After Coach Golesh joins, it’s time for some incredible questions from our listeners. While the topic of the week has been eligibility cases, Andy & Ari receive plenty of questions surrounding the eligibility cases of Charles Bediako, Joey Aguilar, and Trinidad Chambliss. While all three are currently in court cases, who knows what’s next?

To wrap up Dear Andy & Ari, Shea asks: “What’s Tennessee’s outlook with or without Joey Aguilar on the roster?” Andy & Ari dive deep into expectations ahead in Knoxville. Do you agree?
