Description

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Grant Ramey and Patrick Brown went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down another interesting week for the Tennessee football and men's basketball programs. Bovada this week released the SEC divisional and conference-champion odds, and things look about as grim as you'd expect for Jeremy Pruitt and his rebuilding Tennessee program. We break down those odds for the Vols, and all three GoVols247 writers in the studio offer their unsolicited advice on teams they'd feel good dropping a few bucks on. In much better news, though, Tennessee added another big offensive line commitment. And this commit — Nigerian-born Chris  Akporoghene of Florida powerhouse IMG Academy — has a great story that featured a couple of years at The King's Academy School in the Knoxville area. We break down Akporoghene's pledge and what it means for the Vols and their class moving forward. We also spent time discussing the Tennessee commitments who got big bumps in the most recent 247Sports Recruiting Rankings. Atlanta-area offensive line commit Wanya Morris is now a consensus five-star prospect and the nation's No. 6 overall prospect and No. 1 offensive tackle prospect in the 2019 industry-generated 247Sports Composite. Tennessee wide receiver commit Ramel Keyton got an even bigger bump. He rose 66 spots to No. 104 overall in 247Sports' rankings, where he's now the No. 17 wide receiver in the 2019 class. And there were others, too. And we discuss all of them. Tennessee basketball continues to hit the recruiting trail hard, as well, and the Vols have gotten themselves in solid-or-better shape with two of the nation's top four point guard prospects in the 2019 cycle. One of those point guards — Tre Mann from Florida — is deciding soon and likes Tennessee a lot, despite the home-state Florida Gators keeping themselves very much in the mix. The Vols are also very much in the mix for consensus five-star point guard Josiah James, though he's not ready to commit anywhere anytime soon. It was another week full of news, but we've got you covered on it.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
