Sounds like staff was being cautious but two days off is a big plus. https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/tony-vitello-updates-status-of-hunter-ensley-following-cws-win

More from @Noah-Taylor who was in-stadium for the dominant win:

Vols in cws and the Nashville Tennessean Sunday paper 4 pages on vandy winning couple of nat’l championships past.
More power to them proud for em!
Guess Tennessean sports is localized coverage now! Like a local town paper?

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.

On Dylan Dreiling and the hit that saved Tennessee’s season: https://tennessee.rivals.com/news/dylan-dreiling-delivered-in-biggest-moment-of-tennessee-s-season

Top-seeded Tennessee has a meeting with Florida State set for 7 p.m. ET to open its CWS run.

The Vols will start Chris Stamos while the Seminoles toss Jamie Arnold.
