You really don’t like AP do you! Did he spit at you or something?

Every time a post mentions AP you chime in. Always negative.

Of all the people that cover Tenn sports he has generally been very good. In the portal especially it changes 180 in a blink of an eye.

No problem w him as a person. I even listen to the pod regularly.

I don’t like that he thinks he knows better than a successful HC.

I don’t like that fans think he knows better than a successful HC

I don’t like that many don’t understand that he’s only giving opinions.

But also I generally don’t like much of the local media that covers the Vols so it’s not just specific to AP. He seems to be the one everyone references tho.

But he’s probably right. AP gets feed info. He’s not in the war room. He knows more than we do but he doesn't get to see everything.

I highly doubt he knows who we are targeting until after the coaches/ someone in the AD decides to tell him or until they are already on campus. He also probably doesn't know our budget or the strategy we use. Only thing he knows is what the coaches, AD or actual players have said to him. And then they charge $9.99 to let us know.

Oregon State OL transfer Dylan Sikorski 'liked it all' during visit to Tennessee​


Tennessee hosted Oregon State transfer Dylan Sikorkski on Wednesday, and following the visit, he detailed the brief stop on Rocky Top with Volquest.

“I liked it all,” Sikorski said of the visit. “The coaches were great all day. It has been great all-around.”
Sikorski’s parents were also in town with him, and they joined the visit as well.

“My mom and dad love it here, I think,” he said of this. “They were enjoying it a lot. I think they loved the coaches and the opportunity I have here, too.”

Sikorski connected with Tennessee offensive line coach Glen Elarbee during the brief visit as well.

“Coach Elarbee is great,” Sikorski said of this. “I love his style of coaching. We really went over his coaching style and how he manages players and coaches player, and it is great.”

Sikorski was also impressed by Tennessee Head Coach Josh Heupel as well during the visit.

“I loved him, it was great,” he said of this. “It was cool. We spent time in his office talking. We were just talking about the university and what he likes about it and what I would enjoy about it.”

Sikorski learned more about his fit along the offensive line as well.

“They have one guard spot that I can just battle for,” Sikorski said of this. “They want me to come in and play for it.”
Sikorski has already visited Arkansas and is headed to Texas following his visit to Knoxville. So where do things stand with Vols?

“I love it here,” he said. “We will see what Texas brings to the table and what is different.”

Sikorski said he plans to make a decision following the visit to Texas.

“Definitely the coaches mostly. If I like the coaches more at Texas than I like the coaches here, then that is going to be pretty high on the list, but I don’t know if I will or not. I see this option as a great option. I feel like it is going to be a battle no matter what. You want to be around good players. It is a competition, and I want to be the best, so whoever is in front of me or trying to start over me, then it is what it is.”

Sikorski has three years of eligibility left at the school of his choosing.

Impossible that this is accurate. Heupel was in Martin yesterday. Couldn't be back in Knoxville already.

Losing the CB to Virginia Tech, he mentioned Vols were not spending enough to get the CB in general that went to Virginia Tech.

A better guy entered the portal, and that wasn't an indictment of the staff.

I was disappointed and actually wanted both. Just wait and see. All we can do......except bitch and moan.

It’s literally his job. People are coming at him all the time, he gets paid to give his opinion. He and Hubbs both say thats why the coaches get paid millions.
