Coach is joined by Jimmy Hyams to break down the fallout of the Knoxville judge’s ruling that denied quarterback Joy Aguilar an additional year of eligibility. This decision leaves Tennessee with an incredibly young and inexperienced quarterback room, forcing the staff to rely on "good-on-good" drills this spring to accelerate the development of players like McIntyre and Brandon. Hyams notes that while the coaches expected this outcome, the pressure is now on the offensive line and the running backs to provide elite pass protection to help these young signal-callers succeed. The duo also celebrates a hard-fought 69-67 basketball victory over Vanderbilt, a game that saw Rick Barnes officially pass John Calipari for the most active career wins in the SEC. They credit the win to Gillespie’s defensive lockdown of Tyler Tanner and the team's ability to dominate the paint while committing fewer than ten turnovers for the second straight game. To wrap up, they touch on the Diamond Vols' surprising upset loss to Kent State and the Lady Vols' ongoing struggles with consistency, though they find a bright spot in the softball team's unanimous No. 1 national ranking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
