Another four-star committing to Tennessee football, baseball summer league, and restoring the 1990s headline the Vols news on Rocky Top for Friday, July 22.

Well one political circus is over. Now we have one more to go next week. Happy Friday to everybody on the morning after the Republican National Convention in Cleveland ended.

We are at an awkward moment between conventions as the Democrats gear up for their convention next week in Philadelphia.

But enough political news. Onto Tennessee Vols stuff.

Recruiting news is still dominating the headlines, as Butch Jones continues to have a great week in that field. On top of that, though, we’ve got some baseball news.

And we’ll share with you a nice feature about Tennessee football and the 1990s. First, though, let’s start with the recruiting splash.

Rivals four-star wide receiver commits to Tennessee – Will Sammon of The Clarion Ledger

"Hattiesburg wide receiver Jordan Murphy, who was named as a Dandy Dozen, verbally committed Thursday night to Tennessee while on a visit to the school, he confirmed to The Clarion-Ledger.Murphy recently called Tennessee his top choice, so it’s no surprise to see him pull the trigger."

Tennessee, Michigan, Washington bringing back the 1990s? – Michael Bird of SBNation

"On New Year’s Day 2001, Michigan, Tennessee and Washington fans could have been forgiven for thinking that their futures were bright.Michigan had just won a share of a Big Ten title, its third in four years, and was about to play in the Citrus Bowl. Tennessee had ended a rebuilding season on a six-game winning streak and was about to play in the Cotton Bowl. And Washington was in the Rose Bowl, feeling legitimately aggrieved that it had been left out of the BCS Championship at 10-1.The futures of all three were about to take a 15-year slide."
