With both squads coming off a walk-off win in their opening matches, Tennessee and North Carolina will now meet in a crucial second game of the CWS in the winner's bracket.

Winner is a win away from the CWS finals with a loss to spare. Loser will need to rattle off three straight wins including a pair against tonight's opponent.

Previewing tonight's matchup:

Dale caught up with DaSaahn Brame as he left his official visit today:

Big12, Conference USA both looking at partnering with companies for naming rights.

Since flying out with the bases loaded in the super regional game two, he is 7-for-9 with three home runs, two doubles and a triple...

The last top 10 RB out of state that UT signed might be Bryce Brown and APB David Oku iirc

The last in-state HS RB that was top 10 Ty Chandler and Eric Gray and then Jalen Hurd before those two. UT did grab Kamara in 2015 when Bama messed up not playing him and he transferred.

Since those instate guys UTs hasn't signed even a top 20 RB iirc.

I understand they can be developed and RB appears to be a low priority for this staff/ offense in NIL$ but UT should be capable of signing a top 10 HS RB out of state occasionally vs 15 years ago. If it wasn't for 3 instate RBs I wonder if UT would have ever signed a top 10 RB out of HS since Kiffin was here.

As the summer AAU and showcase season for basketball is already underway, thought I’d make this for updates over the recruiting cycle

Tennessee has been mentioned with several high-profile players in 2025 and it should be a big class and a change of pace with everyone that will be leaving after next year

A look at some big names here:

Former Tennessee OL Antone Davis is up next in our countdown to kickoff: https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/tennessee-football-jersey-countdown-no-78-antone-davis

Paul Mainieri and LSU fell to Tennessee. Vols punched their ticket to Omaha for the first time since 2005.

Three years later... Tennessee is back in Omaha for the third time in four years and Mainieri is being introduced as South Carolina's head coach.
