John Adams of the Knoxville News Sentinel joins Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker on Off the Hook Sports’ Tuesday, Feb. 6 podcast to discuss pressure on Nico Iamaleava, SEC quarterbacks in general, who will challenge the Georgia Bulldogs and the NCAA lawsuit. Tennessee Vols recruiting and Tee Martin linked to the Kentucky Wildcats also made news.
NCAA’s chances vs. Tennessee/Virginia
A judge is set to rule on Tuesday whether or not there will be a temporary restraining order on the NCAA’s NIL rules. Does the organization have any chance to win this lawsuit against the states of Tennessee and Virginia, or are they in blatant violation of antitrust acts? John Adams of Knox News joins to discuss.
Pressure on Tennessee Vols QB Nico Iamaleava
Is there too much pressure being put on Tennessee Vols quarterback Nico Iamaleava after playing just one game? Discussions are beginning to ramp up that he may be good enough to be a team captain despite just entering his second year with the program. How much is overblown? Adams remains on to break down.
Ranking SEC QBs
This past season was a down year for quarterbacks in the SEC after there were numerous elite signal-callers in 2022. What’s in store for 2024? Who are going to be the conference’s best quarterbacks? Where do Nico Iamaleava, Carson Beck and Garrett Nussmeier rank in that group? Adams gives his take.
Who is the biggest threat to Georgia in the SEC?
With Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban’s retirement, the Georgia Bulldogs under Kirby Smart seem like the class of the conference. Who is the team in the league most likely to challenge their power going forward? Could the Tennessee Vols be on that list? What about the LSU Tigers? Adams stays on to name his team.
Tee Martin to Kentucky?
Wildcats offensive coordinator Liam Coen is leaving the college ranks, which is actually good news for the Tennessee Vols. However, could former UT quarterback Tee Martin take over there? Martin coached at UK back in 2011 before leaving to take a job with the USC Trojans when Lane Kiffin was there.
Tennessee Vols junior day weekend
Ahead of National Signing Day 2024, the Tennessee Vols hosted a slew of juniors for the 2025 class this past weekend despite no home men’s basketball game. How did the weekend go for these recruiting prospects? Which of them are most likely to commit to Rocky Top when it’s all said and done?
