He will definitely get a start this weekend. But, the rotation this weekend may not be the same as the rotation when we roll into SEC play. Lots of competition on the bump. I think there are 5-7 legit starters on this team. That’s a good problem to have for sure.I am hoping Tidwell can lock down a starting spot. He likely does not make it to campus in a normal year.

It means nasty bullpen and depth to win a regional even out of the losers bracketHe will definitely get a start this weekend.

Excited to follow his career, we’re from the same home town. During the offseason he went to the same gym as I did and it’s pretty impressive how his body changed, seemed like a good kid too. Went to the same HS as Ryan Weathers (7th overall pick in 2018).Okay, I'm revising my starters list to include Tidwell. I'd even bet on it.
From today's KNS:
Vitello was close to finalizing his weekend starting rotation Tuesday, but one name was locked in.
Freshman Blade Tidwell will start a game against Georgia Southern
“His stuff is phenomenal,” Rucker said. “He has a hard fastball that moves like a cutter. He has a hard slider. He has got everything to make hitters uncomfortable.”
Tidwell, a right-handed pitcher from Loretto, likely would have been picked in the MLB Draft if not for a shortened five-round process. He is in line to be the first freshman in Tennessee’s weekend rotation since Garrett Crochet and Sean Hunley in 2018.
