"Robert Hubbs sat unassumingly listening to music on his headphones last Wednesday night, his 6-foot-5 frame sprawled across the bleachers of the Christian Academy of Knoxville gym and his Tennessee basketball gear the only items betraying his anonymity.There’s also the five-star rating attached to the Volunteers’ prized freshman’s name that renders moot his understated appearance.Many eyes at the Rocky Top League are on Hubbs during his unofficial debut, and the expectations began piling up on his shoulders when he committed to Cuonzo Martin and the Vols last September."

They’re in the hands of (strength coach) Dave Lawson (and his staff). But when they come up, to see the transformations in their bodies is unbelievable.”"

"Rainey Gaffin’s offensive talent was obvious during her freshman season with Tennessee’s softball team.She batted .290 and delivered more than one key hit as the Lady Vols advanced to the Women’s College World Series and finished second to Oklahoma.Gaffin, however, has only scratched the surface of her potential according to Ralph Weekly. Not only does the co-head coach foresee the highly recruited Gaffin maturing into a starter in the field and a more dangerous batter as her career continues, but he also believes she could move back to a position she dominated in high school — pitcher."
