Why not both?

I kind of hope he tries to pull a Costanza in a few days after he sees his portal options, though.  “What portal?  I’ve been here the whole time. I was running first team yesterday.”  Then again, Todd Orlando would probably take him at USC and consider that fulfilling his LB recruiting duties for the next two years.

Lol funny thing is Alford and Ingram tried to get him to go to USC and they told him to fuck off

Are coaches not allowed to stop the renewal of a player's scholarship if they enter the portal?

Or are players protected from that?


Long term I could see how not renewing any portal peeper's scholarship would be bad for recruiting, but I could see how that would be a benefit to a new coach in the short term.

If NCAA becomes a business like the players want, they won't like those ramifications I don't think.

Reading this shit made me reflect on why Mitchell pissed me off so bad.  Then I remembered a 2 play sequence against OK State where he was absolute horseshit 

Technique: terrible

Effort: non-existent 

I saw this live and couldn't believe we had someone on the roster that cared this little about playing football for The University of Texas, let alone on the field.  When he continued to get playing time after this (and plenty of other examples) I couldn't believe we had coached that would tolerate this garbage.  It is literally impossible to play worse than this. Don't fucking tell me this is a fire brand or that we will miss this bitch-ass one fucking bit

Is he going to have to sit out the first half of his first game wherever he winds up?

Expand  

The first half of the first game and probably several others later on.

I have to admit, that’s pretty cool. A player that’s bad at life paired with a school that’s bad at life.

Juwanna play for the Vols?

Couldn’t be any further from the truth...

Juwan Mitchell’s road to Rocky Top: Why the versatile Texas linebacker transfer chose Tennessee

When his junior college career was finished, he signed with Texas. In Year 1, he was a linebacker in Todd Orlando’s 3-4 defense. Until Orlando was fired. Then Mitchell learned a 4-2-5 defense under new Longhorns defensive coordinator Chris Ash, leading Texas in tackles in their first year in the system. After the season, head coach Tom Herman was fired and Steve Sarkisian took over, bringing in Jeff Choate to coordinate the defense and coach the inside linebackers.

It was a “third set of strangers coming into the building,” Mitchell said.

Expand  

Maybe somebody can explain how going to Tennessee he will not have a new set of strangers.

I'll hang up and listen.

For a Program like Tennessee undergoing turmoil and departure of quality players Juwan must feel like finding $100 bill on the sidewalk. Guy has put up decent numbers.  Obviously what shows up on the field is a let down, not to mention off the field issues.  It should give someone pause that a program that has been deficient at LB for years wasn’t trying very hard to keep him in the fold.  Good luck to him. I honestly wish him well.

I know Choate is a co-DC but I feel this is really overselling his role.

Coached by Brian Jean Mary at Tenn.  Will there by any fights ?  Excerpts:

 

   

Mitchell, who led Texas in tackles last season before transferring to Tennessee, praised his new conference and congratulated the Longhorns on their future move to the SEC on Thursday.

“I’m proud of them. They should (want to join the SEC),” Mitchell said. “They want to come over here just like I do.

“I pretty much look at the SEC as the Big 12 and Big Ten combined.”

With the Sept. 2 opener against Bowling Green approaching, Mitchell has made a good first impression. That could indicate his potential impact or the low expectations of the otherwise inexperienced linebackers unit, or both.

“You can just tell from his demeanor as he walks around the building what kind of guy he is,” junior linebacker Roman Harrison said. “He’s a dog. I love the way he plays. He plays fast, aggressive, smart. He’s going to be really fun to see on Saturdays.

If Juwan stops getting in his own way he could be a solid starter for them. But it's a huge if.
