Big time, big time. I'm going to say one more time, big time commits for Tennessee and Josh Heibel as Salisi Moa commits to the University of Tennessee, making it the 23rd commit of the class and the fifth top 100 prospect in the class for the volunteers. It's pretty good. That's pretty good. We'll break down this commitment more here in segment number one. Practice observations from these two eyeballs from practice number two yesterday for Tennessee

football fall camp in segment number two. And then scouting the opponent, we're going to get back

to that series here in segment number three, taking a look at the ETSU buck. So, so Lacey Moa,

really, really big pick up here for Tennessee because because, again, Tennessee was always in it.

Don't get me wrong, but the favorite was always Utah.

Why?

Well, he is from just outside Salt Lake City, okay?

His father played at Utah.

I would go out on a limb here and say all of his friends, all of his family members, certainly his intermediate family, right?

Our immediate family is all Utah fans.

But Tennessee was never out of this.

Tennessee was obviously in this one.

And I think playing in the Southeastern Conference was a really, really big deal for Moa.

And Tennessee ends up beating Utah.

And when you think about like when it comes down to it, Tennessee or Utah, Tennessee or Utah, a lot of people would be like, well, Southeastern conference, Tennessee, the brand against a team like Utah, a program like Utah. And that's no disrespect to the youths. I'm just saying, you know, if you have your chance to go to Tennessee or Utah, odds are the top, you know, if you're a top 50 prospect in the country, you're going to pick Tennessee. Like it wouldn't be close normally, right? Well, this one is a bit of a different deal, okay? And, you know, the youths obviously were the favorite and Tennessee just kept going, just kept persisting and persisting. And this one went up to the end. Again, there's been a couple like this, right?
