re: KIFFIN: “Tua would have transferred had he not came in”

If you look at Tua’s interviews from Hawaii, he considered his family economically distressed. The kid is all business about getting to the league and helping his family ... and after his junior year. That’s one reason he stated flatly he would not red shirt.

He has a lot of confidence and he was literally counting on beating Jalen out so that he could get on with his development and get ready to go out in the draft for personal reasons.

I think it’s best that Jalen either change positions or transfer. Their both good kids, but I don’t see any plan to split time working and I don’t think it’s justified. Tua, for all his easy going demeanor, is on a schedule and he means to keep it.

We need to give him all the reps and roll with him form here in out. Of course he has to get the job done, but the talent gap between these to is so wide that any serious talk of a competition is just silly.
