D. Jones to UT?

[NDChatt]

A friend of mine sent me a link to a TN site where there is a rumor that D. Jones is looking to transfer to UT? Does anyone know anything about this?

The website is bigorangenation.com

You hit the key work "rumor".

You hit the key work "rumor".

Meaning that it's been a rumor that's been going around for a while? Or that it's a rumor started on a random message board with no other proponents?

 

[Rizzophil]

I THINK that NDChat means that there is just more speculation about D Jones and ND quarterbacks. Look, Jones doesn't even know if he's in the top two yet.

 

[jiggafini19]

The connection is obvious.

David Cutcliffe is their OC down there and Jones' Morgan Park teammate OL Ramone Johnson is down in Knoxville on scholarship.

Cutcliffe began the recruiting process with Jones when Weis hired him as the QB coach. He then went LOA because of his heart problems.

Sorry I should have clarified. There was a thread on the bigorangenation board that stated D. Jones was looking to transfer. I did not have time to read the whole thread and thought I could get better info about it here.

 

[johnnd05]

The thread is here, btw: http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols/29356-i-hear-demetrius-jones-might-transfer.html.

Nothing much there except a bunch of bad jokes, and this:

I hear Demetrius Jones might transfer to UT
any truth?

We'll have to see. I've heard the rumor.

dont hold your breath

So not much. I suppose DJ's gotta do what's best for DJ; if this is where he wants to go I wish him the best.

 

[IrishCalves]

Any talk of Jones, or any other QB transferring to a specific school is simply foolish before the announcement on May 30th. Rizzo hit it on the head.

 

[Junkhead]

I would think the QBs have a feel for if they are in the top 2 or not. Who knows.

 

[wheeler418]

The only way that DJ would think about transfering is if he knew that he did not have a good spring. Does that mean he could not improve and still start? After the BG game, he was outside signing autographs I think longer then any other player. At this point I think this has to be a rumor.

The charges recently brought against DJ have been dropped... See the link

I am glad they are dropped, but what is Weis going to say to him about the car he was driving? I know it is not his, but he was still the driver.

 

[rontdtarchala]

well thank goodness for that, I for one apologize cause I automatically found him guilty and charged him with complete abandonment of his family, team, and ND. I guess it shows we really need to let things run their course before we make a decision on a kid.

 

[rontdtarchala]

I can only say when you are such a high profile athlete as ND players are (especially QB's) you must be aware of everything around you.

 

[Akron Irish]

Well, I was going to step up and say that the marijuana belonged to me. I'm glad the other guy beat me to it. I'm too pretty for jail.

I agree that it is probably a good idea to let things run their course before making a judgement about someone. Go Irish!

 

[IrishCalves]

All I can say is, this kind of incident raises a lot of questions about trust with Weis. The only person that knows what really went down is Demetrius Jones, and he's going to have to give Weis some honest answers if he wants to be taken seriously once again.

 

[wheeler418]

Since this started a week ago, DJ and Weis should have this already worked out as well as DJ and ND. Is Weis going to meet with the media when the top 2 QBs are released? If so do you think he will say anything on this or keep quite?

 

[Newc]

Now that the charges have been dropped I doubt Weis will be the one to bring it up. I am sure he will be asked if the incident had any influence on his decision but in good ole Weis fashion he won't give a real direct answer. I guess we'll all just have to wait and see.

 

[benneboy]

did charlie give an exact date for announcing the final two or did he just say 'the end of may'?

The rumor is May 30th.

Why not just piss test him?

 

[GoshenGipper]

He probably won't be formally announcing it. According to previous statements he is just going to probably send out an email near the end of the month because he doesn't want to field any questions on the subject in a press conference situation.

I'm sure it will happen soon enough. When KMac was arrested he was pissed a couple of days later, I believe.
