'This visit was just special,' four-star running back Tyson Robison told Ray. 'Just sitting in the position meetings and watching different things. Just talking to Coach Sims and Coach Heupel was just great. Coach Heupel just connects with players, and I love it.'
Robinson suggested the more he is Knoxville, the more he likes the program, which now sits at or near the top of his school rankings.
"High. High," Robinson said when asked where Tennessee is in his recruiting after the weekend. "They are very high for me."

'Each time here is just different,' Robinson added. 'Like my first time here, we talked about inside zone, and we just keep talking about more and more, like this time we talked about blocking schemes and triangle schemes.
"Just coaching points that you can take and learn, so I think it is more beneficial to me.'
Ray reported Friday that Robinson is already planning two more visits to Knoxville. The running back "hopes to return" to Tennessee's campus again in June.
Robinson is also planning to be at Neyland Stadium for the matchup against the Georgia Bulldogs this fall.
The 247 Sports composite rankings have Robinson rated as the No. 3 running back and No. 2 Mississippi prospect in the 2027 recruiting class.

How hard will the Nets dip into the NBA restricted free-agency market?
The Brooklyn Nets head into the 2025 NBA offseason with a myriad of ways in which they can improve the roster, from the 2025 NBA Draft to free-agency. Brooklyn has four first-round picks to use in the upcoming Draft, but they will have to use free-agency to build the rest of the team around their incoming rookies, but it will be interesting to see how they approach free-agency. "Others around the league have wondered if Brooklyn would dip into the restricted free agent market this summer with players such as Josh Giddey, Jonathan Kuminga, Santi Aldama, and Quentin Grimes all available," HoopsHype's Michael Scotto wrote earlier in May. Free-agency in this current landscape in the league is usually not about the best players given that those guys usually have player options, but the restricted free-agents are the interesting cases. Advertisement Per HoopsHype, the best player available this summer that doesn't have a player option is Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner and the run that the Pacers are on right now in the Eastern Conference playoffs, it's safe to say that Turner is returning to Indiana. Giddey, who played for the Chicago Bulls this season, is coming off an impressive season as he averaged 14.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.2 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 46.5% from the field and 37.8% from three-point land. Kuminga, who has had an uneven career during his time with the Golden State Warriors, is coming off a season with averages of 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per contest while shooting 45.4% from the floor and 30.5% from deep. Aldama, who played power forward and center for the Memphis Grizzlies, has an interesting profile heading into restricted free-agency as he is averaging 12.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game on 48.3/36.8/69.1 shooting splits. Lastly, Grimes, who split last season between the Dallas Mavericks and Philadelphia 76ers, increased his status significantly since landing in Philadelphia as he averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.5 steals per game while shooting 46.9% from the field and 37.3% from behind the three-point line. All four of these players are sure to get significant pay raises this summer, but it will be interesting to see if any of them will be in Brooklyn next season.

Dortmund training plan altered due to Panthers' victory parade
Coach Niko Kovac walks across the pitch during a training session of the German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund. Bernd Thissen/dpa Borussia Dortmund have had to adjust their training plans in the United States due to a victory parade for Stanley Cup champions the Florida Panthers. After returning to Florida following their 4-3 victory in the Club World Cup against Mamelodi Sundowns in Cincinnati, the Germans had originally planned to train early on Sunday at Inter Miami's facility in Fort Lauderdale. Advertisement However, their plans were disrupted because of the Panthers' parade along the beach-front promenade where Dortmund's hotel is located. Fearing traffic chaos during travel to and from the training site, Dortmund pushed back the session. The change also affected around 150 invited Dortmund fans who were supposed to attend the training session. According to the club, they will now be offered another opportunity to watch training during the tournament. More than 200,000 people were expected to attend the Panthers' parade after they defeated the Edmonton Oilers during the week in the NHL finals for the second consecutive year.
