    Jalin Hyatt Ready for NFL Breakout

    https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/jalin-hyatt-packs-on-more-than-20-pounds Best of luck to Jalin who if you recall worked maniacally after his mediocre 2021 season and turned himself into the Biletnikoff winner. Hope he can repeat a version of that in the NFL.

    Truth about Nico

    Nico will have to stand on his own merit going forward. His franchise tag is removed and we will see how he fares without his mentor and guardian - Coach Heupel - nursing him along. It will be very interesting to see how his exit from Tennessee impacts his perception by NFL teams. Of course...

    The NFL Draft Proved the '24 Vols OVERACHIEVED!

    NIL levels the playing field between top talent states/teams such as Florida, Texas, Georgia Ohio, etc and the Tennessees and South Carolinas. Retaining quality depth will be difficult for all but scouting to pull in guys like Kitselman, Star Thomas, and affordable high ceiling kids from...

    Could Majors have won a NC here?

    If Bob Woodruff had hired Majors instead of Battle - yes Johnny would have won multiple national championships at Tennessee. He would have taken over a powerhouse from Dickey and moved it on up. If would have been p.r. Genius to hire the Vol hero after Dickey left in the depth of the night...

    '25 GVS Transfer DL Josh Schell (Tennessee)

    If I am understanding this article, Schell played college baseball at Grand Valley. That indicates athletic ability that certainly is not typical for a defensive lineman. A seasoned college football player added to the rotation sounds excellent. Need to pick up a few more. “Schell...

    Is Brandon Huntley Hatfield one and done?

    Hatfield had too many handlers and amateur agents. i am sure it is fun to be re-recruited every season but if he had buckled down and played hard for Barnes, his vagabond college career and pro potential would be dramatically different. When does reality finally hit the 5-star flameouts?

    Bernard King's first college game. Who remembers? Where were you?

    I was at what I think was his first SEC game vs Auburn. Auburn had a freshman named Mike Mitchell who I think was higher rated than Bernard who proceeded to destroy Mitchell immediately. Amazing to see King‘s quick release and domination over whoever had the misfortune to guard him.

    Nico to UCLA?

    Coaching staff at UCLA bought some off season excitement and drama. Nico family will bring 10 - 30 more fans to Rose Bowl which will be noticeable improvement. Nico can relax as few tv interviews or NIL commitments and he can have more time to spend with papa Nic as they plan their next...

    UT has the money, why not just pay up

    Who is to say he and daddy would not have tried this again during the season? Walk off before an SEC game, etc.? I hope they have terminated any leases, and clawback any autos, other agreements ASAP. Josh had to do what he did. However coronation of a high school kid who played a lot of...

    Who Do We Go After from the portal?

    Do not. I say DO NOT sign someone with 6 -12 siblings with a crazy old man in charge of the tribe trying to live off the son‘s NIL earnings. It was a huge mistake from UT to take on this social experiment. Too bad Nico does not play basketball as he could move to Europe and escape this plight.

    How'd you Feel as a Parent or Family?

    Nico was the poster child at the dawn of NIL and now he commands attention for cutting ties to the school that overpaid for him and a qb guru coach who treated him with kid gloves nurturing his game. Yes this is really a potentially extremely stupid decision particularly if Nico goes to a...

    Where is Nico likely to land?

    You guys are not expecting him to be boycotted like Colin Kaepernick? All Nico did was wanting to be the highest paid college qb and renegotiate 3 times a year. What value does he really have to another program when he missed spring practice and thinks he will be one and done and off to the...

    Vanderbilt's Jaylen Carey commits to Tennessee

    Cade has made great strides in the strength department and could do that again. He needs to work on free throws but this could be the best post player depth in some time with the returnees and Carey.

    The Official Rick Barnes discussion thread

    Yeah Vol basketball fans unite to appreciate Coach Barnes and his terrific squad and smack down the lightweight airheads that occasionally drift through this phenomenal message board. Don't take elite 8 teams and 30 win seasons for granted or you may just get the decades of dysfunction that...

    Darlinstone Dubar’s struggles

    Not enough depth for Dubar to redshirt. Would be nice if ncaa granted extra season due to hardship.
