FP just 3 weeks away..we have such a young team, so should be interesting and surprising.

Yep this wont be CJH best team by record this season...but its the most talented team across the board since Fulmer was coach. We are just very young/inexperienced at QB...Oline..WR (bigtime)...and LB. This 25 class that are freshmen this season and the 26 class we are signing now will be the classes that bring another Title to Rocky Top. The 25 class was 64% Bluechips...so 2 out of 3 guys are in the Top300 composite. The 26 class will likely end up a little less % wise...but can also be THE best class at UT in the CJH era. So much size and talent on the lines, 2 LBs ranked in top 5 LBs in the country in White and Rouse, and speed speed speed at WR and DB. We even landed a Bluechip Safety in Combay and may well land another one named Tutt. Just a monster class for 2026 headlined of course by Faizon Brandon the best QB in the class.

Its great to be a Tennessee VOL. If we could somehow land RB Hiter or WR Keys this class could be the best this century

Really good movie on Hulu right now called "DejaVu" with Denzel Washington. I have actually never seen a bad movie with Denzel in it...and Ive seen a bunch. All 3 "Equalizer" movies are streaming right now, so is " Man on Fire". Those are all really good movies IMO.

Productive day.

Got an existing exterior faucet working at a rental. Had to tie into the updated cpvc to the existing, old galvanized attached to the faucet. Son helped me which was nice.

Mid year mower maintenance. Changed all fluids and filters before the year started. Today was sharpening the blades, greasing the spindles, and replacing the deck belt (again). Son in Law helped. Also nice. Replaced the transmission belt 2 weeks ago.

It's feels like Satan's sauna out there.

Great breakdown to get you ready for the season. Couple things: both Jadons freshmen LB high 4*s had shoulder surgery and couldnt participate in spring. This likely means more Telander and struggling against the pass at LB. Also Joakim Dodson wasnt an EE due to academics and missed spring too at WR. We are loaded at Dline, but will be much smaller at Dtackle than last season. Pass rush will be fine, but will we be able to stop the run on either side of the Center all game long? Garner gonna have to rotate a lot and freshmen will have to contribute like Campbell. Biggest questions for fall camp as far as pecking order/who starts and plays are:

QB
WR
Safety x2

This is a very young roster everywhere except LEO/Edge and SDE...but very talented. Our entire 2 deep can be 4* guys with a few 5*s sprinkled in. Consensus 5* Edge Jordan Ross for example is likely 3rd team as a sophomore...next year in 26 he will be starter and leader of that group just like Pearce was...except Pearce was a 3* in HS. GO VOLS. Cant wait for ball to start
