Hogs vs Vols: Probably For the Best Aidoo’s Vow Still On Backburner

Arkansas will begin SEC play as a heavy underdog at No. 1 Tennessee on Saturday.

Whether you look at sportsbooks or various metrics, the No. 23 Razorbacks are projected to lose to the Volunteers by double-figures when the square off at noon CT inside Thompson-Boling Arena.

John Calipari will be looking for an X-factor to swing things his way and he might just have one in an ultra-motivated Jonas Aidoo returning to Knoxville, Tenn., to face his former team.

Even without the extra motivation he’s sure to have Saturday, Aidoo has proven to be a critical piece for the Razorbacks when healthy, looking like the guy who earned second-team All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive Team honors with the Volunteers last season.
