Due to academic issues. Release coming.
Looks like Tennessee will be going with
Thompson
Hubbs
McRae
Maymon
Stokes
or
McRae
Hubbs
Richardson
Maymon
Stokes
We should still be very good, and this improves us defensively, but losing your two-year starter at PG is definitely not ideal despite his inconsistency and poor defense.

Wow. Who does play point next year for UT?

Darius Thompson or Jordan McRae. Would not be surprised to see us add another PG here late via JUCO/transfer.

Another big loss for an SEC school. Really hoping LSU doesn't catch this bug.

Anybody know of any transfers that can play right away?

When he was hot he was hot but when he was off he was waaaay off.
Hated the inconsistency, but appreciate everything he did for UT. Wish him nothing but the best

So random going into your senior year - why the hell would they force out a senior starter?

Tobias says Golden was forced out by Cuonzo.
Mike DeCourcy hinting the same thing.

Let's be honest: Tennessee needed Trae Golden to move on in order to move up. And now it's coming. Sez he'll be a grad transfer.

They didn't. He forced himself out academically apparently

I agree. There's got to be more to this that hasn't come out yet.

A few tweets from Tennessee writers have stated that Golden and Martin's relationship was at the very least "rocky". Could just want a change in leadership.
Not really sure though. Certainly more will probably come out.

Why would Tennessee want Trae Golden out? I don't think this makes us better at all.

No - he was forced out. Its been swirling for about a week.

If he's causing issues on the team behind closed doors then I could see why. Your PG needs to be your leader and have his shite straight.
It doesn't shock me though. There were questions about him during his recruitment (FWIW Kentucky recruited him as well), academically and otherwise. This will probably end up being addition by subtraction for the Vols.

Weed, it looks like weed. Thug POS

He's absolutely awful at defense and in general is very slow and couldn't penetrate when facing athletic defenders making him utterly useless and a huge liability.
But I agree - there's no way this improves us this season. Take away his minutes if you have to but you need his scoring.
