Tennessee basketball will give fans an early look at its new roster on Saturday, when the Vols hold an intrasquad scrimmage at the Food City Center.
The workout is scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. ET, just four hours before Tennessee and Auburn kick off across the street at Neyland Stadium.
Admission is free, with the FCC gates opening at 11:00 a.m. ET.
Fans can enter through Gates C and D.
Tennessee Athletics is directing fans to sit in Sections 103, 104, 105, 106, and 107. Concession stands will not be open for the event.
Getting to campus will be on fans, too. There will be no public parking available on Saturday because of the football game later in the day.
The scrimmage should offer a first real glimpse at a revamped Tennessee roster that added 13 new players this offseason through the transfer portal and high school recruiting. Among the names fans will be watching are Juke Harris, Terrence Hill, Jalen Haralson, and Dai Dai Ames.
Not everyone will be available. Guard Tyler Lundblade, a graduate transfer from Belmont, is recovering from back surgery in August. Freshman forward Ralph Scott will miss an extended stretch after undergoing surgery earlier this month for a left knee injury.
Tennessee reshaped the roster after a third straight trip to the Elite Eight, bringing in a highly regarded recruiting class and ESPN’s top-ranked transfer portal class. The goal is clear: get over the hump and reach the Final Four for the first time in the Rick Barnes era.
For now, the talking phase is almost over. Tennessee’s group has earned plenty of offseason praise from national pundits, but Saturday is the first chance to see how it looks when the ball goes up.
The Vols open the regular season at home against Wofford on Nov. 3.
Before that, Tennessee will play two exhibition games, hosting Xavier on Oct. 15 and traveling to Duke on Oct. 20.

Auburn Suddenly Has A Real Opening To Flip Its SEC Outlook
Tennessee heads into Saturdays matchup with Auburn at Neyland Stadium carrying a little more uncertainty than it did a week ago. College football analyst Josh Pate pointed to the season-ending injury to starting guard Wendell Moe as a real concern for the Volunteers, and he also flagged the pressure the quarterback absorbed in the most recent game as another sign the offense may have some answers to find before SEC play tightens up.
Auburn, meanwhile, sees a path if it can clean up its own issues in the run game and get steadier quarterback play. Against a ranked Tennessee team, those are not small fixes, but they are the kind that can change how a conference season feels in a hurry, especially in a road game where the atmosphere and the line of scrimmage will matter from the opening snaps.

Tennessee Saw These Arch Manning Concerns Before Everyone Else
Arch Mannings stock has been under a microscope for a while, and the latest reminder comes from ESPN scout Jordan Reid, who moved the Texas junior to fourth among quarterback prospects in his newest draft rankings. Reid still likes the raw tools, but the concern has become familiar for anyone who has watched Manning closely: the physical traits are obvious, while the sharper parts of quarterback play, especially reading defenses and tightening up his mechanics, still need work.
For Tennessee fans, the interesting part is how early some of those warning signs felt apparent. Texas coaches have also been dialing back Mannings designed runs to keep him protected, and that cautious approach may be affecting both his rhythm and his decision-making. It leaves a quarterback with plenty of upside, but also one whose development is still being shaped by the way his own team is trying to manage him. [Read more 🡒]
Dalton Knechts Lakers Future Suddenly Feels Far Less Secure
Dalton Knechts path with the Lakers has turned into one of the more uncomfortable fall storylines for a former Tennessee star. Entering his third NBA season, he has seen his minutes and production drop sharply, and the kind of role he seemed poised to carve out in Los Angeles has become much harder to count on.
NBA insider Brett Siegel even mentioned Knecht as a possible roster cut during training camp, though the Lakers have not issued any official indication that they plan to move on. JJ Redick has praised Knechts work ethic and his push to earn a rotation spot, but for now the bigger question is whether that effort will be enough to steady a future that suddenly looks far less secure.
