Based on other examples it could be a year or more before ultimately decided. Hopefully they issue a notice of anticipated violations (whatever that is called) and releases players from NLIs at that point and not have to wait for the process to play out. Otherwise those kids could be stuck in limbo for the 2021 season. I hope someone here can explain how it works. @dilligasTennessee, expecting violations, can go ahead & release signees from their NLIs without having to wait on all that NCAA mess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Plainsman 948 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Just bumping to try and get the mojo going for us here. Lame of TN to just drag it but I suppose they want to announce a DC first and see if they can change DB’s mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still expected to go on a few more weeks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddc 13,194 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I thought I read somewhere that said they have 30 days to respond, but I could have dreamt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can give him the release or just let the time run out on the NLI which lasts through July. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do take the hard case route and make these young men wait till July any time I was competing with them for a new recruit I would bring it up to show what type of school you are dealing with. I am against negative recruiting but when you can actually point to something the school is doing to their recruits that is not negative. A recruit should know that about a school. Gus for all his faults would never do something like force the young man to wait till July. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been reported by a high school coach that knows Brooks well that Brooks cannot get anyone from TN to take his calls. He has tried numerous times but no one answers.

It’s also been reported by reputable people that the vols are trying to get him to wait just a little bit till they get a DC and try to sell him on staying with them.

Last week on WJOX, one of the hosts that is on with Cole Cubelic said he had personally talked to the coach I mentioned and this is what he was told by the coach. This was in the same segment where they interviewed the Oxford coach about Roc Taylor's situation. Just passing on the information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way UT shouldn't be hindering a kids chances to find a more suitable environment to play in because of their loss of institutional control. It's a bad look all around. Absolutely no honor in how they're playing these kids. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Sorry if this a dumb question.Can't Brooks, Brown or any other Tenn signee just walk out on their own and walk-on at another school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @Hunter48 is a coach in the state and says Roc gained some weight and lost some speed so he was too big & not quick enough to be a WR and not big enough to be an Y type of TE.

tinman 305 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 In a situation like Brooks is going through, is there a way the SEC office can get involved and settle it? This is greater than a kid changing his mind about a school choice. TN lost it's coaches who recruiter Brooks, and is apparently facing some stiff penalties for their recruiting violations.

If the Vols let the NLI run out it only costs Brooks 2 months in going to another school. It's probably a moot point anyway as it's still expected to be resolved in the next 2 to 4 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
