BASKETBALL

Still recovering from his shoulder injury that caused him to miss a majority of the past season, Robert Hubbs won't play in the annual Rocky Top summer basketball league. Head coach Donnie Tyndall said Hubbs has yet to be cleared by doctors, but is near 100%.

Holding Hubbs out of the Rocky Top league is a good move to ensure he is fully healed and ready to go come the Vols season opener.

Speaking of the Vols' first game next season, it was announced that the Vols will play their first regular season game against VCU in the Veterans Classic at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.

FOOTBALL
