It’s a very sad Monday in the world of sports. The news surrounding the passing of Kobe Bryant, his daughter and seven other people has struck everybody, including the Tennessee Vols, whose women’s basketball team was playing when the story first broke Sunday. With that in the back of our mind, we have lots to get to related to UT on this sad day.
Our morning update on Rocky Top leads with a few football stories. One includes the departure of an assistant coach, another involves a former Vol plotting his return to the NFL after taking a year off, and a final one involves the play of a recent graduate.
