Volquest answers your Tennessee football, basketball & recruiting questions in the May 16 mailbag

Volquest answers your Tennessee football, basketball & recruiting questions in the May 16 mailbag
00:36 Action0212: How many OL of the 11 listed in Matt Ray’s article do Vols get? Top Edge targets Vols in good shape with?
2:26 BigOleVawls26: Are Vysen Lang's struggles something that specifically relates to the center position? Is it something that relates to general offensive line play that he is struggling with?
3:51 DoubleNickelsOnThedime: Choose one - if you had to bet your house on it, is Chaz a Vol or a Cat?
8:27 Vol_By_Grace: Without naming names, have you received any particularly creative or vile hate mail following your reporting on a story? What story generated the response and what were the highlights of the "feedback" you received?
11:16 SamSmith2233: Cain, South Carolina is a team that probably needs a game this weekend to be 100% in. Coming off getting manhandled by overrated fraud Charlie Condon, do the gamecocks have enough pitching to survive the friendly confines in the middle of May?
14:25 MarchMadnessVols37: Where would you put Eric berry on a list of all-time vol greats? How would you describe what kind of teammate he was and how much respect did he command as a leader on the defense? Who are your top 5 vol greats of players in your generation?
15:20 Pine: Does the Basketball and Baseball team success make the Football offseason fly by for you and the fans?
17:25 With NIL amounts continuing to go up, will some SEC schools decide to focus all of their NIL on one sport to be competitive?
IF Yes, will it be harder to be an all-everything school?
21:30 UtChampions: Tennessee D Line Mt. Rushmore. Go:
23:42 Forever Faithful: Football or basketball, who is the most relentless coach you have seen at TN?
27:15 Andrew Akens: Did Tennessee start the same 4 plus mincey/crawford all of 2022 on the oline? Is that common and would that bode well for this team given the lack of experience behind the starters?
29:48 Matt4rockyTop: What is JJ19 weighing now? Has he gotten to 245 yet?
30:23 ImissDenariousMoore: What do you most hope to see between now and fall workouts for this football team? Thinking about health updates, weight loss/gain, etc.
31:41 Cmd: Have noticed that AP has been very consistent in his prediction that A Carter starts alongside Pili at linebacker this fall (believe he has implied as early as Game 1). What is the reasoning there?
33:13 Rockytopmojo: With access to recruits, do you guys ever play a role in the recruitment process? Are their rules in place that you have to follow?
34:04 Also, what grade would you give Coach Caldwell to date…. for staff hires and recruiting?
36:14 Rheltney 4 Life: Why do you think Coach Fulmer never took another HC job?
37:05 RunThroughTheT: Who are 5 football recruiting targets who are committing soon to watch out for? I know one is this month from the Oklahoma OL and we seem to be in good shape there. Who is next after that who has dates in mind?
37:51 GoVols182: The prince of Bradley county is worried about our facilities ranking 19th in the country. Is this something we should worry about in the current landscape?

I heard nico say nil is not why he came to Tennessee

[@wesmarshall5426]

If donors pour the money In for the next 3-4 years and build up a championship team, our fans will pay it back 3 fold through tickets and merchandise and donations to the collective to keep it going. Jmho.

[@andersonhutsell8368]

If Carr is ready and works he may/could be as good or better than Chaz L.

[@johnw3952]

Agree! Carr has a lot of offensive talent. Maybe he takes a huge step and the Vols are fine where they are.

[@bgamb224]

It’s “ilk”. Not “elk”. Lol

[@markowenby4237]

AP putting in a solid 42 minutes. WORKHORSE

[@andersonhutsell8368]

AP, you know. Ya no, ya know In closing; You know!

[@andersonhutsell8368]

We do not love Jesse! Don't want him to die but would love for him to be south of the Ga/Fla State line and off UT podcasts.

NIL and transfer portal will destroy college sports watch and see

[@kellylong1070]

. . .2 guys moving plywood around. Hubbs with the win

[@DarrenProffitt-bz5zp]

Rob Lewis adds nothing to this show.

[@barrygaylord1666]

Yep, he must be related to someone. Brings zero to the video!

[@paulstruxness2043]

@@barrygaylord1666 at ease, pard. His expertise is basketball. There’s no need to deprecate and disparage a guy for being patient and respecting the opinion of others.

[@wesmarshall5426]

Gibberish as always. Looks like he’s sitting in a wheelchair because of being so lazy.

[@brentfisher1926]

Ouch... Harsh words... #GBO #VFL
