I suspect there's more discord going on in the Vol locker room. I don't buy the official story on Kongbo posting the hanging cleats pic. Yeah, he lost on some soccer video game? But why'd he delete all the Tennessee stuff from his page?
My guess is he was going to quit, but changed his mind after talking to family/coaches/other players. Then to save face they brainstormed the FIFA cover story.
There's more to all of this, I'm sure. I'll believe Hurd is transferring when I see it. My guess is he'll enter the draft, and the truth will come out after Butch is gone.
