Summary
GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down a big week full of news for the Tennessee football and basketball programs.
Tennessee didn’t have a blockbuster start to Early Signing Period of Wednesday, but that solid-yet-unspectacular start was just, in fact, a start. Thursday and Friday certainly turned things up a notch. Some big recruiting news actually broke in the middle of Friday’s podcast recording, which made for an interesting episode.
What did Tennessee get? What did Tennessee not get? What does Tennessee need to do in the coming weeks? All of that is discussed in detail on this episode.
It’s also been a huge week for Rick Barnes and his third-ranked Tennessee basketball team. The Vols went to Memphis last weekend and put on a show in a big win over the in-state-rival Tigers at FedExForum, but that game — exciting as it was — was merely the start of the week’s fireworks. First-year Memphis coach Penny Hardaway teed off on veteran Vols coach Rick Barnes and his program, and that incident also is discussed in detail on this episode. Plenty of other hoops topic are discussed, too, including Wednesday’s win over Samford, Saturday’s game against Wake Forest and some injury updates.
A couple of strong contenders for Grant's Gun Show Question of the Week also are included in this episode.
