With the Vols on their second of two bye weeks of the season, the Tennessee staff will not only take the opportunity to rest its team and develop its younger players but also reassess its 2020 recruiting board. They’ll likely hit the road and touch base with prospects while at […]
The more I think about the pickup of OLB Jimari Butler the more I love it. Yes, the loss of BJ Ojulari was a big blow to the class, particularly given Tennessee’s need for pass rushers both immediately in 2020 and when looking out vis a vis the current roster. […]
Tennessee received a commitment from it’s 4th OL in the 2020 class when Kyree Miller went public with his pledge on Tuesday. Fresh off his official visit to Knoxville this past weekend, Miller didn’t need to wait any longer before jumping into the boat. At 6’4 and ~360 pounds, Miller […]
With the flip of prized commitment BJ Ojulari to LSU over the weekend, Tennessee is now left with a large hole in what is otherwise an outstanding recruiting class.

To illustrate […]
When looking at Tennessee’s current commitment list as well as the realistic targets on the board as of early October, what stands out is how heavily tilted towards the defensive side of the ball those lists in total are. Four of the top five commitments (of 14 in total) as […]
The Georgia game was always the first home game that the Tennessee staff was targeting as a big recruiting weekend, but unfortunately it’s not as big of a game associated with the Vols were expecting or hoping for thanks to the disastrous start to the season. At 1-3 Tennessee is […]
With the team on its first of two bye weeks of the season, the Tennessee staff took the opportunity to hit the road and grant new offers to multiple prospects. As discussed last week, while the Vols are still very much in play for many of their top targets they […]
