Kane. We got a lot to get into here today. Tennessee football, spring practice takeaways,

Lady Voll reset, where Tennessee is with where the Lady Balls are with the Kim Caldwell reset

for her roster. We got Tennessee a new commit on Sunday, Terrence Hill Jr. And likely the point guard in the class, again, we'll get clarification on that later on. But it's a combo guard that you would assume Tennessee is going to run as a point. And where Tennessee men's basketball is in the transfer portal, all that and more here on a Monday show.

To do this here with us for the next 30 minutes or so, Caleb Jaro, the Daily Time is going to stop by.

0:58.8

And first and foremost, Caleb, let's get your thoughts on Terrence Hill Jr.

1:03.1

You know, obviously a priority gift for Tennessee, VCU Guard, combo guard, high score, picked between Tennessee and Kansas.
