The commute to class may have just become more difficult. CycleUshare, the nation’s first electric bicycle sharing system, has been shut down indefinitely due to a lack of university funding Christopher Cherry, associate professor and founder of the cycleUshare research project, said. The system, composed of two stations located in Presidential Court and on the Institute of Agriculture campus, made use of bicycles equipped with rechargeable, electric motors designed to aid participating users in pedaling as well as in overcoming the many hills on campus. Originally launched as a research project, the system was free to participating users while in service and provided an alternate means of transportation across Knoxville’s expansive campus. “There came a point when we
proposed to the University what it would take to continue the program,” Cherry said of his proposal to continue cycleUshare. “They’re interested in having it, but not interested in funding it.” While Cherry acknowledges the lack of a “significant future” for electric bike sharing at UT, he hopes that a current research proposal with Knoxville Area Transit could help to “integrate bike share and electric bike share with the bus system,” and thus continue the city’s trend towards alternative means of transportation. Though Cherry may find hope in an immediate expansion of e-bikes across the city, his optimism is not shared by all. Kelley Segars, principal planner of the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning Organization, described cycleUshare as “a great program for UT,” but recognized the difficulties associated with its expansion to the city at large.

Unlike the rest of this year’s signing class, these players were raised by parents who already knew what it meant to be a Vol. But instead of forcing the orange and white into their children’s lives, the parents of the legacy players elected to allow their sons to choose their own path and go where their hearts led them. On Friday, July 18, the legacy players were made available to the media, an unprecedented move by UT athletics. All six players preached the same message: their former Vol parents never urged them to sign with Tennessee. “My dad never pressured me into anything with Tennessee football,” freshman linebacker Dillon Bates said of his father, Tennessee legend Bill Bates. “He did a great job of giving me a chance to look around - Dillon Bates and explore my options to make my own decision.” Bates recognized early on how important a resource his dad would be for him. Bill Bates wasn’t just a father to Dillon; he was played. Although Vol fans may have elevated a mentor. “Talking to my dad was the greatest expectations for Bates and his fellow legacy resource I could pretty much ask for,” Bates players, he insists he and his new teammates said. “Talking to him every day has helped don’t feel any added pressure. “Really there’s not a lot of pressure,” he me understand the game, and it’s been a great help having him for advice for my said. “It’s more about everybody knowing what they have to do, knowing that they game and my maturity.” Even though Bill never pressured Dillon have to go every day and go as hard as we

can.” The legacy class as a whole is already forming bonds, and they are embracing the “family” culture head coach Butch Jones has preached to his entire team. Bates said that a lot of the freshman players “stick together and all push each other,” and they all hold each other accountable in practices and off the field as well. When asked about what he expects to do in his first season with the Vols, Bates didn’t speculate on earning a starting spot or winning any accolades as a freshman. “It’s more about what I can do to help the team and be the best teammate I can be,” he said. Fellow linebacker and All-American A.J. Johnson is excited for what is to come from Bates this season and seeing him perform in training camp. “If you ask him what to call, he is going to shoo the call out with ease,” Johnson said of his new teammate. “We’ve been in the film room and we’ve been doing drills as linebackers. I’m ready for him to get the pads on. He works real hard and he runs well. When he gets the pads on he’s going to show it all off.” Although Bates and his fellow legacy players have a link to Tennessee’s storied history, they refuse to look back at the most recent past in terms of the Vols’ performance. Instead of focusing on the four consecutive losing seasons the Vols have suffered, Bates and his teammates focus on the present. “It’s about taking it one day at a time, not looking at the past and past seasons,” Bates said. “It’s all about looking at what we can do right now to bring us back to where we’re supposed to be.”

