Plenty of news from Tennessee this morning:
Lane Kiffin believes new strength coach Aaron Ausmus “fits better with the direction of where we’re going just because we’re familiar with him.”
Tennessee’s football team just had its highest GPA for a semester in five years. There have also been ZERO arrests since Kiffin took over the team last December.
Kiffin says the older members of the team are giving him good reports on the workout habits of UT’s incoming freshmen.
UT has hired Steve Rubio away from Central Florida to become a recruiting intern. So it’s better to intern at UT than to be “director of player personnel” for D-I UCF?
Tennessee’s September 12th game with UCLA will be a 4pm ET kickoff on ESPN.
In basketball news, Tyler Smith is taking 1,500 shots a day and working on his dribble in hopes of improving his game before next year’s NBA draft.
