Four Vols honored for improvements

Four Tennessee players impressed coaches enough to earn most improved honors during spring practice.

On defense, end Robert Ayers and cornerback DeAngelo Willingham shared the Andy Spiva Award as the most improved players.

On offense, wide receiver Ahmad Paige and tight end Luke Stocker earned the Harvey Robinson Award.

Tennessee holds its final practice this afternoon in advance of Saturday's Orange and White Game.

Fan Day Plans: In the event of inclement weather Saturday, Tennessee's Fan Day will not take place as scheduled.

Fan Day, which makes players and coaches available for autographs and photos, is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Haslam Field.

In the event of rain, the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center is unavailable because of recruits who will be visiting campus. Per NCAA rules, fans and boosters are prohibited from meeting.

What's to keep fans and boosters from meeting recruits on Haslam Field as opposed to the Neyland-Thomspon Sports Center. It seems as if UT can keep these young men off Haslam for a one hour and fifteen minutes they should be able to keep them out of the complex for the same amount of time.

FWBVol, you just need to leave the details to the UTAD, I'm sure they have a handle on it.

Sounds very difficult to enforce. You might have a sentence truncation on your ha

"Per NCAA rules, fans and boosters are prohibited from meeting." Do you think someone should remind Bama of this little tidbit?

Nice awards for the players who have worked to get better.