The School of Journalism offers a variety of scholarships and internships for its students. But there is one opportunity that might cause students to do a double take — an internship with “Playboy” magazine. The Alex Haley/Playboy Interview Scholarship and Internship in Magazine Journalism was established at UT in October 1992 to commemorate Haley’s association with Playboy and the 30th anniversary of the Playboy Interviews—articles that shaped and continue to set the bar for the interview as a journalistic institution. Haley, who served as a popular adjunct professor at UT in the 1980s, inaugurated the Playboy Interview in 1962 with his article on jazz musician Miles Davis. This piece was quickly followed by his interviews for “Playboy” with some of America’s most famous figures such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. Haley continued to contribute to the magazine throughout

his career. After Haley’s death in 1992, Playboy approached the University in the hopes of establishing a scholarship in his memory. Though no longer offered as of 2014, the scholarship provided an annual stipend of $5,000 to a student of professional promise and included a summer internship at the editorial offices of Playboy in New York City. It was required that the recipient be enrolled as a full time undergraduate upperclassman or master’s degree student with a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the school’s journalism program. Former recipients of the scholarship have gone on to work at major publications such as “Glamour” and “Cosmopolitan.” Jessica Campbell, a 2013 graduate and former Playboy scholarship recipient, now works for “Southern Living.” “Learning to live on my own in a big city required such personal growth,” Campbell said, “and working for a national brand required the same growth in a professional sense.” Campbell was one of two interns responsible for fact checking a variety of articles, proof reading past interviews to prepare
them for eBooks, curating quotes for social media and transcribing interviews. “The hardest part was just adjusting to a work environment where your team members were your supervisors not your peers,” Campbell said. “And learning how to work with the variations in personalities that come with working in a team.” The Playboy internship has been met with some skepticism due to the publication’s more infamous attributes. “I thought it was hilarious and I wanted to apply for it,” Jessica Yonker, a 2012 graduate, said. “But I can’t help but think trying to mention working for Playboy would get a chuckle out of everyone you encountered.” Though the internship is no longer offered, Campbell said she believes the Playboy internship was the most important experience of her time at UT and helped translate into a career at “Southern Living.” “I think that if a student has the means, they should strive for an internship at a national publication.” For more information on the Alex Haley/ Playboy Interview Scholarship, contact Elizabeth Hendrickson at ehendri2@utk. edu.

Warlick reflects on team unity during offseason Scott Carter Contributor Throughout the offseason, the Lady Vols coaching staff spend hours on the road looking for the next class of Lady Vols. But talent alone doesn’t automatically catch the attention of head coach Holly Warlick and her staff. In order to be a part of the winningest program in women’s college basketball, it takes a well-rounded player that represents Tennessee with grace on and off the field. “Obviously, we want to recruit the best players, and we’re going to recruit talent,” Warlick said. “You’ve got to see what fits into your needs and your program. “I think for us, though, it goes beyond talent. How do you fit into this program as far as what we want to do on the court, what we want to do in the classroom? How do you carry yourself off the court and take care of your own business? We take that into a tremendous amount of consideration.” Sometimes, off-the-court facets of a potential recruits’ life play a deciding role in their future with Tennessee. “We’ve had a kid in the past who was highly, highly up in the charts, but her Twitter account - I just couldn’t go there anymore,” Warlick said. “We addressed it, and she kept putting things that I thought were not appropriate to represent a Lady Vol. So we quit recruiting her, and that’s not to say that her world is wrong, but it just isn’t right for this program.” When making team decisions, including decisions on the recruiting trail, Warlick always considers advice from her coaching staff, and is quick to point out the benefits of having a strong and passionate group of assistants by her side. “I think I’ve got so much knowledge and passion, and just love and interest for this program,” Warlick said of her assistant coaches Kyra Elzy, Jolette Law and Dean Lockwood.

