Rutherford leaving because we signed 2 FIU guys?

some gt twitter accounts seem to allude to it at least playing a part, who knows these days what’s really going on though

15 offers including the last three of GT, Cal., Tulsa. Looks like J. Jones has fours years of eligibility….

To me, based on the timing of his tweet after Dean Patterson’s commitment, this reeks of him being displeased with us bringing in multiple proven transfer receivers. Like he’s getting replaced or something. This ain’t a go get a bigger bag somewhere. You just wanna tell him…hey man, we’re losing FOUR receivers who were getting snaps…we have to replace them somehow. Do you wanna have the best team possible? Or replace those snaps with the freshman coming in and the guys already on the team who didn’t play any this year? Me mentality. Didn’t expect that out of him.

Big Rutherford fan but if you feel threatened by transfers from FIU, where does he think he's going to end up where he doesn't have to compete for playing time?

Probably more like, we signed 2 FIU guys because Rutherford and Singleton leaving.

I hear FIU is looking for some guys.

Haynes just tweeted the sad face. I could see Rutherford pulling a Tatum and coming back.

Mood right now with the roster churn….then getting rightsized by the swarm members

In this new game of portal musical chairs, you better be careful that you don’t get stuck without a seat when the music stops.

Totally. Seems like a knee jerk reaction. Hopefully he does soon, because we need him in the bowl. Vandy hasn’t really lost anyone of note to the portal.

Bailey Stockton then retweeted the announcement and said “this one hurts”. I hope we keep him seems like a leader of the room. Didn’t get that same type of response from the team with Singleton..

Has he been at bowl practice??

Lik transferring is really a head scratcher to me. I'm absolutely a fan of his, but what exactly is he expecting? Anywhere he goes he'll be starting over - most likely without the parade that ESJ will get. He'll be a complete unknown and will be fighting to get noticed...really odd.

Loyalty to the school is virtually a thing of the past. It’s all about the Benjamins, baby.

Malik to the portal - that really hurts, maybe a bigger loss than singleton imo

Geeze, I am sick of this. How can you just walk away?

I think he will be back.

IMO a condition of being honored with wearing number 8 should be no transfers allowed....DT stuck it out at Tech, they should too...

Thomas left after his junior year.

Thomas left after his junior year.

You forgot to mention that he left for the first round of the NFL draft.

That wasn't the point. Malik played 3 years. That's the same as DT. The comment was DT stayed, so should MR.

Didn't say I was happy about it. I wasn't happy when DT left with eligibility left either. I understood; but I wasn't happy.

To be fair, the transfer rules weren't the same when BayBay was here. That '09 season might have never happened if this crap was around back then.
