"I just got to talk to the coaches and continue to build those relationships," Hardman said. "I just hung out with the team as they were getting ready for the practice and I was able to go to some of the team meetings. It was basically a really chill day."

Hardman arrived early in the afternoon just as the Vols were finishing their first practice of the day and was able to see what a day of fall camp looks like for Tennessee.

"It was nice to see them get out of the first practice and then come back in and get some treatment and get some rest. It was just like a normal two-a-day," Hardman explained. "But, it was cool to see them in their meetings and see how they interact with each other in the meetings. That was good to see."

Between the Vols' two practices, Hardman sat in on several team meetings to get a feel for what it's like to be a receiver for the Vols.

"I learned that they are serious about what they're doing," Hardman said. "They're trying to get better every day and coach Z is serious about his receivers getting better. I saw a lot of good out of what I saw in the practice and the meeting."

With more than 30 offers, Hardman said it was time to narrow it down to a more manageable group.

"It took a load of my shoulders. I got a top 10 list now and I can actually talk to the coaches and there's no pressure to talk to the other schools," Hardman said. "I'm looking forward to building a relationship with those schools and hopefully I can visit them and get a feeling for them."

Hardman said the next step is setting up official visits and those will likely go to schools that he can't drive to like Michigan, Stanford, Oklahoma and Miami he said.

He plans to be back in Knoxville for the Oklahoma game on Sept. 12.

To be fair I did see her at the practice on Saturday and I wasn't sitting far away from where she was. So that makes it a little less creepy right..? Right, guys!? Guys!??

You had Mecole Hardmen show up. He is the big time #37 player in the country. He is an explosive receiver. First time back since the Spring Game. I got to know Mecole very well. TN was one of the first team to offer. At one point TN was clear cut leader. Other teams started offering. It was good to get him on campus. Butch has taken over his recruitment. He has really bonded well with Coach Jones. Coach has talked to his family several times. Mecole will be back OK game with his family. He takes his recruitment a little different. He will take his 5 official visits to places not close to home. He has mentioned Stanford, Mich., Miami. He lives about 20 minutes from UGA’s campus. Once it comes down to things it is GA to beat with TN and Auburn in the mix. Then you have Kyle Davis who is another big time receiver. One of my favorite players in the class. It is a TN vs. GA battle there as well. He lives in Lawrenceville GA which is 45 minutes from GA campus. I think TN continues to gain momentum there

Or you could have just read my update a week ago :). It's been a long weekend, but I can say that we are in the lead for Mecole...I'd put it at 60/40 up from even with GA before the visit as i previously mentioned.
KD is all Vol. You'll start to see that more and more as GA starts taking other WR commitments, and soon. And don't listen to the Barn rumors regarding KD.
Warrior is really enjoying the recruiting process and trolling beat writers. The official line is that it is way too early for him to know anything, but he knows and our staff knows :).
Finally, I think I may or may not be wrong on what I said about Derrick Brown and I'll admit it now rather than make excuses. While GA really seems out of it due to the lies that were fed to him, Auburn and Garner have really come on $trong. Not saying we are trailing, but the AU is right there with us and I get nervous when they are involved $$$.
I'm going to get some sleep guys. It's been a long weekend. Haven't felt this good about our class in a long, long time.

I've been saying it for the longest. Mecole is coming to UT. he's playin people so he can make it interesting (NSD). I could tell he was coming here a long time ago. He was ALL vol then uga and some other random teams came out of nowhere. I am NO insider.
