Defensive back Nyshier Oliver has committed to Tennessee for the second time this season. Oliver originally committed to the Vols back in June but changed his mind in favor of Notre Dame. His decision to follow his original commitment to Tennessee comes just after Oliver took an official visit to Knoxville this past weekend. Rivals…

Jarvis Giles Commitment. Jarvis Giles, 4-star all purpose back from Gaither, Florida, announced in a press conference earlier today that he plans to enroll at South Carolina in January. Giles initially committed to Tennessee and was very close to Tennessee assistant Stan Drayton. It was believed by many that Giles would end up in Knoxville…

The recruiting rumors are flying fast and furious. Here’s the latest: Quinton Washington (4-star OG) and Alshon Jeffrey (4-star WR) are generating some buzz on the boards. Washington received a visit from Tennessee coaches last week while Jeffrey appears to be set to visit Tennessee in January. Kiffin visited with North Atlanta quarterback Jamal Londry-Jackson…

Here are a few additions to Wednesday’s post. Jarvis Giles is all set to announce his college choice on Tuesday. He will decide between Tennessee, Nebraska and South Carolina. It could get interesting because Giles has “heard” Stan Drayton might remain on Tennessee’s staff. If Kiffin keeps Drayton, he likely gets Giles. Jonahan Hollins talked…

Coach O is coming! Coach O is coming! I admit, I have not been willing to believe any of the “Ed Orgeron to Tennessee” rumors. It just doesn’t make much sense to leave the NFL to take a similar position in college. Clearly that would be a step down. But after listening to Chris Low…

Tyler Smith had Tennessee’s first ever triple-double (12 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) and Bruce Pearl notched his 400th career win as Tennessee cruised past UNC Asheville 87-69 in Thompson Boling Arena on Wednesday night.

It’s being reported by Rivals and local talk radio that Tennessee quarterback commit Tajh Boyd is no longer headed to Knoxville. Indications are that Coach Kiffin informed Boyd he did not fit the system Tennessee is implementing next season. Rivals rates Boyd 4-stars and has him lists as the #3 dual threat quarterback in that…

This is not an all inclusive list by any stretch, but here is a roundup of a few Vol recruits of interest. As we learned from Monday’s press conference, Marlon Brown got Kiffin’s first visit. Brown “feels better” about Tennessee after the visit and thinks Kiffin is “cool”. D.J. Hunter met with Jason Michael and…

We should have a VolNation contest to count the number of threads started on the forums yesterday regarding Lane Kiffin – including the hundreds that were merged by our moderators. The number is probably in the quadrillions. If that’s not proof enough that Tennessee fans have “Kiffin fever”, VolNation members are discussing printing their own…

It’s official. In a 2pm press conference this afternoon, Mike Hamilton introduced Lane Kiffin as Tennessee’s 21st head football coach. Here are a few points that caught my attention: I was a little surprised that Kiffin was so nervous. He was fidgeting with his hands and swaying back and forth like he was slow dancing.…
