Updated. Also, calculated the years 2018-2021 classes as those should be the classes to support 2023.

From @Noah-Taylor:

Jabari Small is typically not Tennessee's leading rusher in games, but the running back is consistently capitalizing on drives for the Vols.

He values his role as the cleanup guy.

"Whatever they want me to take for the game, that's what I try to do."

Good morning, all. Tennessee just wrapped up media availability with offensive players and quarterbacks coach Joey Halzle. @Noah-Taylor and I are here and got plenty of good interviews.

In this thread you can find a few of our interviews and notes, and we've got content coming throughout the day and all week.

Thanks for following along!

Tennessee defensive end Tyler Baron's stay in the transfer portal was short-lived. Baron officially entered the transfer portal yesterday afternoon after extensive conversations with Rodney Garner and Josh Heupel. The news was first reported by Matt Zenits of ON3 Sports.

However, Volunteer Country on Sports Illustrated can confirm, Baron has withdrawn his name from the portal today.

Baron, a key member of the Tennessee 2020 recruiting class which has been decimated by transfers since Jeremy Pruitt was fired at Tennessee, appears to be content with staying on Rocky Top at this time.

Tennessee defensive coordinator Tim Banks and select players met with the media in Miami this morning.

From @Ryan Sylvia:

This is what I thought this team would look like. A good inside out game with some phenomenal 3 point shooting. Pissott has all the confidence in the world.

Following the holiday break, Tennessee (7-6) returns home to play Wofford (9-3) in its final game before SEC play begins.

Tennessee will open up conference play with a trip to Florida on Thursday.

Makes you wonder if this is the norm and all those players who get elevated to possibly get in the NFL just turn left and opt out.. Money speaks agents family friends all looking for the paycheck and riding the coattails of those players that are good. Makes bowls meaningless in future. I'm going to Miami but might not have booked if all our players that are great dont play. NIL and chance for big money has ruined college sports and ammatuer sports.

Have 2 club level tickets available. Paid face value weeks ago when game was announced but flight cancelations have unfortunately made the trip not doable. Will take less than face. Email at keenanjo1@aol.com if interested. GBO!

We have 2 together for the Orange Bowl. The seats are in the TN allotment section 110 row 22. Aisle seats. The tickets are $145 ea. (less than face value $198 ea.) If you are interested you can text me at 615-795-3655

In this episode of Checkerboard Chatter, Tyler Ivens is joined by Neal McCready from RebelGrove.com to preview Tennessee men's basketball's SEC opener at Ole Miss on Wednesday night.

From @Noah-Taylor:

Trader shared his top five, we break it down.

What grade did Tennessee get for the ESP?

Epic collapse this season and he hired and retained this garbage OC way too long.

Also clearly started the wrong QB today.....no way Dobbs is that bad

I'd cut Willis asap..... useless and no upside for development

Ga and Ohio State are on today and tomorrow for a very long session.

From @Ryan Sylvia:

As happy as I was to see JSU lose their last game, I'm still tipping my hat to Coach Prime. He didn't bail on his team with a bowl game left to play.

As football season comes to a close let’s see if the board can predict who will win this year’s Super Bowl. As things stand today I gave the top 3 seeds in the AFC and NFC, and the other option. Mathematically my New Orleans Saints are still alive in the terrible NFC South at 5-9.

Some one post it Charlie Daniels’ would be a fitting rendition
