GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Grant Ramey went into Fort Rucker Studio to briefly touch on some of the week’s football news before diving into a discussion about the state of Vols hoops heading into 2019. Rick Barnes and his staff and players went their own separate ways for a few-day Christmas break, but the Vols are reassembled and preparing for Saturday’s game against Tennessee Tech — the final opponent before SEC play opens with a Jan. 5 game against Georgia. What looks good for the Vols at the moment? What needs some work? When will Lamonte Turner return? Was the team being leapfrogged by Michigan to stay in the No. 3 spot in this week’s Associated Press poll a snub, and did it matter, either way? Does Tennessee Tech pose any kind of a threat? Those and several other topics are discussed in details in this episode.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
