1) Historical Black CollegeWhat is the pull to JSU? I don't get it.
-CallahanVic Burley returned to Tennessee on Saturday for its first junior day of the year, visiting the Vols for the third time in less than six months. On Thursday, Tennessee returned the favor.
Burley, a five-star Class of 2023 defensive lineman from Warner Robins (Ga.) High School, told GoVols247 that Vols coach Josh Heupel and defensive line coach Rodney Garner stopped at his school Thursday to check on him coming off his latest trip to Knoxville.
The 6-foot-5, 276-pound Burley said after his visit to Tennessee last weekend that the Vols remain high on his list of college choices. He said they’re talking with him “probably every day of the week,” led by Garner, and he’s already interested in visiting them again for one of their spring practices.
Burley said Saturday that he has continued to give Tennessee strong consideration because of “just the love for this college.”
“Tennessee was my first offer, so they’ve just been there since the beginning — actually, since I started — and they’ve always been on top of recruiting me, too,” said Burley, who’s ranked the No. 33 overall prospect and No. 6 defensive lineman in the 2023 class, according to the industry-generated 247Sports Composite.
Burley has a longstanding relationship with Garner, who previously recruited him during Garner’s time at Auburn. Burley said he enjoyed spending more time during Saturday’s visit with Garner and other members of Heupel’s staff, including defensive coordinator Tim Banks and defensive analyst Levorn Harbin.
“Coach G, he’s just like talking to a family member,” Burley said. “He always gives off that family vibe to me and my family. He always greets us, welcomes us. Each time I’m on the phone with him, he always talks to my family and stuff.”

Agreed… should be a great opportunity to start off greatI think beating 1 of Bama/Georgia or Florida is necessary to keep the momentum flowing.If we don't it's not the world's end,but Florida at home is really a must.Year 2 we open Sec play with Florida.Being 4-0 headed into the Bye should be the goal it's not outta the realm to expect that.Pitt New QB,Florida New HC roster movement.Aint many excuses for not winning the 1st 4 but will see

I agree with everything but I’m hoping, almost expecting Milton to make a huge jump after an entire offseason with our staffI think people underestimate how tough that stretch will be. Pitt on the road; Florida has our number; LSU on the road. We sweep that stretch and Heupel has done very, very well. We aren’t bringing back an elite roster. We have a pretty good one, but if we are honest it is middle of the pack in the SEC, not top 3rd. Defense will still be weak point, and we are one QB injury away from a very bumpy ride…
