Here's where ESPN projects UT basketball:

Starter Conner Weigman will miss the remainder of the season according to TexAgs.

Max Johnson is expected to be the starter when the Aggies come to Knoxville on Oct. 14.

Saw him in-person tonight and while his school runs a unique offense in terms of what they do with the offensive line, it does showcase Perry's ability to move. He will need to continue to add weight and adjust to the SEC level when he gets to Tennessee but he has a nice frame and already has shown to be effective at pulling and/or getting to the next level.

Talked to him after the game, where he updated how the relationships with the commits, Coach Elarbee, etc have come along and what games he plans to be in Knoxville for. Will have an article up in the coming days

Vols commit Jesse Perry caught up with @Shayne_Pickering recently.

Tennessee is using a trio of backs to put up the most rushing yards per game in the SEC through four weeks.

Here's what Jabari Small and coach Jerry Mack had to say about it.

South Carolina coach Shane Beamer met with the media Tuesday to preview Saturday's road game at No. 21 Tennessee. The Gamecocks (2-2 overall, 1-1 SEC) head to Knoxville fresh off a 37-30 win over Mississippi State.

Here are some key notes from Beamer's media availability:

– Beamer on playing at Tennessee: "Got a big challenge in Knoxville. I always enjoy going back there. ... I spent three years in Knoxville, really loved my time there. Proud graduate of the University of Tennessee sport management program. Got my Master's Degree from there. ... Learned a lot working for Phillip Fulmer."

– Beamer said that his South Carolina team "has a big challenge" on Saturday night. He noted that there'll be a hostile crowd inside Neyland Stadium, which is "what you want to play in and coach in." He said that his Gamecocks are excited to play on Rocky Top.

– Beamer on this year's Tennessee team: "Coach Heupel's done a great job with this year's team. Obviously, a fantastic season last year, and they've picked up right where they left off. Essentially, they've had one bad half of football – and that was against Florida. ... They've been operating at a high level."

– Beamer called Tennessee quarterback Joe Milton "tremendous" and said that he "can make every single throw on the field" and also mentioned his ability to take off and run with the ball.

– Beamer: "They're well-coached. This is a veteran team that we're playing – junior/senior-led team. We've got to have a good week of practice, and need to go up there and do our best to play well on Saturday night. But our guys are excited about the opportunity – another SEC Saturday night game, primetime, under the lights. It'll be an amazing environment."

Tennessee and South Carolina are set to kickoff at 7:30 p.m. ET. SEC Network will have the broadcast.

Students at UT voted for Smokey to be the schools mascot.
