I'm sorry to see Luttrell depart, but he got no PT.
My main question is how much effort went into acquiring those who depart? It was non-value added. Then factor in the cost and time to find replacements. Everyone can't, and shouldn't be retained, but is it cheaper to keep an o.k. player than find a new one?

Lutrell didn't seem to have what it takes in this league....In fact we have several that don't have what's needed in this league. We are a good ways away from competing for a SECC. We are a long ways off from having a defense that competes for a SECC.

2 years ago he played pretty good (remember the Mizzou game?) and last year, between injuries, he was serviceable. This year he was a total non factor the 2nd half of the season and of limited use early in the season Sure he had injuries, but he seemed to regress |

Addison Nichols enters the portal.
One of the more hyped OLs in fall practice He was really hyped as the B/U for Coop at center Ended up 4th string behind a walkon, Ball Just didn't pan out thought he did "ok" at LG against vandy when pressed into service But in the week before that game he was rumoured to be a leading candidate to enter the portal That being said, on the outside looking in, I'd like for him to stick around another year I think the potential is still there |

Hate to see Nichols leave. However, Campbell is back. That is huge.

Tyler Barron and Slaughter to the protal
Barron I can see.
He can go pro but looking for a large increasded NIL deal to stay in college
Me thinks he is over valuing himself a bit
Personal feeling is he may return, with an increased NIL or go pro, depending on evaluation, which I think will be good
Slaughter I don't understand
He didn't play well enough to warrant a large NIL increase IMO

I think the anser is it depends Within the quarter meals would continue Sometimes the exit interview results in a portal entry (see our OL players in the portal as well as Burrell (IMO) I think in those cases it's a mixture I think weight room would be available If they depart on their on - see ya I thin |

Oh okay. I was in Dobb's major. Aerospace Engineering. Was a junior in 87-88, I think they did the transition in 88-89, but I was a junior two years in a row because I was a co-op student. I graduated in 90. If you were a business major, you were probably one of the guys I always heard talking about what to do the rest of the day when walking home from class. I was always studying...business majors were always like "should we sun on the roof of Carrick? Go to the strip? Hang out at Gus's".  |

About 60,000 employees. SAP, SuccessFactors and various bolt-ons. I consider myself very lucky. In the middle of my Junior year at UT, I took an accounting systems class. It was hard as hell but I loved it. My job today is really just a macro version of that same class. You are in Networking, right? |

In college? You had to go out of your way to avoid it actually.  I had many friends who did avoid it for religious reasons, and I admire them for doing so. Not an easy thing to give up! |
