In segment one of the show, Patrick Conn discusses the addition of Drew Hughes as Director of Player Personnel. What does that mean for the direction of the program under first-year head coach Steve Sarkisian? Is he attempting to run this program like an SEC school?

In segment two, Conn switches gears to discuss the latest basketball news. What were the takeaways from the loss to Texas Tech and the 15-point win over Kansas State? With three players in COVID-19 protocols, Smart’s squad is showing just how deep his bench is. Jase Febres made his return and impacted the game on both ends. Where will Texas be ranked after their loss to the Red Raiders?

In our final segment, Conn discusses who the likely candidates are for defensive coordinator on Sarkisian’s staff. Tennessee is firing Jeremy Pruitt, who happens to have ties to Alabama and the SEC. Will Sarkisian go after him? Is Pete Golding still in the mix?
