I don’t think he is broke beyond repair. But he is very injury prone. If Heupel doesn’t want or get a big time QB then I think DJ could’ve an option. The guy has talent and Heupel would make him instantly better. And you might be able to get him cheap.

I was super high on Lagway when he came out of high school. Even higher than Nico tbh but yeah he may be broken beyond repair. He made a bad choice choosing Florida but his real mistake was not transferring last year. If we could get his potential out sure that would be great but I’d be very cautious to try.

I don't think Lagway is smart enough to amount to much. He throws entirely too many stupid passes.

Would we take him if he wanted in? How’d he do there?

If we have to pay big money for another portal tackle because going into year six, the staff still doesn't feel confident that Elerbe has recruited and developed a suitable RT, then that's a problem.

I don't want Seaton or the LSU 5 star guy who entered or anyone else. I want to believe that going into year six, some of these highly rated guys we've recruited the past several years, have been developed.

Nic Moore was a four star
Bennett Warren was a high 4 star
Max Anderson was a 4 star
William Saterwhite was a 4 star
Jeremias Heard was a 4 star

Find a right tackle in that bunch. Or play Jesse Perry at RT and find a guard in that bunch. Stop living in the portal for offensive lineman. And if you can't, then fire the weakest coach on our staff, glen Elerbe.

Using the portal is no longer a problem.

You go fill holes on your roster regardless of where the players come from.

My portal isnt even open yet but who cares big board:

1. Jay Crawford CB, Auburn (@jvols1999 pointed out he's a former teammate of MM, and the same cycle. Hope they've been back-channelling)

2. Jabril Rawls CB FSU

3. Elliot Washington CB, PSU - There are better corners out there but give me someone in the secondary with Knowles experience. Especially considering how secondary driven his defense is.

4. Edwin Joseph S, FSU - We need safeties in a bad way

5. A QB - I can't name a name here. I have heard Ty Simpson rumors, and I think that is who Brooks Austin mightve been referencing the other day. If so, he's #1 for me. Sorsby is the biggest name out there at the moment, and I wouldn't hate it. I wouldn't even hate Lagway, as crazy as it sounds. He's got insane natural ability and I think a full off season with us, going off to the draft, and Florida fans seeing Lagway in the NFL as a Tennessee Vol would be a huge FU to them. But I don't want to go into 2026 with the two young, thin guys.

6. Omarion Miller WR , Colorado - I've done my fair share of hate watching Colorado these past few seasons and Omarion Miller is always a guy who caught my attention. He's good. He'll be a one and done. I don't think we need a portal receiver as I do believe we've recruited the position at an elite level - however we're still light on numbers. And who knows how good Joakim Dodson will be or if we can ever expect to get anything out of Amari Jefferson.

7. Christian Harrison S, Cincinatti - Former Vol. We need safeties. We couldve used him last year. If no PSU or OSU safeties hit the portal then I'm all for bringing him home. I'm a sucker for NFL legacies and his dad was one of the greats.

Portal is more expensive. It shouldn't be relied upon. Supplement your roster with it, yes. Don't rely on.

And again, if its year six and we're still relying on it, then lets get a better OL coach.

Good start, but where are the LBs and the DL? I'd also want a couple more OL, too. Feels like we need bodies everywhere.

Definitely need a DL or three. I just don't know enough about the guys available to know which ones I want. I should've mentioned them generically like I did with the QB position.

As for LB.... I would take another. But I also feel like we're only going to have 2 on the field at a time and we've done great recruiting there. I think Gass is listed as a lineabcker, right? So with him, Perlotte, Telander, Spillman, Harmon, Burns, plus the two studs we signed this year in White and Rouse, we hopefully are good there.

ECU QB who has one year of eligibility. Put up good numbers but no idea how good he really is. Seems like a couple people online think he’s coming to Tennessee. Anyone know if this has any legitimacy?

Not sure how accurate the transfer portal page is, but I’m personally hoping it’s true.
