2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

[choochoovol]

Not every player has to be super athletic, she’s athletic enough, I’ll take her.

This just might be Tennessee's first portal signing

This just might be Tennessee's first portal signing

She could shoot all the 3s she wanted in our system. 41.7 on 259 attempts last year.

 

[VolFuture]

Weird, only thing I know of is one of their assistant coaches leaving for another SEC school.

Maybe they had their first team meeting with Mrs. Poff and she laid down the law.

 

[VolFuture]

BRUH

They both 1 years right? Bc this was a 5th year announcement??

 

[VolFuture]

Hey look Georgia is alive! This is legit the first Georgia recruiting thing I’ve seen. I know she hates the portal but dam

If I responded back in the same way to the quote it would be considered bickering so I’m just going to say “thanks for the heads up.”

I have noted your attempt to move toward center, and have tried to drop an upvote when I’ve deemed earned.

Notice: my opinion is worth squat.

I do appreciate the eternally optimistic and there can rarely be much honey applied to a recipe, but you’ve managed to do so. In my book anyway.

I’ll go ahead and drop this. There was one of Maria’s peeps, full blown paid members, that you strike me as having a similar posting history. It amazes me that you keep changing your username. Just own your online persona.

Rating on Nye wise I think she fits nicely between Hunter and Kapinus

Hunter mostly is on potential and years and Kapinus was also a 41% from 3 with 3 less average points but 3 more rebounds per game.

"I'll show you Loyal!"

 

[Deebowbear]

They (Barker, McQueen, and Nye) all made a big post about coming back

Then a week later

Take all three

 

[Deebowbear]

Now that’s the player I want from Alabama, I was going to mention that before, but now she’s in the portal, we need her shooting.

And that’s why I said some of our roster needs to hit the portal. I think it’s looking like we can better and more athletic players

 

[glv98]

Can someone remind me what 3 visits we have lined up? Also, do we have a legit shot at Liatu King?

Latham and Spearman for sure. Dwyer is up in the air at this point, working out the details. Word on the street is King should be coming to visit, but no official word. I would love for Nye to come. She can light it up from downtown.

 

[glv98]

Latham and Spearman for sure. Dwyer is up in the air at this point, working out the details. Word on the street is King should be coming to visit, but no official word. I would love for Nye to come. She can light it up from downtown.

Thanks! That's very encouraging. I asked about King bc I just saw a portal ranking of remaining players that had her 3rd behind KiKi and Beers. Another had her 10th with those who have already committed including. That's impressive.

I would love to add King to this roster, She is super athletic and would also fit right into the mold of what Coach Kim is trying to build here.

I would really question why we would take Dwyer a lot of better point guards in the portal. Latham, Spearman, King, and Nye would certainly take all four. Only leaves one scholarship so need to make it a great choice and I don't think Dwyer fits that description.

Hold the final scholarship in case someone enters the portal at the last minute that wasn't expected and I would choose between Latham or King and not both, and I would learn toward Latham because she has 3 years of eligibility left and more size at 6'2" than King at 5'11/6'0"

 

[VolBall09]

King is a nice player but she’s not an absolute must imo. She’s pretty undersized for the way she plays. Only 6’ and does not have any outside shot at all. Never attempted a 3 in her career.

She did improve massively last season under the new coach and with significantly more minutes.

Would not put her in the top 5 transfers available right now though. She was on a team that only won 8 games and only 2 in the ACC so that makes me pretty hesitant. Being the best player on a very bad team doesn’t always mean they are that great of a player.

Mostly I’d be a little wary due to the lack of an outside shot and her height. Super athletic, but at 6’ you’re giving up a lot at the PF spot in the SEC.

 

[Volfan2012]

I am hoping all four are committed by Monday or Tuesday of next week so if any of the girls on the team are rethinking their situation they will have time to explore their options in the portal.

Same I much prefer Latham due to her age and potential.

I think we may have 1 player leave. I’ve really been wondering about Wells.

Wells is hard to track because she doesn’t do socials at all. She also just doesn’t seem as connected with the team.

I can think of about four that should explore their options, but I hope they stay if they don't mind minimal playing time.

 

[VolBall09]

Yes, I can agree with that statement. I’m not going there though lol.

I’ve only pointed out one I think needs to move on.

I think a couple of the others have a lot of potential if they get in shape and buy in to what KC is selling.

I maintain Strickland is a bit of a wasted scholarship. Great kid, but she just isn’t ever going to be athletic enough to compete in this league. Not sure we need her taking a roster spot for another couple seasons unless she improves dramatically.

At the time she was brought to UT Kellie said it “had to make sense for us and make sense for her and at this time it does.” To me she was basically saying they needed some warm bodies on the bench, because she really wanted to be a Lady Vol before committing to WV and then Pitt and we blew her off. Tells me the previous staff didn’t think she had the stuff but relented when they were desperate for a player.

 

[Volfan2012]

Take all three

Take two leave the wild shooting Barker off. She may have the highest average but also the lowest efficiency.

 

[ReignSupreme]

I can think of about four that should explore their options, but I hope they stay if they don't mind minimal playing time.

Some will be in for a rude awakening if they stay because they likely won't play at all, but to some, starting and finishing as a lady vol and being able to sign the graduation wall (if that even remains a thing) might be more important than going elsewhere.
