I believe you are forgetting the amount of quality reporting Wes brings during spring training, preseason, and football season. The guy does a phenomenal job as a reporter. He is one of the reasons I looked into joining this site after reading his work on the KNS website. I mean the guy recently had to tone it down a bit because he was running his health down because of his dedication. I'm not a basketball fan and I'd rather read about recruiting, but I think Ryan more than covers the recruiting on this site when Wes is reporting during basketball season.

Signing day about 3 weeks away...our bb team will not finish .500 in SEC ball, why waste Wes in the heat of
football recruiting?

You do not know that. Good grief. I am a Tennessee fan. Not just for football. I even try to keep up with golf and tennis for crying out loud because I support the University of Tennessee Volunteers. Period.

I think Rucker's attention to basketball is a waste of a valuable resource. I would like to see govols247 begin hiring an intern from cover basketball until after NSD.
If more football requires less basketball, give me MOAR!

Disagree completely. Rucker covers teams and games. Ryan does an excellent job covering recruiting.

I cheer for and care about all the UT sports teams. Football is my favorite but I want to hear about all our student athletes. I think Ryan does a greay job with recruiting and Wes on basketball during this time of the year.
