Saturday Headlines: Acaden Lewis Decision Day and Tennessee Gameday

Big day for both programs.

Update: He’s a Cat.

---

Good morning, BBN!

It’s a big day today; Acaden Lewis decides where he’s going to school, and the Kentucky Wildcats travel to face the Tennessee Volunteers.

Lewis’s visit to Kentucky last month seemed to go well. He got to take pictures with the ASB GlassFloor and even said this about his Kentucky visit: “You can’t beat what they were doing.”

Lewis’s top 3 schools are the Kentucky Wildcats, Duke Blue Devils, and UConn Huskies, and he’ll be deciding today at 2:00. It’s a tough choice, but 247’s Crystal Ball has a 100% prediction for Kentucky, so seeing a different result today would be surprising.

You can stream the commitment online via On3.

As for Kentucky Football, there isn’t much optimism about their performance. It’s been one of the more challenging years in the Stoops era, and I don’t see that changing after today.

Tennessee is rocking their black-out uniforms, and it’s a night game in Knoxville… we’ll see. The game kicks off at 7:45 PM ET on the SEC Network.

Tweet of the Day:

One of the greatest trolls you’ll see!
