Summary

GoVols247’s Wes Rucker and Ryan Callahan went into the Fort Rucker Sun Room — the Fort Rucker Studio is almost (but not quite) reconstructed — to break down the first five practices of Tennessee’s second spring camp under coach Jeremy Pruitt and the things we’ll be looking for out of the Vols when they return from spring break and get back on the field next week.

Both lines of scrimmage were concerns for this team heading into spring camp, and they remain questions going forward, but one of those groups has showed some at least some signs of promise early in camp, while one side is clearly working on things.

Of course, even the more promising side of Tennessee’s line of scrimmage has plenty of questions to answer at the moment. Those questions were never going to be answered in five practices, and they haven’t been, but there have been some promising developments so far in camp.

Both side of the line of scrimmage are discussed in detail on this episode, but other position groups — from the linebackers to the secondary (especially the safeties) to the wide receivers to the running backs — also were given plenty of discussion in this episode.

A recruiting update also wrapped up this football episode, as per usual, and there was even some basketball discussion. Callahan and coworker Patrick Brown no longer cover Tennessee basketball on a daily basis, but both still keep close tabs on the program and have covered more than enough hoops in their careers to offer interesting insights that are worth a listen.
