Volquest answers your Tennessee baseball, football & recruiting questions in the July 4 mailbag
00:32 ImissDenariusMoore: Can you talk to us about how this football staff builds its recruiting board? Is it something where the position coaches have more autonomy to get "their guys" or is it more of a collaborative project? Is this different from the approaches of previous staffs?
2:10 Competition Orange: In the chat it seemed like it was a given that CJH would not take Nico to SEC Media Days - why not? It seems like he would be one of the more obvious choices in recent years
8:28 RunThroughTheT: Who are some big targets early for Vol Football in the 2026 class? Outside of Fazion Brandon. Any Vol legacy’s in that class?
10:14 Could the Vols ever win a championship at this rate of always getting low rated DB’s/ safety’s?
12:13 Swagger12: IYO: Which recruit is MOST likely to commit to the vols that is not a current lean to Tenn?
16:04 RTrain98: Rank these safeties in order: Dale Carter, Deon Grant, and Eric Berry. All were obviously great players during their time at Tennessee. Do y'all have any good stories on any of them, specifically Dale Carter? I've always heard that he was a bad dude that no one wanted to mess with.
23:40 DavyVol: What is the most important coaching trait that Tony Vitello has that has allowed him to be so successful at Tennessee?
27:08 Vol Grad 05: What is the plan looking like for the entertainment district? Will it be a mini version of the Atlanta Battery with a large group watch spot for games?
32:11 ThatVolGuy: I know there's been talk of the timeline for baseball stadium renovations shifting, meaning the project won't be complete at the start of the 2025 season. But I read a comment here recently that suggested the scope of the project might be scaled down, much the same way schools like Ole Miss are delaying (or maybe even cancelling) planned baseball facility upgrades to focus $$ on football. I didn't see any follow up, and I have no idea if the comment came from a credible source, so I'm just curious if anything has changed or if it's still full steam ahead on the original $100 million plan.
34:55 SamSmith2233: Cain, Tennessee, is big game hunting in the portal. How do you balance getting dudes but also leaving room for your top-ranked freshmen class and not upsetting team chemistry?
39:09 Rank these QB’s Tennessee will see in 24: Grayson McCall, Jackson Arnold, Brock Vandagriff and Graham Mertz
42:34 Zeusify: Is NC State playing on a thursday before our game an advantage to them or not really a factor?
44:32 Pine: Could Will Brooks be the Zander Sechrist of this football team? Can you break down his game, athleticism, and what the coaches see in him?
47:14 Which current 3 star commits do you think might get a bump? Which 3 star commit do you think is the most underrated or a really good fit for UT?
Sidney Walton S
Antoni Kade Ogumoro IOL
Dylan Lewis CB
Justin Baker RB
Tre Poteat CB
Joakim Dodson WR
Charles House DL
Tyler Redmond CB
48:40 Rheltney 4 Life: What is UT looking for in the baseball portal?
49:47 Unfortunately, Ariel Antiqua's early season injury caused us not to get a good glimpse of his full all around potential. What are reasonable expectations offensively for him going forward?
50:55 NWGAVOL: Pick a win that would mean the most and a loss that would hurt the worst in the upcoming season for Josh Heupel out of this group: Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia
