  Imagine saying that when you were playing with guys like Micah Bernard and Cam..

  Even if he did, which he didn’t, you don’t say that.

  I honestly never saw him as all that! Compare him to the great interior DTs we have had here over the years and he doesn’t make the top 10 and probably not even top 20. He couldn’t carry Star’s jock strap!

  That’s literally not the quote. Not that it was taken out of context (which it was), but he didn’t say those words in that order. It’s not the quote.

    I’ve listed to the entire interview & it’s stunning how full of it he is. He actually says he was entertaining transferring after just three games into the season last year.

    Yes the quote is slightly off.
    
    However here is a quote that is from the actual transcript that is almost the same thing:
    
    “You know, I don’t know if there was a player that was more bought into that program than I was.”
    
    That is a loaded statement man.
    
    How can he be more bought into the programm than any other player when he was thinking about transferring as early as the third game in? He stated he was thinking of transferring as early as the 3rd game. Said it himself in the interview.
    
    It’s an insult to the other players who REALLY were bought in and not thinking about transferring.

    He actually did say that, in that very order. And the context is correct.

  Rewording what he said and placing it in quotation marks is really lame. Doing so is not reasonable behavior.
  
  As for the player- he is gone and I’m not going to waste time thinking about him.

  Everyone forgets why he received so much backlash. Nobody cares that Carson Ryan transferred to tds. The problem is because a week before he transferred he was shading another player (Calhoun) for entering the portal and not being committed to the U, only to enter his name a week later.

  Come on guys, he didn’t say that. He’s obviously being dishonest about how bought into the program he was, but he did not say what that tweet says he did.
  
  He’s clearly a liar that is more concerned about his pocketbook and his public image than he is about his integrity, but lets not say he said things he did not say. He’s a liar because he says it isn’t about money when its obvious that it was, and he clearly feels guilty about it otherwise he wouldn’t be constantly trying to defend his actions. He’s trying to make himself feel better about leaving for money. Look, I don’t care that he left for more money. That is fine. I’d do the same thing, but why all the lies about it? Just own it dude. “yeah, I left for more money, don’t people do that in every profession?” End of story.
  
  He’s a clown because he won’t shut up about it and he keeps being dishonest about his reasons for leaving, and his level of commitment to the Utes football team.

    So Tanuvasa goes from being “more bought in” to Utah’s program…
    
    …to being more “bought by” ybu-p’s boosters.
    
    But correct you are chinngiskhaan. Tanuvasa goes on to say, “the decision to leave wasn’t one that was fully made by myself…uh…because I felt like I was inspired by something greater than myself.”
    
    Yeah, right. Much greater. Like a great big sack of C-notes. But it’s not like he can say THAT out loud. Better off trying to imply the “Lord” was guiding his hand, because He cares about ybu-p football. That’ll really play up to his latest crowd.
    
    Tanuvasa = sell-out clown

      Look, I believe in the same God he does. I pray about big decision in my life. It is entirely possible that he did feel like God was telling him to go, but that doesn’t mean money wasn’t the main motivation for even considering it in the first place. I don’t know anyone that is bought in to their current job that wakes up every morning and asks God if he should start looking for another job. You don’t do that unless you don’t feel right about where you are, and if you don’t feel right about where you are, you aren’t bought in.
      
      This reeks of the same stench coming from the LDS guys that convince naive girls to marry them because “God told me you are supposed to marry me.” Don’t use God as an excuse for your chicken s**ttery.
      
      It is honestly so strange to me how these guys committing to TSPP are all so hell bent on making sure everyone knows it’s not about the money. It’s almost as if they’ve been instructed to deny that money had anything to do with it. It is a business now. Football is your profession. It is perfectly fine to leave for somewhere else for more money.

  Should’ve given more sacks. We have players who have as many or more in one game than he did his whole career.
