Butch Jones also put a stop to signing athletes that can compete at a championship level. If you recruit hulks, you will inevitably get hulk behavior. It's just a matter of keeping control of your program.

I thought it was more his coaching that was the issue, and we had/have plenty of talent.

 

[LA Vol]

With Peterson, we'll be at 85.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Nick Saban is a type A personality with total control over his program and he couldn’t handle him but you want us during a rebuild to “ take a chance “ on this guy ? Ummmm just .. No

Yep. We need players.

 

[0nelilreb]

Yep. We need players.

Nope ... not the rejects that Saban can’t control long enough for them to play we don’t .

I'm just foolin'. I know there is no way the staff looks at this kid.

Oh I wasn't being sarcastic. I just don't care one way or the other.

This player is a hard pass. It would be only a matter of time before we hear about him knocking out some frat kid at Cool Beans because he looked at him the wrong way. I'm all for second chances, but this kid needs to go the Juco route and prove he's worthy of being a collegiate athlete.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I'll be that guy. If he can ball out, sign him up. If he acts up, boot him.

Nope

I don’t need a kick to the nads to know it’s gonna hurt.

 

[quadlee21]

Basilio says he is hearing that "Tennessee is kicking the tires here "


take that for what its worth .

 

[Vols_74]

I would give the kid a chance knowing that it’s his last chance. Maybe make him redshirt this year to get things together. Also I would expect that he would give his all for Tennessee especially against Alabama.

 

[Volunteer Boy]

How many Inside backers have we had that are 6'4"and 236# and the # 4 inside backer in the country coming out of high school . And he was actually recruited by Pruitt to sign with Bama .

 

[butchna]

Weird. Well I still wouldn't want to waste a spot in the 85 which can also limit the class size.

Not really. We have a number of seniors and graduate transfers...there’s room. If you don’t want him because he’s a bad apple? Go with that...numbers are fine.

 

[butchna]

Nope

Thought Thai’s were into that Zen discipline thing...and crotch kicked on purpose? inch:

Prototypical-sized LB for Pruitt.

VanDarius Cowan, Alabama, Outside Linebacker

Did he get into some of that trouble during or after Pruitt's tenure there? I'm a bit curious how CJP handles these kinds of incidents (i.e., keeps giving 2nd chances, one-and-done, etc.).

I noticed in his profile that he was recruited by Jeremy Pruitt.If anyone should know this player it would be our coach.I will trust his judgement!

Tennessee football: Vols should give VanDarius Cowan a second chance

 

[Glitch]

A standard transfer doesn’t count against a 25.

But grad transfers do? I don't get that.

 

[Sleegro]

But grad transfers do? I don't get that.

Me neither.

When did you go from we can only take 15 next class to we have tons of room. And no, I don't think he is worth a scholarship either way.

That's Basilio code for "I know of absolutely nothing, but i'm making a safe statement just in case something happens so I can take credit"

Lost me at “Basilio says.”

 

[DarkAvenger]

I don’t mind Pruitt giving this kid brass knuckles against Georgia. Revenge for that dirty block.

 

[butchna]

But grad transfers do? I don't get that.

You got immediate eligibility with the grad transfer route. I think the NCAA was trying to keep the dam from breaking.

 

[butchna]

85 on a roster to players we’re ALLOWED to take in a class? Paying off blueshirt credit card bills. We have room on the 85. He’s worth it as an athlete but a liability discipline wise.
