Volquest answers your Tennessee football & basketball questions in the Feb. 20 mailbag I GBO

3:30 BilVolBaggin: Looks like Vols won’t sign any more high schoolers for basketball…..Is Freeman at LMU a possible portal candidate?

5:09 ImissDenariusMoore: Who would be your top 3 shooters in UT history? Who would be your top 3 scorers?

7:14 Looking at football, what do you think about next year's DL potential? Is it time to buy my J. Ross stock?

9:35 Barrythevol: I agree that nothing will change on conference game numbers unless the money increases from ABC/ESPN, but assuming that does happen, do you see the main focus for scheduling being to try and maintain rivalry games, making it possible to play everyone within a 4-year period or a combo of both?

15:34 DolittleVol: With the lack of proven pass catchers on the roster, is Brame a guy that can help this Fall?

19:28 UTJ36: If you guys weren't in sports media, what different occupations do you think each of you would have?

22:03 DavyVol: Are the inconsistencies on the offensive end under Barnes every year more attributed to personnel or offensive system/philosophy?

24:17 Volken: With most of the season in the books would you say the Vols upgraded with the portal losses v. gains?

26:47 Iheartvols: Should we be concerned that the basketball team currently has 3 scholarship underclassmen, only one of which is getting real minutes?

28:50 SPittVol: For Tennessee to make a return trip to the CFP next season, they will have to do at least 1 thing they haven't done in many years:
Beat UGA at home
Beat Bama on the road
Beat Florida on the road

Which of these is most likely? Which is least likely?

32:40 WiseVol24: How many more years do you see Barnes coaching?

35:20 Ament looks to me like a generational talent like Flagg is this year. Are we gonna throw the big bag at him to get him or are we gonna use that money to get 4/5 from the portal?

36:47 45-5: I follow recruiting pretty closely and I can't remember a time when we beat so many Top 10/CFP programs on the trail for prospects. AP (maybe Brent) when is the last time you remember a Tennessee Class going head to head with so many and winning?

40:59 Vol_thru_it-all: I know you mentioned on your Tuesday podcast that there are no changes in 2025 in terms of number of teams for the playoffs, but is there a possibility they change the seeding system so that it is based on rank alone in 2025?

42:00 Bud_Fox: What one attribute would you like to see Mike Matthews display early in the season to establish him as a big-time player for us?

43:23 NashVol615: Who do you think has the best chance to get 10 sacks in 2025? Josephs Herring, or Ross? Collectively can they get to 20?

45:10 Rob, do you think there is a certain way that Rick practices that hurts our offensive ceiling?

45:17 Do you think in 2025 Tennessee has a 1000 receiver or running back?

46:27 Functioning_Voloholic: What roles in recruiting should we expect from Evan Crabtree and John Bonamego?

47:07 AndrewHimmelman: Fav cereal?
