Didn't like getting moved to the bullpen.

In his 4 SEC starts, he had an 11.94 ERA. Just awful to get butthurt over being replaced. Vitello set him up for the most electrifying moments of his career and helped him reclaim his elite status and preserve his draft stock. Apparently looking at LSU or Vandy.
 
Wow. Going to LSU or Vandy. That's a kick in the nurtz. Hope he ends up like Henry Tu Tu. He struggled as a starter, got moved to the pen, was extremely successful, and now wants to run away. When you play sports the coaching staff is supposed to put you where you can be successful and help the team the most. This new portal is getting ridiculous.
 
If anything he should be thanking Tony for moving him to the bullpen. Struggled as a starter this year and blossomed out of the bullpen. Without that move and what it did for him nobody wants him. Hope he changes his mind and stays in Knoxville but if not oh well. It's the new way of the portal.
 
Next year's team will look a lot different as there are several transferring and going pro.

One thing is for sure, there are a lot of guys who want the opportunity to play for TV, so we will have talent.

Someone hanging around that may have a bad attitude can really start to spread in a team.

Remember the slump the team started in at the first of the year? Remember when Ahuna was "hurt"?

Rumors are his attitude when he came in caused strife early on, and Tony sat him a bit to get his attention.

Correction: TCU not LSU.

I think $$$ is a much bigger factor than him being moved to the pen. I think he will end up staying with UT.

Edited to say apparently I was big time wrong here.

I kept reading LSU and Vandy but now TCU appears in play. If he does leave, and it sounds like he is based on this being known by TV mid season, I hope he leaves the conference.

Tennessee standout reliever Burns enters portal

Tennessee right-hander Chase Burns has entered the transfer portal. After scuffling as a starter this season, Burns became one of the nation's dominant relievers with a fastball that has topped 100 mph.

You got that right. His boat was sinking and tony didn't throw him a life raft he threw him a yacht.
 
Looks like he's staying.

I saw that a few days ago and things since then that he's leaving so who really knows? I did see we picked up a catcher from NC State and 2 pitchers from the portal. One from Wichita State and forget where the other is from.

I was afraid it might be wrong since it was a couple days old and nobody here had posted it. I hope he stays, but if he doesn't want to be a Vol he needs to go.

Sounds like from this article he's gone and had nothing to do with NIL money.

Rucker: Burns' Tennessee exit inarguably sad, arguably silly

Even in this transient era of transfer portal madness, homegrown star Chase Burns leaving a strong Tennessee program after dominating in the College World Series seems absolutely asinine on the surface. Dig a little deeper, though, and ... OK, it seems asinine. It's asinine.

That catcher is a stud.
