Which players hit the road/Pruitt shows them the door?

[Florida Orange]

Like and well stated. He's carried himself well and has good practice habits. Coach Scott lured him away from Miami where Boulware is now starting on their line. 3 attempts to T.Byrd this year...2 from JG one barely catchable and one not. The lone throw from KC resulted in a TD against Bama from about 35 YDS. out when he was hit in stride. He's not going anywhere unless he makes the decision to leave on his own then he'll try out as an UDFA in the league and make at least someone's practice squad if not better. Guy's no quitter and believes in himself. He's simply taking advantage of the opportunity being given him.

Exactly right!

Gonna miss Tuttle and Phillips... the rest, not so much

Alexis Johnson made quite a few plays for us this year. Plus Kongbo was progressing some it seemed. Glad for all the dedication that each gave here.

McBride just tweeted he is transferring

Probably should. I like that kid, but if he wants to play he probably knows he has to xfer down.

I'm personally gonna miss Paul Bain.

only one idiot posted warriors name. Try and read the entire thread before assuming. I do hope warrior, A.Taylor, B.Thompson, Flowers, JJ Richardson,Bituli, Ignont, S.Reid,D.Taylor,Emerson,M.Butler,D.Johnson, J.Carvin,J.Johnson, J.JenningsJ.Murphy,T.Jordan, T.Chandler,J.Banks,C.Tillman,B.Kennedy, M.Tatum, and on all bolt from UT in a display of unity. Ain't none of you couch-tater,monday morning QB's, got any damn sense to go around passing out judgement and naming names.

That JJ Richardson kid must be a beast, is that a Janzen Jackson/Tiny Richardson hybrid that we redshirted this year?

One thing i see posters here often forget as a factor...even though Patterson just exemplified it both here and in the NFL ...is that some players while very gifted athletes are just too damn dumb to learn the plays.

Period. I played with some in HS...fast as anyone on the team, jump like Jordan...dumb as a bag of hammers. Guarantee you that there are several players right now at UT that simply cannot remember where they are supposed to be on the field, what routes to run, etc...the Vikings finally let CP go...because after 2 full seasons he still couldnt learn enough plays to be used in a game.

These kids are so good that their teachers in HS passed them so they could play ball. Period. There are NFL players that are illiterate. That means "caint reeed" . Julius peppers went all the way through UNC playing 2 sports, he can just barely speak English. No way he can read. Its sad...I am not making fun of the kids...but its also very true.

How many players can you think of that you know can run a 4.4 in the 40 but dont see the field for UT? I can name several. Some of them are just plain dumb. Sorry.

Valid point. Just watching games and seeing guys make good plays the rare times they get in the game may be deceptive. Those may be the only plays they don't get mixed up.

Ohhhh. OK.

Corrected the verb to knows. Thanks for the heads up.

It's pretty obvious when players quit. Vandy is not three touchdowns better than UT no matter what kind of scheme we are running. They didn't want to be there and they didn't put forth their best effort. You can blame the coach for a lot of things but unless we are trying goofy schemes that simply won't work (qb with no running threat in the read option) then you have to look at a player's effort. I have serious doubts about Pruitt's ability to coach but at this point you have to give him the benefit of the doubt

Derek Mason has Vandy playing hard nose football against very good opponents, with players that want to play football the way it should be played

Greazy Brandon didn’t play this year because every time he came in he dropped a pass and shyed away from contact on 3rd downs. Brandon was supposed to be a possession receiver and that wasn’t the case this year. He struggled. That doesn’t make him a cancer.

Don’t CJP was talking about Brandon when the team met and talked about getting rid of those that didn’t want to be there.

Well bro tell me how u know? I would love to hear ur reply..This is my nephew u talking about here..The nerve of u..I never post lies on this site..

Well unless Brandon specifically told you that CJP told him he was cancer. Which I doubt he would say about Brandon because Brandon is a good kid..? That’s what I was getting at.

I was trying to get a point across by using an example. For about a week after Spring football and Pruitt's rant about some players not giving there all, there was a barrage of "CJP is getting ready to clean house" threads and comments. After all, we had 15 5* experienced replacements waiting to take their place. Just like today. LOL!

Nobody and I mean nobody was sent packing. He even saved Darrin Kirkland from leaving after he cleaned himself outta the house. Dozens of posters made these bold statements as if they knew how it should be and was going to be done by the new Sheriff. Every single one had some reason of how and why. To a person, they were all 100% wrong.

None that I've seen ever returned to eat crow. I have a sneaking suspicion that many in these "verbatim" threads are the same posters.

My main point is simply that most of us around here don't know squat about the inner workings of leadership in a big time CFB program.

Well, CJP has stated we’re bringing in a full class has he not? We have 13 seniors? Simple math tells me this is different than spring.

We'll have to find about 12 more guys to say goodbye I think we'll start seeing them after the OC hire.
