Mailbag Podcast: Tennessee has their transfer QB, calendar changes?
Tennessee has their portal quarterback. What other pieces will they find to go with Joey Aguilar as portal visits heat up this weekend.
Speaking of the portal, could their be an actual proposed chance to the calendar? Ohio State AD Ross Bjork is advocating for one.
Is a GM a must now in college football and when is the last time Tennessee has been this young on offense heading into a season?
Austin Price, Rob Lewis, and Brent Hubbs answer those questions submitted by members of the General’s Quarters in this week’s edition of the Volquest mailbag podcast.
Tennessee Questions & Timestamps
4:22 RedBeardVFL — Had we of gotten Aguilar straight from app state you think people would be more ecstatic about him?
6:18 DavyVol — Do you think Heupel will ever seriously consider hiring a GM and should he?
CompetitionOrange — There’s already a question or two about bringing in a GM. Can you compare how UT’s overall scouting and player personnel operations compare with other SEC programs and with roster building becoming more complicated, should those areas be enhanced?
12:20 The ADaug — What up mods. How are NIL deals typically structured in terms of payments? Signing bonus? Pay per month? How can schools like Arkansas avoid getting scammed by the Madden Iamaleava type situations?
EverythingRymesWithOrange14 — What’s preventing schools from including clauses in NIL deals to protect themselves from potential issues? Is it because no one wants to be the first to take that risk?
14:38 TMini — Now that NIL and Transfer Portal chaos are being talked about all over the place, are there rumors of any traction from different factions to try and reign some of this mess back in? Like contracts for big target players, or even new laws limiting transfer options?
15:55 Imissdenariusmoore — Who do you think was the most successful “next man up” in UT history? Is it Lanier filling in Knecht shoes, Tee Martin’s junior year?
17:41 Also, what is something you wish you didn’t have to keep explaining to us on the boards?
18:49 Joey_Freshwater — Whats the level of concern with the WR room? Why hasn’t this staff been more aggressive in trying to bring in guys? What was the reason for the mass exodus of that position group this winter?
21:16 Athrun– Do you think this year’s team will view this season the way the 1998 team viewed the season? View are not just a QB
21:47 Is there any sort of comparison to a former player you could make with Ament?
22:48 Are there any portal entries from the Tennessee side that hurt in your opinion?
24:02 IheartVols — Who was least popular with the fan base?
Lane Kiffin on the night of “guys it’s true”
Bruce the day he accepted the Auburn job.
John Currie on Schiano Sunday.
Big Nic today?
25:46 NashVol615 — At a variety of positions, but specifically DT and WR it appears there’s been a lack of a plan. Can you give us a look into the hesitancy with getting players?
26:25 Hindsight 20/20, but do you think Heupel and Co wish they would’ve pushed harder on Nico to crap or get off the pot in December?
28:09 Pine — Who are some true freshmen qbs that played at UT and how do they compare to Gmac? Do you think Gmac has a legit shot at winning this competition?
30:09 Is this going to be one of the youngest offenses that you can remember.
32:02 SysVol — This upcoming fall camp feels like one of the more battle driven ones since Heupel has been here, at least on the offensive side of the ball. Are there any positions that aren’t fullly entrenched in a starter battle? Tackle and maybe TE?
36:59 Volken — With Rice and Miles off of the board does the staff go straight to their foreign player list or are there any more folks currently in the portal that they are seriously interested in?
Flyfish21 — This team seems banged up including the early entry recruits. where is the teams overall health come fall?
38:24 NeylandVol1980 — How did things get so sideways with the Iamaleava’s and UT? If Nico was leaving, why not leave back in December?
41:20 AkensVFL24 — Will Tennessee get a tackle with LG3 leaving or are they riding it out?
Will Tennessee look at some guys they missed in high school like Ny Carr and hykeem Williams?
42:39 SmokeyGray — How bad do you miss the good old days of recruiting when Forrest Davis and Countdown to signing day was the gold standard? I vividly remember him discussing how the Vols had a legitimate shot at the Georgia 3 of Cosey Coleman, Jamal Lewis, and Deon Grant. Am I a dinosaur for wanting those days back?
