here, then he doesnt need to be here going thru our playbook and seeing our offensive schemes.

At the beginning when he entered the portal it was said he had a big interest in OSU..... nothing from them as apparently he doesn't fit their "profile" from what I have read, as well as that linebacker from USC, Paio Gaoteote. it will be interesting.

Completely agree. Get to work or get to stepping.

Is there a timeline on how long you can stay in the portal? You would think that there would be a timeline for them to make a choice. I understand the issue on Henry making a choice on what he is going to do going forward. Seems to me like he probably came back to see what the staff was really like. Is it something that he feels is going to benefit him. Sucks because you have players that stayed for the long haul and didn't put themselves first. Kind of shows me what I need to see honestly.

He may be in No Man’s Land if he is involved with the Neid’s Happy Meal Program. That would make him radioactive.

This is my educated opinion on the drop off in production by HT last season.... He was able to play fast as a freshman because Bituli was making the play calls up front, and Nigel Warrior was making calls on the back end. He was tasked with being the leader and play caller for the defense last season. He was constantly trying to get people in position before every play, and it affected his ability to play fast. If the new coaches simplify the defense, we will see a very different HT (if he stays).

Also, he had a position coach (money man) that shouldn't have been his position coach. Couldn't have helped matters.
