The transfer portal is closed in both football and baseball but roster acquisition continues to be active for both sports. 

The Tennessee basketball team is clearly looking to add help in the backcourt to go with transfer Jakobi Gillespie and the other roster additions in Nate Ament, Jaylen Carey, and Troy Henderson. Where will those additions come from? 

On the football side, Tennessee is obviously looking for a defensive tackle and a receiver. Getting receivers to campus has been a challenge and the pool of receiver candidates is getting smaller. Tennessee has had defensive tackles in town. They have had four in over the last week including Grand Valley State’s Josh Schell who continues to see his portal stock rise with more and more teams calling. Can the Vols close on one of the two remaining on the board after their visit? 

In this week’s Tuesday edition of the podcast, Brent Hubbs, Austin Price and Grant Ramey answer those questions, plus a deeper discussion on the portal and the transfer market overall as college athletics continues to try and move towards a revenue sharing model. 

Over the weekend four Tennessee football players heard their name called in the NFL draft we examine that as well as the Tennessee baseball team. Tony Vitello’s club is now ranked outside the top-10 following a series loss at LSU. The Vols return home for a 9 game homestead including two SEC series that starts with Auburn Friday night. 

We recap the draft and we dive into a little baseball as May arrives.
