VQ Pod: How big of a weekend was this for Josh Heupel and the Vols?

The Tennessee coaching staff just concluded the final weekend of official visitors for the month of June. With highly-touted prospects like Amari Jefferson, Mike Matthews and Jordan Ross on campus – how big could this weekend end up being for the 2024 recruiting class?

The Vols’ Southeastern Conference opponents have been announced for the 2023-24 basketball season. What is to make of the home and away matchups for UT? Julian Phillips was also selected early in the second round of last week’s NBA Draft. How much does that help in recruiting?

And with the transfer portal swirling in college baseball, how different of an era is college athletics in compared to just a few years ago? Join Brent Hubbs, Austin Price, Rob Lewis and Eric Cain on this week’s edition of the Volquest Podcast.

Quote of the Pod

Austin Price on the Tennessee recruiting weekend…

“Yeah, I thought they did really well. As far as the overall month, time will tell. I think they have really closed hard this past weekend. Tennessee did as well as they could do with Mike Matthews and Amari Jefferson. I think they hit it out of the park with both. I think Tennessee really impressed Bennett Warren, the big offensive tackle from the state of Texas. I think that he is really feeling Tennessee right now. In my opinion, Danny Okeye was as impressive of a kid as I met over the weekend and he was an unofficial visitor. I think Tennessee is doing really well there. Jordan Ross, [Brent Hubbs] Hubber you talked to mom and she loves her some Chop [Levron Harbin] and Tennessee. Now, does that equate to landing Jordan Ross long term? We will see but clearly, he likes Tennessee. It’s Tennessee, Florida and Georgia and I think Tennessee had a really solid weekend there.”
