The VFL discussion going on in a different thread is interesting. Shouldn't a VFL be a player who committed to Tennessee and stayed their whole entire Collegiate Career here ? These one year mercenaries that we're bringing in every year in all Major Sports and hanging out for one season shouldn't be considered a VFL. Even though they are great players and helped the teams immediately win how does that 6 months worth of loyalty turn into a four year career here.

Super VFLs = played their entire D1 careers at TN and earned a degree. Examples: Kirby Connell, Trey Lipscomb, Zander Sechrist, etc.

VFLs = played their entire D1 careers at TN until they were drafted by MLB. Examples: Drew Gilbert, Aaron Combs, Drew Beam, Jared Dickey, Christian Moore, Jordan Beck, Cal Stark, etc. NOTE: should they complete their degrees at UT, they are migrated to Super VFLs.

Honorary VFLs = completed their undergraduate degrees elsewhere but received Graduate degree or graduate coursework at UT: Example Griffin Merritt

I view a VFL as someone that started and finished their career at Tennessee. The only exception to the rule for me is Dalton Knecht being a SEC POY, would have been National POY and gotten to a Final 4 any other year, plus he was not highly recruited out of high school and had to go to a smaller school. If he had his choice I’m sure he would have been at Tennessee his entire career. You have to do something extraordinary like winning SEC POY and be one of the top vote getters for National POY for me to give someone VFL status as a one year player.

But I DO know that if I dumped those two blobs of starch my belly'd have room for twice as many ribs and more drink-of-choice!
