The CheckerBoard

Daniel McCullers said he's down to 355 pounds for the first time since he was a freshman in high school.

Jacob Carter said he loves that everyone thinks the Vols won't be any good at WR, because he knows they have a bunch of quality, unselfish guys who can and will make plays. Nate Peterman praised Carter, too, FWIW.

I was able to watch last half of practice today will post some pictures later. Very fast paced practice. Guys sprinted after every play. Most impressed with Peterman he threw some great passes mostly in the under 20 yards range. As Wes has said in the past he throws a great ball. Just looks the part of the QB. Worley looked ok threw one pass that could have easily been picked. Lots of former players at practice including Leonard Little, Bill Bates, Xavier Mitchell, shazzon bradley and Johnny Majors just to name a few.

Tiny Richardson said he's down from 336 to 326 pounds, but that coaches want him even smaller. They want him at 320. He said he can already feel the difference in his knee with the dropped weight. He said UT's previous staff didn't care what he weighed as long as his body fat was low, which it always was.

Are you serious????? That is huge news if he is down to that.
