Episode 95: Evaluating Vols' signing class, Gillespie exit

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Ryan Callahan and Patrick Brown went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down another interesting week — is there ever a boring week? — for the Tennessee football program. New Vols coach Jeremy Pruitt and his staff have (mostly) put the finishing touches on their first signing class in Knoxville, and that group currently ranks No. 20 nationally and No. 8 in the SEC. While a finish in that area wouldn't be good enough most years for a program like Tennessee, this was hardly an ordinary recruiting cycle. Considering the disappointing 2017 season on the field and the circus of a coaching (and athletic director) search that followed it, is it possible to grade Pruitt's first class on a curve? And that was hardly the only interesting news in the Tennessee program in recent days. How surprising was Pruitt's decision to part ways with popular running backs coach Robert Gillespie and replace him with Chris Weinke? How will that move be received by Tennessee's fan base? And how should it be received? Those are the main topics in this episode.
