"To the traffic passing by on I-35, it appears to be a mere stadium. To those in the know, it’s a shrine.“This is the cathedral of softball, in my opinion,’’ Ralph Weekly said Wednesday, gesturing to an empty ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.“This is the place that every child who plays softball wants to be.’’Weekly’s Tennessee Lady Vols are one of eight college teams who earned the right to be in that hallowed place this week at the Women’s College World Series."

"Josh Dobbs took more than a few footballs to his spring throwing sessions.When Tennessee’s incoming freshman quarterback went to the turf field at Alpharetta High School to work on his craft, the partial playbook sent to him by the Volunteers’ coaches and his cell phone weren’t far away.Thus neither were Tennessee’s coaches, specifically offensive coordinator Mike Bajakian."

"Returning: SR Rajion Neal; JR Marlin Lane; RS FR Alden Hill; RS SO Tom SmithIncoming: Jabo Lee (3-star)Current 2014 commitments:• Jalen Hurd (6-3/230/Hendersonville, Tenn./5-star): The crown jewel of Jones’ 2014 class thus far, Hurd helped UT fill a major need in this recruiting class when he surprised many with an early commitment in March. He’s got the look of a prospect who could, at worst, split carries with another back and, at best, be an impact freshman in the mold of Georgia’s Todd Gurley from 2012."

From Capstone Report

"Will a coaching change make Tennessee relevant again? Find out in our 2013 Tennessee Football Preview.In only 15 days of spring training, new Volunteer head coach Butch Jones has asked his players to learn an entirely new offensive scheme under a brand new coaching staff. But Jones may be asking a bit too much of his players considering that the roster he’s working with is a bit understaffed in its own right. Luckily for the UT players, the west coast offense is fairly simple and can be grasped quickly when taught correctly."
