After a huge week of additions on the recruiting trail in men’s basketball and football last week, the Tennessee Vols continued their news Monday by adding another football transfer at quarterback, getting Joe Milton from the Michigan Wolverines. You could say they are riding a high as they enter 4/20.

Our morning update on Rocky Top does deal with some personnel coverage, as the program signed another commitment in men’s basketball, in this case a transfer. This player is just one bit of evidence of Rick Barnes’ offseason success.

Beyond that, we have a recap of a softball series to bring you, an update on the baseball program and a postseason preview for women’s tennis. With the Orange and White game set for this week, there is clearly plenty happening at UT right now. Let’s start with another signing.
