To put things in perspective, these things can be interpreted however you want. Since are all high on culture that Huepel has built along with a high flying offense etc. we see this as a leadership moment. Now Imagine, this is year 5 of Butch, team is 2-5 or something and this happens, we...

From what I read on internet, he got injured and won't be fully fit until fall. How realistic is it for him a join a team now, not practice until fall and then be able to get significant playing time there ? Sometimes these kids make bad decisions and whoever is advising them is not doing them...

I am curious how long before Supreme Court allows for in-season transfers .. it will be wild

Don't. I do not anticipate any athlete ever saying 'XYZ school is giving me more playing time or more money but I am going to stay here coz some random fan bought my Jersey' .. Chances are if you were a player, you would not either. We all leave jobs for better pay, location and work anyways.

I have high hopes from him. He was a late riser in the rankings last year. Injuries have derailed his career early on and I am hoping he does not choose the easy route of playing somewhere else. He is currently behind in rotation due to injuries.

Can't wait for the early spring practice reports. Smells like (spring) football time in Tennessee

for 2023, Milton was also a 5* I believe .. I read 'former 5*' in articles for Andre Turentine but does not show that from his recruiting profile ..

Do not forget Caleb Herring as we all excited over all the names mentioned in posts above

I do not follow high school football much so genuinely curious: How is a guy from 2-10 high school so highly rated ? #2 in 2025 class ? Also how did his school make it to State Quarterfinals with a 2-10 record ? (not trying to be negative. I understand it is a team game. I am genuinely elated...

Does TN pursue him ? Would that cause of losing GMac for 25 ? (Random thoughts)

Wish we could find a Rodney Garner to coach safeties and CBs too. That position has been liability since forever. Garner is the man.

With portal available to fill any immediate needs and also players transferring out, the roster management will very much be a year-by-year thing. In 2025 Vols will re-evaluate who all is available for OLine after transfers and graduations, then target those specific areas. The player...

Welcome !!

Would Bailey & West (who are close to 300 lbs) mostly play DE in run stop type stuff ? Baron played at 260 lbs and was more of a pass rusher DE. I guess Weathersby will take that role.

With Tyler Baron leaving, I am curious to who will start the DE position that he started ? We have lot of blue chip names at Leo position (Pearce, Josh Josephs, Bradley, Caleb Herring, new 5* signee) but not many names for the DE spot.. Tyree Weathersbee is a name in that spot ., Nathan Robinson...