Hobby Lobby ruling leaves questions Contraceptives affected by Lauren Robinson Staff Writer
One month ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby. The highly publicized case awakened activists of all sorts, but what does the court’s decision really mean? In accordance with the Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993, the Supreme Court ruling allowed Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood, as “closely held, for-profit companies with sincere religious convictions,” exemption from the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive mandate, which requires insurers to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives for employees. The Green family, who own and operate the Hobby Lobby chain, believe that the ACA’s contraceptive mandate violates the religious freedoms of employers by forcing the coverage of what they call “post-conception abortifacients.” They will continue to cover sixteen FDA-approved contraceptives and refuse only the few forms that are capable of destroying a fertilized egg: Plan B OneStep (the morning after pill), Ella (also an
emergency contraceptive) and both copper and hormonal intrauterine devices (IUDs.) According to the Internal Revenue Service, a closely held corporation is one with more than 50 percent of its outstanding stock owned by five or fewer individuals. Esther Roberts Bell, attorney and CEO of Global Intellectual Property Asset Management, clarifies the distinction. “These are privately owned family companies,” Roberts Bell said. “They are not publicly traded, and that is a critical fact that determined this case’s outcome.” A high percentage of American businesses fit this criteria, but to qualify for an exemption, all shareholders must be known to hold the same beliefs, which is much more unusual. Although the Hobby Lobby ruling has been the subject of many headlines, Phil Newman, public relations specialist and founder of NewManifest Communications, said he believes that very few Knoxvillians will be affected by this decision. “I think some business owners will see the heat that Hobby Lobby has taken for its policies and perhaps, out of fear, change their own policies to avoid courting controversy,” he said. While the Cathy family, who owns and
operates Chick-fil-A, might take advantage of the recent decision, it is quite unlikely that Knoxville’s small businesses will risk their livelihood by pursuing the issue. According to Lori Windham, senior counsel for The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and counsel for Hobby Lobby, the Green family said the Supreme Court decision was a landmark decision for religious freedom that it protects people of all faiths. The true debate, however, was something altogether different. For the Court, whether or not the contraceptives in question were actually “abortifacients” was inconsequential. As Roberts Bell explained, what mattered was that the Definitions Act in U.S. code 1127 attached personhood to these privately owned, family corporations. Once Hobby Lobby, as a legal person, expressed a belief, it became unlawful to try to suppress it. “The Religious Freedoms and Restorations Act (RFRA) (sic) states that you have to read religious liberties as broadly as possible in every instance,” Roberts Bell said. “SCOTUS said that Hobby Lobby meets the criteria, so they are protected under RFRA, which states that the government cannot substantially burden a person’s free exercise of religion.”

‘Food deserts’ may be fulfilled with farmers markets Liz Wood News Editor
Food security in the Knoxville area may not be so secure. While the demand for local and organic food increases nationwide, low-income households in Knoxville remain malnourished. Knoxville was the first city in the country to start working on food policy issues in 1982, but lags behind the much of the country in food security. Despite movements to increase food availability, the Knoxville area ranked 17th among the top 100 metropolitan areas for food hardship in the Food
Research and Action Center’s “Food Hardship in America 2011 Report,” with 21 percent of households unable to afford enough food. Most of that 21 percent resides in one of Knoxville’s 20 neighborhoods classified as food deserts, areas characterized by a lack of grocery stores and by high rates of diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. Efforts to create incentives to bring grocery stores to underserved areas have been proposed, but many low-income areas continue to lack a grocery store within a mile of the home, a problem compounded and often accompanied by reliance on public transportation. Not owning a car makes groceries more difficult to obtain, and low-income areas in Knoxville have
two to four times fewer grocery stores than higherincome areas. In addition to this challenge, a study conducted by the UT Health Nutrition Program revealed a 15 percent higher food bill for low-income Knox County households compared with higher-income households. On average, a low-income household is liable to pay $23 more than a higher-income household would in Knox County on the same $180 food basket. Lacking traditional, fully-stocked grocery stores, food deserts are often dotted with small convenience stores with smaller selections, minimal amounts of fresh food and higher prices. “Many food deserts are also ‘food swamps,’ which means there are no supermarkets or vegetable stands, but many fast food restaurants and corner-stores selling junk food,” Chad Hellwinckel, research assistant professor at the UT Agricultural Policy Analysis Center, said. “Food swamps are a problem, because people substitute easily accessible junk food for healthy food. This leads to the ironic situation where you have obesity problems in food deserts.” According to the Teneessee Statewide Nutrition and Physical Activity Plan, government institutions like schools, parks and prisons can greatly influence the creation of a healthy local food system since they are able to offer reliable demand through their purchasing power. Director of Nutrition for Knox County Schools Jon Dickl said Knox County Schools has responded to the problem of food deserts, and parents and students have shown approval of the quality of school lunches in recent years. “Food deserts create an opportunity for the Knox County Schools to remove a barrier to learning by meeting the dietary needs of our students and helping educate them on a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables,” Dickl said. “We know that some

students may not have the opportunity to learn about or enjoy many fresh foods, either as a result of living within a food desert or due to economic challenges.” Still, Knoxville and the surrounding area aren’t without efforts to improve food access. In 2009, the region had 11 community-supported agriculture groups and 10 farmers markets. Organizations such as Beardsley Farms, Second Harvest Food Bank, Socially Equal Energy Efficient Development (SEEED) and Coalition on America’s Poor Health and Poverty (CAPP) work to bring fresh food or health education to the community. Farmers’ markets across the area also make an impact, and offer something for lower income households as well. Seven Springs Farm farmer Donna Riddle has been a board member of the East Tennessee Farmers Association for Retail Marketing (FARM) for two years, and said that even the area’s less financially well-off can benefit from farmers markets, as many vendors accept EDT food stamps. “A wide variety of incomes can come and buy great seasonal food since a lot of the farmers markets now accept food stamps,” Riddle said. “We pick the day of, so you can’t get any fresher than what we bring to the market. We’re able to answer questions about how (the food) was raised and what variety.” Hellwinckel maintains that even the population not living in a food desert should be concerned about alleviating the problem. “Without (food) accessibility, our region’s citizens eat poorly, leading to health problems, poor performance in school and mental stress,” Hellwinckel said. “These problems ultimately cost us all in tax dollars and lost productivity, so I believe fixing food access problems is in the interest of everyone, even if you yourself do not live in a food desert.”

‘Trouble in Paradise’ creates less worry, raises eyebrows Melodi Erdogan Chief Copy Editor (@melodierdogan) When La Roux released their self-titled first album in 2009, they made an impression on the music industry. “Bulletproof,” the album’s single, was on constant replay on radio stations across the nation and beyond. The album gave the synth-pop, quirky duo (vocalist Elly Jackson and keyboardist Ben Langmaid) enough attention to succeed in their first endeavors, yet their name was quickly forgotten once the likes of Lorde and Iggy Azalea came onto the scene. Five years later, the dynamics of La Roux have completely changed. After touring their first album, the members settled down in 2011 to work in the studio in hopes of releasing a sophomore record. It took longer than expected; Langmaid decided his musical tastes had changed and left Jackson to continue on her own. Without a bandmate, Jackson wrote the songs, played the instruments and collaborated with other artists/producers/sound engineers to release La Roux’s second record, “Trouble In Paradise.” From beginning to end, “Trouble in Paradise” is structured oddly. Songs aren’t fluid in succession, and some songs are much longer than others causing a break in the album’s story. Yet, each song embraces different parts of a mixture of electronic dance music and synth pop without being overworked. Like a female, modern David Bowie, La Roux’s falsetto perfectly accompanies the computerized tunes and follows suit to the 2009 album. Some songs, such as “The Feeling,” are happy and upbeat while others, such as “Let Me Down Gently,” are sad and depressing. The only song that seems to have taken title as a single, “Tropical Chancer,” is similar to the reggae pop first developed by No Doubt. Possibly a product of her collaboration with experts in production and sound design, Jackson’s experimentation in different genres is admirable and works well in this tune. However, the song that stands out and capitalizes on the familiar

sound created by La Roux in “Bulletproof” is one called “Kiss and Not Tell.” This song has a beat that fans might expect from Jackson as well as a catchy chorus sure to please most pop music enthusiasts. Ultimately, the title of this album really sums up the rough five years that Jackson has experienced as a musician. Even though “Trouble In Paradise” dabbles in troubling states of mind, unrequited love and emotionally abusive relationships, it also exudes an effortless air of encouragement and confidence in discovering what one wants and figuring out how to get it. Jackson’s solo work in La Roux showcases raw emotion in singing honest lyrics while maintaining futuristic, synth beats. Hopefully it won’t be trouble in paradise for La Roux much longer.

A forgotten creed: actions speak louder than words This is not a Column by
Katrina Roberts In a previous column, I listed the things I had learned about five-year-olds in my first week as a summer camp counselor. Now at the end of the summer and camp, there is another thing to be added to that list. Five-year-olds do not care about what you say. They care about what you do. With the attention span of a peanut, I do not expect a five-year-old to remember much of what I tell them. We talk about rules first thing Monday morning, and twenty minutes later someone has been hit in the eye with a flying shoe. I consider it a huge accomplishment if one of them remembers my name or anything that sounds like it (Cup-a-trina has been a popular pronunciation). There are a few exceptions, but as a group they forget what I say within seconds. But they know my actions. The girls do not forget the silly dance I do to “Survivor.” The boys remember a great high-five we had three weeks ago. In their eyes, my merit is measured by what I have done, not what I have said. And in our society, that idea tends to get lost. We magnify what someone says or types to the extent that we can spend hours analyzing and fretting over a simple text message. This is not to say that words do not matter. But words can only do so much before they start to lose meaning and effectiveness. We are allowed to forget that actions speak louder because actions are no longer as mandatory for our communication. Which makes a huge impact when we are always communicating. We have so much more ease now. A leisurely scroll through Twitter, Instagram and Facebook can tell you all you need to know about a person without having to put in any real effort. And this is not necessarily a bad thing. We are accomplishing great things because of our ability to communicate globally. But talking about something and doing something are completely different things. For example, there is a big difference between talking about a marathon and actually running a marathon. A five-year-old does not care if you talk about a marathon. He will care if you actually ran it (assuming he knows what a marathon is). And when verbal or written communication is not even an option, actions are the only things that matter. I had a girl in my group this week that spoke only Turkish. She knew rudimentary English, such as colors, numbers and “bathroom,” but that is where her knowledge ended. Actions became the only feasible means of communication and while this stressed me out at first, my other campers were not fazed. At play time, I watched a little boy teach her to play Jenga by setting it up and pointing at blocks he put in front of her. He was talking the whole time, though she did not understand him. But it did not matter. Within minutes of learning, she had beaten him. He high-fived her and moved on to play with the kitchen set. When she cried after nap time, two girls came over and tried asking her questions while they hugged her. And she stopped crying. In the afternoons she hated playing on the playground because she couldn’t talk to the other kids, so I sat with her and colored pictures. At the end of the week, it didn’t matter that she could not understand English because talking made no difference. Her camp experience, whether positive or negative, was founded on the actions of 11 other fiveyear-olds around her. Talk is cheap, but for her it was useless. When words fail, which they often do, it is actions that count. We can talk for hours, but in the end it’s all about sticks and stones.

While these shows include comedy favorites such as “The Simpsons” or “Family Guy,” my favorite show is the one that is the most crude, the most profane and the most honest: “South Park.” “South Park” is a cartoon comedy that takes place in the fictional town of the same name in Colorado, and follows the stories of four boys through ridiculous events.

Grayson Hawkins Productivity (and the art of staying productive) has long been at the forefront of my focus, especially since my life here at UT began. I want to acquire (cool) talents and (awesome) skills to show for the time that I’ve spent on this earth, but most of these talents and skills come only after hundreds of hours of effort and thousands of units of dedication. I recently came across an interesting theory in Psychology: “the four stages of competence.” In this theory, Noel Burch mapped out what she explained as “the four stages of learning (a skill),” and they are as follows: Unconscious Incompetence Conscious Incompetence Conscious Competence Unconscious Competence In short, this theory states that the more you do something the better, more efficient, faster, etc. you will be at said something.

scious incompetence,” you’re completely oblivious to the subject (hint: everyone starts here). The other stages build on mastery until one finally reaches the level of “unconscious competence,” mastery so progressed that you require no conscious effort to (correctly) execute even the most difficult task. So why is any of this important? Well, as I grow older, I expect my capability and capacity for different abilities to increase. In most videogames, you start out at level one. You put time and effort into different aspects of the game and you progress further and further, unlocking more and more cool stuff to do. I realized that this simple act of progression is often left out of daily life. It dawned on me that many of my basic skills (that are required to make it through life, i.e. planning my finances/organizing and cleaning/even my handwriting) are painfully and obviously still stuck at level one. When I blink and find myself at the ripe old age of 40, I hope to be a wellrounded person, not simply well-read or having a balanced checkbook (“adult tasks” or “chores”), but I’d also like to have mastered several hand-picked hobbies (“skateboarding” or “calligra-
phy”). Especially during this collegiate period of life, we should all be focusing a lot more on progressing in our education by both developing study habits AND improving competence in each individual subject we take. But in order to accomplish this goal of well-roundedness, one has to practice consistently. I should be cleaning my apartment more and more, noting better and more efficient ways to finish each task. Before long, cleaning will come almost automatically, with no effort involved. The same goes for skateboarding, painting, studying, dancing, writing articles, everything. None of this stuff comes for free, you cannot expect to magically wake up in your old age and be some cool grandpa that can still pop an Ollie. No, it’s callouses, broken bones and countless hours that give way to mastery. Time is all it takes to get better at something. The oft-cited amount of “10,000 hours” to reach that final stage of mastery may seem like a pretty big number, but hey, we’ve got the rest of our lives to work with.

of inquisitive, constantly learning characters is a great asset to the show, the most unique aspect of Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s animation is its brutal satire to criticize their target. South Park is the last show on the Earth you would want to have a cameo in. Aside from the petty jokes that all comedies have, “South Park” has managed to make fun of nearly every single ethnic and religious figure that I can name. They have taken it so far that their 200th and 201st episode were pulled from broadcasting due to the death threats to both writers for representing an image of Mohammad - considered blasphemous to Muslims - soon after similar depictions in European media incited riots there. They have also mercilessly ridiculed many celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson and Kanye West, and have stopped at nothing to reach for more customs and current events to make fun of. However, their variety of criticism toward every group brings about an important concept deep within the

Berry Brothers compete behind the scenes Patrick MacCoon Sports Editor (@PatrickMacCoon)
A friendly rivalry is always acceptable – especially when it’s between two brothers. Though they have yet to play in their first game, twins Evan and Elliot Berry have a bet to see who can come up with the most turnovers on defense this season. “We work hard at our craft,� Evan Berry said. “It’s a great way to compete and a way to work to become great. We might as well make some fun out of it.� The brothers may try to outperform the other in practices and in games, but they are also glad to have one another out on the field. “Playing a sport with a twin is always good because you know at all times someone will have your back,� Evan Berry said. “It’s a great feeling to be able to share your accomplishments with someone and to always have someone close to you.� The brothers aren’t the first Berrys to take the field at Tennessee. Their
father James Berry played four seasons at Tennessee from 1978-81, in which he totaled 1,721 rushing yards and 19 career touchdowns. Then brother Eric Berry came and left a considerable mark on Tennessee football. In 2009, Eric Berry became the first man in program history to win the Jim Thorpe Award, as he was named the top defensive back in college football. In his three years at Tennessee, he intercepted 14 passes and set a record for most interception return yards in a season when he returned seven pick-offs for 265 yards including two for scores in the 2008 season. Elliot Berry said he isn’t worried about living up to the success of his father and older brother. “I just try to do the best I can,� Elliot Berry said. “It’s just one of those things that is understood. My dad just tells me to do the best that I can.� The twins took their time during recruiting, leaving fans questioning if they would continue the Berry legacy at Tennessee. “I always felt like I would come to Tennessee,� Elliot Berry said. “I just wanted to make sure I was 100 percent
sure this was where I wanted to be.� It hasn’t taken either long to get used to the campus or Knoxville area. Evan Berry said he has been traveling to Knoxville since he was a toddler to watch his older brother play. “I already knew my way around once I got here,� Evan Berry said. “When I was in sixth grade I actually stayed up here on my spring break with my brother (Eric). I went to class with him and practice. I didn’t think it was a big deal.� The twins realize that success is not something that is guaranteed just because their father and Pro-Bowl brother were standouts and now considered Vol legends. With the 2014 season just around the corner, they want to be prepared for whatever comes their way. “Right now I’m just working hard and trying to take care of all the things that I can control and be in a good position going into my freshman year,� Elliot Berry said. “I just want to get on the field as quick as possible,� Evan Berry said. “Him (Elliot) and I work so hard at being diverse. We are both well rounded.�
LADY VOLS continued from Page 1 “They are competitive. I don’t want people who are just going to say ‘yes, yes, yes.’ I want them to grow just like Pat (Summitt) let me grow. That’s just how I’ve been taught. I want somebody who has the same passion and feel for the program that I do. I just feel very secure that we’re all on the same page and we’re aiming for the same goal.� “Owning the state� has become a mantra for Butch Jones and Tennessee football, but Warlick and her staff feel that locking down instate recruits is just as important for the Lady Vols. “I think Alexa (Middleton) is a great addition for us,� Warlick said. “I think she understands our history, she understands the tradition, and she’s a kid that if you look at her, you go ‘that’s a Lady Vol.’ “She’s getting the opportunity to play in her home state and play for the Lady Vols. She’s grown up knowing the Lady Vols and dreaming to wear the Orange and I’m thankful, because those kids, they
understand. They know about the program and the history.� Though the new Lady Vol squad has made progress in the offseason, there is still plenty of work to do before the season officially begins. “Tennessee needs to get back to where we left off in 2008,� said Isabelle Harrison, rising senior. “As a senior, I want to do my best, take this team as far as we can go, and just lay a foundation for them to look up to. As far as being together, I think we’re doing a really good job with that but as far as the team, it’s going to be hard to get into the system until we get into team practice.� With a new season on the horizon, newcomers and veterans alike must be prepared to give their all for Tennessee. “We have built a great reputation, and built a great image,� Warlick said. “I just think that there is a certain quality in a kid that we look for. This program is just not for everyone. This program consumes you. We occupy a lot of your time, and that’s not to say our kids don’t go out and have fun, because I’m sure they do. It’s just time consuming, and there is a lot of pressure.�

