Unless he runs every drill at pro day with acceptable metrics, Hood will be picked before him. I’m definitely pulling for the kid and he’s clearly talented, but agents man. Don’t ever forget the screw job Heath Shuler’s agent put on him. Advising him to hold out in preseason and putting his...

Yes, one is set up. According to the write up Wes did not have life insurance as he was still working through the new job transition. https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-teamrucker

Brent Hubbs announced on 1-5-26 that Rob was retiring from Volquest. It was a very heartfelt post, wishing him much happiness in retirement. That said, given he was the lead basketball writer, I don’t understand why he wouldn’t wait until the end of the season. I have no insider information, but...

Good grief… Good news is Poindexter can keep a band aid on things from an install standpoint until a replacement is found.

Those years were my introduction to Vol hoops. Never missed a John Ward (Bottom!) radio call or the UTV replays. Bernard King was the quickest leaper I’ve ever seen and Ernie owned the corner and the free throw line. Halcyon days. 🏀

Kemon Spell has now committed to Georgia. That should be a big help to us on DG.

I was at UT when Devoe was coach, so I got to see a bunch of his games in Stokely Center with Dale Ellis, Gary Carter, Howard Wood and Michael Brooks. So much fun. I also went to numerous practices and I’m not sure I ever heard a coach cuss more than Don Devoe. He was a riot sometimes to listen to.

If Derek Owings works his S&C magic DT will be just fine. Yes, one more experienced guy would be nice but not the end of the world if we've missed out.

That would be a hoot. The round mound of touchdown was an anomaly. The Pilsbury Throwboy. Food World. Weight matters less than strength. By next fall GMac will be in fine shape and ready for the grind. If he gets to 215 no worries. As long as he can read the D and sling it I’m ready…

If our defense improves into the top 30 and our offense stays in the top 10, we will have a shot at the playoff again. Schedule ain’t favorable but good defense goes a long way. Still need a DT or 2…

Cignetti is a great coach, and Indiana will be good as long as he is there. The old curmudgeon is Saban 2.0, and we better all get used to it.

Too bad we didn’t have an opening. Having a hall of fame tight end as your tight ends coach is about as good as it gets. Hopefully he would jump back to East Tn if the opportunity arose…

I really hate that Heup is caught in this position. If you get a commitment from Leavitt then GMac might portal. You can't go into a season with only 2 quarterbacks, and there is zero visibility on resolution of Joey's court case. Unlimited portal movement is going to kill this sport unless...

Money is the lifeblood of the athletic department, and the entertainment district will bring in a lot of it. The whole thing is win-win. Go Danny go. He understands this business as well as anyone.

Volquest sources say Andrew Jackson will coach the Edge position. Make of this what you will.
