One of Tennessee’s SEC rivals is a team that Dallas Brannon grew up liking. However, it didn’t lessen his excitement when the Vols
were added to the list of teams interested in signing him during his first visit to Knoxville earlier this month.
The linebacker from Charlotte, North Carolina’s Independence High School, class of 2026, made his first trip to Tennessee on
February 3 to attend the Vols’ first junior day of the season. He left with an offer of scholarship from the university. For Brannon, the
son of former Georgia tight end Robert Brannon, it was his second SEC offer.
A day after Wake Forest lost to Virginia 49-47 in the first quarter, another sad opportunity, the sun has risen.
Here, a number of statements are simultaneously true:
– Wake Forest has blatantly wasted three chances to win a Quad One, which would greatly increase Wake’s chances of winning in
March.
Wake Forest has three chances to improve their record over the next six games and play 67% of their games in the Joel, where they are
unbeaten, but they are still well below the cut line thanks to their excellent underlying stats.
Not everything is sunshine and roses, and not everything is melting down. Although this squad now has problems, we’ve also seen
them overcome them when playing against strong opponents like

We’re in put up or shut up mode because of everything that’s in front of Wake. They must demonstrate their eligibility to play in a
tournament. If they had defeated Virginia yesterday, NC State away, or even one of Duke and Carolina, that would not have changed.
Even though it would have made things simpler, if you didn’t play well over the next six games, you wouldn’t be a team that made it to
the dance.
There are always trends that become apparent as arithmetic advances. It may stretch into two games, two months, or the full year.
Some have been uplifting, while others have been dull. I looked at five items that have captured my
GOOD: MINUTES UP IN STATUS
For this team, Parker Friedrichsen has been a revelation. When first-year freshmen perform, there should always be some reluctance.
If first-year students were expected to contribute on a constant basis, they wouldn’t be flocking to the portal. Only 7% of the top 200
players in the nation are freshman, which is the lowest percentage we’ve ever seen, according to Evan Miya. Spot minutes are what
they are, but it’s difficult to defend providing minutes to someone who probably needs a year in the physical and mental weight room
unless they are really showing out.
