Vols show up at fourth, one spot below Gonzaga.

Happy to get that level of respect, but that seems a bit high to me.

We are an Everything School now and by god if our fanbase doesn’t deserve it.

More good news.

We all know that preseason rankings are meaningless, but our football team has the best resume in the country and is ranked 3 or 4 due to starting the season out of the top 20. After watching the scrimmage Saturday I’m even more optimistic for this basketball season and think we have a legit top 10 roster. Will be fun see UT ranked highly all season and hopefully a favorable March madness seeding as a result.

In this article it mentions Tyrese Hunters recruitment and a snitch. Does anybody know what this is about?
Here's clip from article with link below.
The Longhorns also ended up with one of the top transfer-portal point guards in Iowa State’s Tyrese Hunter, who won the Big-12 Freshman of the Year last season. The Vols were actually favored to land Hunter in his re-recruitment, until some snitches came crying about tampering. As is, Hunter chose to play at the lowercase ut instead. And no, I’m not sour about it — why do you ask?
Tennessee opens season ranked No. 4 in KenPom

I recall it being discussed on here that the Iowa State coaching staff made a tampering claim and Barnes choose to quit recruiting. Don’t recall the claim being specific to Tennessee

I think that involved the kid from St. Louis University.

Guessing they got him mixed up with Yuri Collins from SLU.

I want to see Tennessee get into one Final Four during my life time. I turned 57 last week.

Me too. When I was a kid, the Final Four was 2nd to only the Super Bowl in my favorite sports championship. I've dreamed of the Vols making it, of course I wanna win it all, but I'll take just making it, with a week of Tennessee and Barnes hype. Makes the next one, easier

They have Auburn over Arkansas?
