Um, that report that Tennessee linebacker Darrin Kirkland Jr. would be leaving Rocky Top for another school as a graduate transfer? Never mind (maybe):
Would expect formal announcement this week @SEC meetings in Destin, but was told late last night Darrin Kirkland Jr., with his family, met w/ Pruitt & is likely to remain @ UT

As I said, maybe. We’ll see. Who knows?
If true, it’s great news. It’s odd, though. The report that Kirkland was leaving came straight from his own Twitter account. That account has since been deleted. So, all we have is a tweet from the guy himself from an account that has now been nuked, and a subsequent tweet from a guy based on an unnamed source that the guy has changed his mind.
Intrigue!
As I said in our post earlier this week, we’d mentioned in our Vols preseason magazine just how important Kirkland’s healthy return could be to the team, and I still believe that. If he has reconsidered after meeting with both his family and Pruitt, then that’s a good thing for the team.
Huh.. that’s kinda weird, but hey this would be awesome news if he does stay after all.
Hmm….. Wait a sec..
Aw heck! The brownies!
