Notify Pastner earlier before he gave the last scholly to Drew
Walk-on
Wait until summer
Go to any other school than UTK

But it was mostly a joke.

Stokes started it all off by trying to transfer from Central, where he had starred for 3? years...to play at Southwind in his senior season.
His petition to play in his senior season was denied...he wasn't eligible to play at Southwind.
That led him to the decision to graduate early..and its why we didn't have a scholly ready...as the last one was given to Drew Barham(?)

How difficult would it have been to "find a way" for Jarnell to walk-on for one semester? Rhetorical - pretty easy to fund one semester. He didn't want to come. He didn't want to play for Pastner? Ok, fine. Call it what it was though. I believed the "no scholly" thing for a while too. Until other non-truths started coming out, and I really thought about this situation. (Not directed entirely at you - there are many others.)

Anyway, just a take about the players who had older family members going to the Evil Empire, making it right.

I think a recruited player is not allowed to walk on.

Yes, they are. There are rules about prior relationships and such, but recruits walk-on all the time (Andre Allen, Drew Barham, Ryan Boyce, etc.).
