Again (like everytime with the kid) you're making assumptions and guesses. From everything I've ever read or seen from the kid he's nothing but a quiet, good kid. He has never from anything I've seen "whined" or said anything about wanting to be "the guy". All the other players seems to love him, none of the coaches (past or current) have ever said anything bad about him. He never did anything to affect chemistry or cause any problems. If anything else he was the oppositite and helped Crompton out a lot last year. From everything I've read, it's daddy wanting him home and wanting him to play at K-State with his brother. He's went through offseason workouts, had nothing but positive things to say about Dooley after he was hired, and has done anything he's ever been asked to do while at UT.
I thought last year that Poole should have been getting as many or more touches than Brown, but Kiffin wanted to put him out front and make sure he was seen. I don't think Brown had any say in that. If there is one place that UT has a little bit of depth and some talent it's at RB. If Tony Williams hadn't tore his ACL last Spring he would have probably been in the same shape as Poole (not getting deserved carries) because early reports were that he was as good or better than Hardesty last Spring. I'll be excited to see the kid that had 380 yds rushing and 7 tds in a game playing in metro Atlanta as a senior.
I wish the kid was staying at UT, but I wish him luck where ever he goes because he seems like a good kid. I'm not going to hate him and denegrate him just because he chose not to play for the school I cheer for.
