Thank you so much for being here. and making locked on balls, part of your morning routine, your first listen, your first watch each and every

single day. We're a part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, the number one sports podcasting

network available. And every day, I could not do this show without you. Today's show coming up

and working in reverse order here. Thumbs up, thumbs down to new places for Tennessee departures in the transfer portal.

I never like segments like this, but I saw the list, and I mean, the list is rather long,

and, you know, former balls are finding new homes, and some of them don't make sense to me.

We'll get into that in segment number three.

A full breakdown of the offensive portal needs in the transfer portal, the numbers,

the retains, the additions, the subtractions, all that and more just like we did on Tuesday show

or yesterday's show talking about the defense's out of the football.

It's coming up in segment number two.

But first, some new names to watch in the transfer portal as the visiting dead period for the transfer portal has come to an end that was through Wednesday.

And today's Thursday, so visits are ongoing again.

End of business, or I guess it's midnight tomorrow on Friday, the transfer portal closes.

So we're coming, you know, and classes start from the majority of schools next

week. And Tennessee always starts a week later. So Tennessee kind of has some more time to

go to work in the transfer portal. And really it's you have to be in school before the ad drop

deadline, which is, I think, like the first week of February. So honestly, you got some time here, but the majority of the country is going back to school next week. And so you're going to see a lot of this transfer portal stuff come to a conclusion or really kind of slow down here as the days continue. But Tennessee continues to welcome some prospects on campus. And Tennessee's expected to do that with a tight-in from the southeastern conference.

That is Pierce Spurlin, who is expected to be in town today to do an official visit for Tennessee.

He was once upon a time in 2022, that class.
