Summary

Is Tennessee football being disrespected by the national media this offseason due to a lack of moves? Sure, there’s not a whole lot of hype around just two transfer portal additions, but the Vols were able to hang on to a slew of important pieces like Mike Matthews, Boo Carter, DeSean Bishop and even quarterback Nico Iamaleava. Why roster retention is the least sexy thing in college football right now. Speaking of Iamaleava, should Tennessee have started him at quarterback for all of the 2023 season? What does Josh Ward have to say about the latest SEC/Big 10 momentum in re-shaping the College Football Playoffs and on Tennessee basketball’s latest comeback win? Locke don Vols is your go-to Tennessee Volunteers podcast, available on YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.
