Absolutely! It'll be neat to watch the Tree steadily grow and branch out. Love the VFL beginnings!

Hopefully the 1st of many. Evan Russell mentioned in a press conference a few weeks back that he’d like to get into coaching…..

Unfortunately, the NCAA makes it difficult for young coaches to get into the profession, which sucks for a lot of guys!!

Nice.

How many days until first pitch?

He’ll eventually have to leave but maybe by the time we need him, he’ll be up to the task.

But…for now…not a bad place to start out!

And the Vol diamond mine keeps growing. Welcome aboard, Coach Jackson!

Richard Jackson was the pitching version of Evan Russell, so…there is technically a student coaching job open right now…I ain’t right sure Evan is done playing yet, though.

It's a lot shorter wait when you go to the CWS. I can get used to this.

The wait for this season was hell.

Having Coach Tony Vitello and Coach Frank Anderson as your mentors, I’d agree!

I agree. Pretty awesome to see we have this next man up thing going on. I think we are going to have a Vol coaching tree growing here.

Nice addition to the coaching staff.

He is a really good guy from what we have seen. My son used to go to several of the UT camps. We got to know Ross and Richard was always around during the camps. He seems to have a good personality and was very good with the kids and people in general.

Is a volunteer assistant really a volunteer?

All money comes from camps. They don’t receive any benefits from the University. They have big roles on the staff and is considered a full time assistant. They just can’t go on the road and recruit. They need a 3rd assistant in the sport but the NCAA is the NCAA.

NCAA has bigger fish to fry, like f*****g college kids out of a championship opportunity with their virtue signaling curtain call. Give em a break, damn.
