  • (Used to be) Best Vols pod

    Unfortunately the heart and soul of this podcast has left. I still appreciate these guy’s analysis, but it seemed like Wes Rucker was the only one who knew how to make a podcast. Now all production value is gone and it’s just a pretty bland listening experience.

  • Hands down the best Vols podcast!

    I listen to a lot of Tennessee podcasts, since I have a 45 minute commute to work. GOVOLS247 is easily the most insightful, fun, and entertaining of the Tennessee athletic podcasts out there. It has a relaxed/focused vibe, and can also be really funny at times. And each journalist offers significant insight into what they’re covering. Go Vols!

  • Sweet addition

    Ben was the perfect addition. Great show.

    Updating- great insights and group to talk Vols football. Been following Ben since he was a college kid at Swain Event. Amazing to see him grow to be our go to guy for basketball, baseball and football.

    He’ll beat the C and get back to his hectic life and kids. Prayers and thoughts.

    Love the show. Highly Recommend!!

  • Great Coverage of the Vols

    Great coverage of Tennessee football, basketball and baseball. Long time listener. The podcast has really improved since Ben joined 247. The DiamondVols podcasts with VFL Will Heflin are fantastic. They’ve expanded their coverage on YouTube so you can watch there if that is your preference. Great podcast that is in my regular rotation.

BREAKING: Four-star wing Ralph Scott commits to Tennessee basketball
Q: Given the kind of late rising nature of his status as a prospect and his recruitment, do you have any sense of why he flew under the radar for a while?
He was a late bloomer largely due to being from Bermuda, and it's common for players like him to develop later in their careers fluctuating between schools until they found a stable environment at IMG Academy.

Q: What are some timetables on the injured guys not named Sanders and Gibson?
