Brenton Cox

The Ken is suggesting we might be the destination for Cox. At this late date he is sitting in 2019 wherever he transfers and transferring within the University System might be easier that going out of state.

Whew! Didn’t see that coming.

I saw Ezzard's tweet earlier. Honestly, a tweet from a friend isn't a real strong indicator that we are considering bringing him in. Wait and see. The very suggestion is sure to ruffle some feathers here, but I will trust the staff to make a determination. Misdemeanor pot really doesn't get me up in arms and this is a 5 star player, so I'm cool with it if we are his landing spot.

I'd love for him to come here for multiple reasons but I, like most people on this board, am not going to put much stock into a tweet from one of our student athletes

Well there were some folks bad mouthing him on Twitter this morning and his mom got on there and started raising hell. The folks were supposedly Tech fans

 

[Gtbowhunter90]

Tre Swilling got on there and defended Cox, which was the right thing to do. Imo.

 

[GT05]

Yes please

No one should be badmouthing anyone on Twitter over something that has nothing to do with them. But, that is basically 75 percent of what Twitter is.

Geez... I hope that's not the case. Don't trash kids in public, people, and Twitter is public.

Why would any Tech bad mouth a kid

If he is thinking of GT, Twitter is not going to turn the ship toward or away from GT.

Agreed. We definitely overestimate our importance when it comes to those things. It's still something I'd rather fans not do.

Even if you piss off mom?

 

[iceeater1969]

Heard rumors
1. if true, would preclude him from desiring to become a tech man.

2. If false would make me want to see a 5 star join the practice squad this year and possibly play next year.

3. If an option, Cgc has to decide and make it work.

Beside the point. It's a completely classless thing to do, in public, and not a good look. Period.

Ok let's be honest, weed is EXTREMELY common in college now a days. It's hard to NOT find it tbh, the football kids are just under a microscope for the most part. If this guy is a good kid then I say we give him a shot. Ain't nearly as bad for you as alcohol, and is a hell of a lot better than tobacco.

I dont think it was the weed tho. Just think he wasnt happy there. Maybe fell behind the depth chart..

 

[iceeater1969]

Thank goodness football has started.

He was arrested in April for marijuana. He was with another player, so I don't know if it was his, the other guys, or both.

I saw several articles that said he was dismissed from the team. I have no idea if that is true. If it is true, I have no idea what he was dismissed for. I do think that if he was dismissed from the team, that it deserves extra scrutiny before inviting him to be on the team no matter how talented he is.

Lol he wants to come to Tech? Absolutely. I could care less that he was a dwag, sign me up for a guy like him every day of the week
