Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker look back on the Tennessee Football Orange and White game on Off the Hook Sports’ Monday, April 15 podcast. They also talk about Volunteers transfer targets in football and men’s basketball while comparing Alabama Crimson Tide football and Kentucky Wildcats basketball.
QB play in Tennessee Football orange and white game
Nico Iamaleava was 7-of-9 in the Tennessee Football spring game, but Jake Merklinger and Gaston Moore were both solid as well for the Vols. Does this mean Josh Heupel has depth at quarterback this year in case Iamaleava does go down? How elite could Merklinger be if he stepped in?
Standouts in Tennessee Football spring game
Beyond Iamaleava, who stood out for Tennessee Football in the Orange and White game? Were any of the standout performances legitimate and not just garbage time from a glorified scrimmage? Which players’ stat lines were the most impressive? How much did that show for their fall potential?
Concerns after Tennessee Football spring game
With spring practice now over, what are the biggest questions facing Tennessee Football on the heels of the Orange and White game. How much trouble are certain Vols’ position units in? Were there any groups that played poorly in Saturday’s scrimmage at Neyland Stadium in front of 10,000 fans?
Where Tennessee Football should look in portal
Given the fact that certain position units are concerns, where should Tennessee Football look to beef up its roster with the transfer portal reopening again this week? Who will leave the Vols? Could they have another Tyler Baron type of player enter the portal like they did back in December?
Basketball Vols’ portal targets
In addition to UT Football, Tennessee Basketball has a lot of work to do in the portal as well after losing Freddie Dilione V, D.J. Jefferson, Tobe Awaka and Cameron Carr. It is confirmed they are targeting three players. Who among them would be the biggest get for the Vols? Could they land all three?
Kentucky Basketball vs. Alabama Football
The two most successful programs in the SEC in their respective sports will both enter next year with new head coaches. Is the Wildcats men’s basketball program or the Crimson Tide football program more likely to sink into irrelevancy? Could both fall off? What if they both actually stay at their current level?
