Chase Thomas podcast. The Chase Thomas podcast.

My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate it. I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. All right. Another episode of the Chase Thomas podcast from Still, the A for mention Chase Thomas coming to you live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ.

Joining me from Fan Run Radio, Fox Sports Knoxville. You can hear him on Under Review, 10-2-1,

right before the Chase from 1 to 3 on Fan Run Radio, because he doesn't talk enough. I don't

talk enough Monday through Friday on the radio. We also talk here. Sam, good afternoon, sir.

How are you? Good afternoon, Chase. I'm doing great, man. Always a fun time to hop on and dive a little bit deeper maybe than some of the conversations we have on the radio. So it's always a good time to kind of get into the weeds of Tennessee sports, whether it's football, basketball, baseball, never ends over here. Yeah, I just think it's different. You know, now that I'm doing both every day, it is just, they're just different, they're fun in different ways. You know, I think they challenge you in different ways. They're different kinds of conversations. They're different. It's just different ways of going about it. And I just think it's fun to get both sides of it and have different kinds of conversations and flex different muscles. Because I think there's, there's a place for both. but I don't know. I enjoy both, and both are very different and very different muscles. Because I think there's a place for both that I don't know.

I enjoy both. And both are very different and very different ways. Absolutely. No, I do, you know, I feel like some of the stuff that maybe you get in on here, it's a little bit kind of deeper and more in depth than you get in on the radio and you're like, do people really want to hear about this type of thing? but then, you know, there's plenty of people out there that are like, give me more.

I want some more X's and O's talk and which guy do you feel like is going to break out this year and stuff like that. So yeah, I agree with you. It's fun to be able to kind of have that switch and you especially being able to kind of do it just about every single day, being radio every day and then having this podcast roll out all the time.

I'm sure it's fun for you to kind of scratch that itch.

Yeah, just different. Like, different kinds of conversations, you know, and I like having them

both and having all you guys on here as well as we just, you know, we cross-pollinate here on the Chase Thomas

podcast. So when we talk about balls baseball, this is something that we've been talking on the Chase on the radio this week and a little bit of last week.

Now that we have a little bit more clarity in terms of what the roster is going to ultimately look like at post-draft, granted, there are going to be some big-time decisions that Tony and his staff are going to have to make that are me.

Arduous that I do not envy the situation that Tony and his staff are going to be in to get that number from the midish 40s to.

It's still confusing because like the DSA part of it where I don't know how many, the schools might have a play and like how many they can have and like

how many can get grandfathered in. So I think it's still going to be kind of

unclear for a while. But somewhere we know around 34 to like 37 is

probably the number somewhere around there. Maybe you can get up to like 38,

39. We'll see on the DSA part of it. But we have a good idea of what the roster is going to be. We know Henry Ford's going to be on campus. We know Cameron Appenzeller is going to be on campus. We surprisingly know Ethan Moore is going to be on campus. And we know potentially with Reese Chapman going undrafted that Reese Chapman might be back on campus in

26 as well, which is a big surprise and a big win, potentially for Tennessee. But I'm

curious, I talked to Blake Rofino of AYS sports last week about this, the LSU part of it,