Warlick talks new, maturing team
Training camp to test the young team 118 Matthew DeMaria • The Daily Beacon
WOMEN’S BASKETBALL Scott Carter Contributor The Daily Beacon sat down with Lady Vols Basketball Coach Holly Warlick for an exclusive interview. Part two of this interview will be published next week. Daily Beacon: The first thing fans will probably notice is that this team looks very different than last year’s. There are more bodies out there and there are a few new faces wearing Lady Vol Orange, right? Holly Warlick: I think we are heavy in the guard and forward area because of experience from past years, experience with injuries and having people available. It’s not that we just went out and signed bodies, we went out and signed kids that meet our needs. Losing Meighan (Simmons), we had to fill the role of shooting guard, and I think that Jaime Nared and Kortney Dunbar are that, and the toughness that we signed is where Alexa Middleton comes in. She’s kind of a multi-purpose player and as a bonus we got Diamond (DeShields) to just have that athleticism. She’s become a great team player. And Jannah Tucker, she’s going to add just an unbelievable dimension to us as far as a scoring threat, a big body, rebounding and just the knowledge she has for the game. It is going to be an interesting year, but I think it’s going to be really fun. DB: How are the new players bonding with the more experienced leaders on the team? Is the team bonding and coming together? HW: Yes, I think so. Our goal is to do a lot of teambuilding and try to keep our team bond. Bonding is huge for us. I think we’ve got some of the best talent in the country.
Patrick MacCoon Sports Editor (@patrickmaccoon)
Head Coach Holly Warlick with ESPN U announcer Maria Taylor before the game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and Lady Vols at ThompsonBoling Arena on March 2. It’s just how we’re going to get along and how we’re going to handle all that talent and different personalities. I think it was key for us to get everyone here for the second semester, besides Cierra (Burdick) who is doing an internship. I thought it was important to get everyone here and have our upperclassmen here as well. They all live together, that’s what we want them to do. We want them to form relationships off the basketball court. You just do teambuilding things and hope they get it. When is the team more important than themselves? When you figure that out, things are just going to skyrocket. DB: There are three seniors this year: Isabelle Harrison, Cierra Burdick and Ariel Massengale. What do you expect from them as leaders? HW: I think that they’re seniors now, and they have to step up. They’ve got to step up and be more vocal and they’ve got to step up and be accountable. They have to take responsibility. Not everyone is going to lead the same way. Some lead by example and some lead vocally, but they have to hold themselves accountable if they are going to hold our team accountable. DB: The competition across the board and especially in the
Southeastern Conference is really jumping up right now. Personally, does that concern you, or does it fuel your fire? HW: You know, I think it has to fuel your fire. For me, everybody’s competition and I think it is just part of the game. As much as you sit there and think you want to blow somebody out by 30 or 40, you really don’t. I just think it is healthy and makes you a better coach, makes you a better team and makes us a better conference. There are a lot of challenges throughout the year, but it builds your character. What are you about? What do you stand for? It should bring out the best in you. DB: I know UT hasn’t officially released the schedule yet, but some other schools that Tennessee will play have, like Oregon State and Pennsylvania. Are you continuing the tradition of tough Lady Vols nonconference schedules? HW: We play Pennsylvania, who won their conference. We play Wichita State, who won their conference. Oregon State, Stanford, we go to Notre Dame and play at Texas, so we have a tough schedule. It’s becoming harder to get people to come play us here in ThompsonBoling arena. It’s tough. The fans are into it and it is a great atmosphere.
