Let me be the first to say ... this will probably bump him up even further on their list. :biggrin:

I see that we have offered as well. Will we pull back now??

I think we already had backed off before this incident.

Yes, he was way down the offered prospect list. I just removed him from our list.

Alcoa and Maryville same area are 2 Hoover type programs. What a stupid move on this kids part.

I agree it wasn't the smartest of moves, but i hope he can learn from this and it doesn't cost him his future. It seems to have already cost him his senior season.

Up in smoke on top of old Smokie .

Arrested? Sounds like this guy makes a good fit at UT.

He's not a bad kid at all. It is a shame people two states away are so quick to trash some 18-year-old they know nothing about. More to the story than is in the article. But I guess that won't stop the "fits in at UT" garbage. Might I remind you we have had a guy pepper sprayed and four guys arrested.

I have to agree with you NeverWrong. You can't throw a kid away because he makes a mistake. He's paying for it by being kicked off the team and it very well may cost him a scholarship at a top team. IF he learns from his mistake is the important thing.

Bits of marijuana and resealable plastic bags? Doesn't seem like a big deal to me and I'm to the right of Genghis Khan.

I agree that trashing kids is unseemly, but even moreso is someone who responds by trashing his own program to get back.
