Gameday Today: Hoops sharpens the scissors, football working like heck

If you read only one thing about the Vols today . . .

. . . make it this one from Will: This One’s for the Scissors.

Hoops

After all, it is March, and few things are more fun than March basketball.

Rick Barnes, though, is still All Business:

We’ve already covered yesterday just how big tomorrow’s game against Georgia is, so today we’ll just add that Admiral Jelly Ace Boogie Schofield has been waiting for this game since the last time the two teams played.

I’m posting this just because the picture is adorable:

This team boasts difference makers both on and off the court.

Proud of @GrWill2 — Tennessee’s representative on this year’s SEC Community Service Team 👏

Stanford quarterback Keller Chryst has committed to playing for the Vols this fall as a grad-transfer.

Reportedly, Butch Jones’ picture isn’t the only one being removed from the Neyland Stadium Jumbotron next week. They’re all coming down, although word is that another of General Neyland is going to be substituted for his current one. Rumors of the other two include Al Wilson and Jason Witten as candidates.

Mike Griffith has an in-depth (34+ minutes) video interview with incoming running back Jeremy Banks.

The Vols’ football strength staff is going to collectively earn $250k more than Jones’ prior staff. If dollars are an upgrade, cool.

VFL John Kelly is taking VFL Alvin Kamara’s advice to just be himself at the NFL Combine.
