Like other recruits in recent weeks, Edwards – who says his finalists are Tennessee, Minnesota and Cincinnati -- raved about the recruiting experience this weekend inside Neyland Stadium.

"The stadium was, 'Wow!'," he said. "There was nobody in there but just the intensity of coaches and how they pumped us up, they had it like it was gameday. They let us try on a jersey and everything. That stadium is ... I've never seen anything like that."

Hoping to earn early playing time wherever he signs, Edwards said the promise of such an opportunity was a common one in the recruiting process. But he believe that opportunity is more genuine at Tennessee.

"That's what I'm trying to do, if I did come," Edwards said of playing early. "That's what they say at all the schools, but it just seems like it's real at Tennessee. Everybody's starting on the same level with the new coaches. The upperclassmen don't have any upper hand on anybody. If you compete and are a better player, you're going to get the job."

And now, Edwards says, he'll spend the next 10 days deciding where he's going to compete.

"My trip was great. It was a good trip. As far as Tennessee goes, it was a good overall trip," said Edwards, who indicated both Oklahoma and Syracuse recently had shown interest. "Everything's out there. I just want to see and sit back and think about everything that's been said and thrown at me. I just want to relax and take it all in and be able to make my decision."

Rivals.com rates Edwards a three-star prospect and the No. 48 cornerback in the nation.

(Part II)

Rhea County offensive lineman Kevin Revis always knew that he wanted to play for Tennessee. He was in Knoxville over the weekend trying to learn about the new Vol staff and help recruit other players that might want to wear the orange and white.

"It was really good," Revis said. "I got to meet the players again and know the new coaches. I also hung out with the prospects. I made sure to talk to everyone of them and tell them this is best place to be. I felt like a lot of kids are feeling good about it."

Revis has been to Knoxville several times. Seeing the academic side and all of the facilities was obviously nice, but he's been there and done that. This trip was different due to the activities.

"The basketball game was cool," Revis said. "Coach Kiffin took us in the locker room and they had jersey's for us to put on and we ran out like it was real game. We all took a picture together with the our jersey on. It was a great experience."

During the basketball game, the crowd of over 20,000 fans gave the prospects a very nice ovation. That was a moment that left Revis and the others in shock.

"That definitely showed how committed everyone in the state is," Revis said. "That is one of the things that separate Tennessee from other schools. The fan base is just great and that plays a roll in recruiting."

During the down time, Revis got to know the coaching staff and he tried to focus on building a relationship with the coach that will be teaching him how to become a better player.

"I talked to coach Cheney a lot," Revis said. "He's going to be coaching the guards and centers so it was good to spend time getting to know him. I also spent time with coach Cregg. As for the players I spent a lot of time with Carson Anderson who was my host and Ben Bartholomew."

Revis says he learned two things from his visit that let him know that the new look Tennessee staff was ready to put Tennessee back in the championship mix.

"I learned that they are going to coach with a lot of intensity," Revis said. "They are also going to have a lot of discipline and I think that is what the program needs. I also learned that the players are great, no matter what grade they are in. Nobody is stuck up."

Revis made the short trip back to Rhea County on Sunday afternoon with one mission to complete before he arrives for good this summer. He's has to get bigger, faster, and stronger.

"They told me to hit the weights and start running," Revis said. "They told me to get to work and to make sure I come in as big as I can and as fast as I can."

Revis might not wait till the summer time to come back, he said he might be back in Knoxville next weekend to help the recruiting efforts.

"Who knows, I may come in next weekend since I live so close and try and help recruit a little bit," Revis said with a laugh. "It's just an hour drive."

My condolences to the family. God Bless and keep you thru this difficult time.

NoogaVol55......YOU...are my new best friend! AMEN AND ditto!!

You're right on both accounts.

I agree, but GA is big and we did alright. Of course they were 40% beyond the 3-point arc. I think we played man to man well at times and at times GA could have driven a truck to the basket.

Are you talking about everyone or just yabba? Doesn't seem right to generalize. We're fans of varying degrees of experience. Diversity is a GOOD thing.

That's what I'm talkin' about!!! Take the W!

I beg to differ Goshdarn. If we win every game by one, it's still a win. Now they know they can finish.

We got it!! We just got to finish. Up by one with 3:58 left. We can do this!!

We really need to find the chemistry to be a team. Looks like a bunch of talented young guys in a pick-up game. I know CBP sees it. It will improve. I just hope it comes together before tournament time.

Missing layups and Prince doing an "O-fer" on free throws. Still, We're up at the half in GA. Can't complain too much. GO VOLS!!

We got no "ups". Our guys have no air between the floor and their shoes on the rebounds.

I think if we play it inside on offense and stay man to man, we should be ok.

Thank You!! Something sports related. Something beats nothing......any day of the week.

Now THAT'S funny!!

You have GOT to be kidding me! Do us all a favor and put this in the "variety" or "business" section of the paper.

Next????

I'm in Kuwait. TNfaninMS, what do you have on the RG situation?