With only 32 days until college football opens, the Tennessee Volunteers will begin training camp this Friday at Haslam Field. The 107 men of the self-proclaimed ‘Team 118,’ will look for leaders to emerge during August’s fall training camp to get 36 true freshmen ready for the season. Fall training camp will expose the team’s strengths and weaknesses. Quarterback The quarterback play is expected to be much more productive than last season which saw three quarterbacks throw five more interceptions than touchdowns. While many people expect senior Justin Worley as the starter, don’t be surprised if coach Butch Jones goes with sophomore Josh Dobbs, who has proved he can make plays with his legs as well as his arm. It will likely be an ongoing battle that won’t conclude until the final week of preparation before the Utah State game. Backfield Last season, the SEC was the most prominent rushing conference in all of college football, as 10 teams averaged at least 185 rushing yards or more per game. Tennessee could possibly have more talent in the backfield than last season with senior Marlin Lane and newcomer Jalen Hurd. Devrin Young will compete
with Treyvon Paulk and Derrell Scott for time as the third option in the backfield. Wide Receiver At SEC Media Days, Jones said that his team is “The Original Wide Receiver U” and the Vols should see great signs in training camp from a unit that has plenty of talent to go around. Tennessee can compete well in the conference at this position with the likes of Marquez North, Josh Malone, Von Pearson, Pig Howard and Jason Croom. Over the next month this group will display its size, speed and quickness if they want to put points on the board. Tight End This was the weakest link in the Vols’ offensive line last season, as the position only put up 15 catches for 98 yards. Freshman Ethan Wolf has the leg up for the starting job entering training camp and Daniel Helm should also see playing time at the position. Both players impressed coaches in the spring and are also highly touted incoming recruits. Rivals.com rated Helm the second best tight end in the country and Wolf received offers from Alabama, Michigan State and Wisconsin. These two tight ends will continue to battle it out through the next month and look to make an impact receiving the ball and blocking for ball carriers. Offensive Line Perhaps the biggest unknown for the Vols is the offensive line – it’s hard to know what to expect week to week. One good sign was Jones letting redshirt junior center Mack Crowder attend Media Days this year, hinting that he has confidence that Crowder can help lead a youthful line. Recently, the Vols have been spoiled with one of the best offensive lines in the country. This group would be best served to not try and live up to those
before them, but instead prove that they can compete with the rest of the SEC. Defensive Line Curt Maggitt is undoubtedly the leader of ‘Team 118,’ and this season he will switch from linebacker to defensive end. Jordan Williams (4.5 career sacks) and Corey Vereen are potential breakout players keep an eye on in training camp. Vereen was awarded the Andy Spiva Defensive Player Award at the 2014 Orange and White game. Linebacker A.J. Johnson returns for his senior season and is a consensus All-American. While Dillon Bates didn’t play in the Orange and White game, he will have the chance to prove himself now in the preseason. Chris Weatherd, Gavin Bryant and Jalen Reeves-Maybin will all be competing for starting time as well. Talent will not be lacking at this position, which is why the Vols moved Maggitt to defensive end to make room for more playmakers at linebacker. Defensive Back Brian Randolph and Justin Coleman return with a great deal of playing time under their belts, and Cameron Sutton will look to build off of an outstanding freshman season. Three legacies will have the chance to prove their worth during training camp in Evan Berry, Elliot Berry and Todd Kelly, Jr. Special Teams The Vols will begin their search for a replacement to Michael Palardy in training camp with Aaron Medley and Matt Darr expected to take over the kicking and punting duties.
