"Tennessee forward Jeronne Maymon isn’t worried about his playing status for the upcoming season even though he still has work to do in his recovery from an injured left knee that sidelined him last year.Maymon says he feels “between 67 percent and 73 percent,” but he isn’t feeling any pain or discomfort. The 6-foot-7 senior explained the discrepancy by saying he can’t feel as if he’s 100 percent until he’s back in peak condition."

"Tennessee running back Tony Thompson played alongside some incredible names in Knoxville. At first, it seemed he’d be the odd man out with elite runners Reggie Cobb and Chuck Webb standing between him and playing time.As his career unfolded, however, that was far from the case. Thompson became a star throughout a two-year period in 1989-90 when the Vols went 20-3-2 and won a Sugar Bowl over Virginia and the Moores. Thompson’s legend was cemented in 1990 when he finished an All-SEC season with a league-leading 1,261 rushing yards and the game-winning score against the Cavaliers."
