2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[allvolrecruiting]

JP isn't Yaxel athletic... curious if Morez or Mara is planning to leave.

Pro

 

[johnfnkelly]

How about Leroy Blyden vs JG and Diop vs Okpara? I think both could be upgrades.

Diop isn’t coming here

 

[CamVol8]

Estrella to Michigan. Wow.

Dude is dead to me idc lol. If you can’t beat em join em makes total sense for this generation of soft players

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Good for JP...hopefully we don't face them again next season

 

[CobbWebb71]

If this is triggering some of you guys because momma Boswell reposted momma Mashack then you’ve become a very sensitive group.

Thanks…that was a compliment, right?

 

[Mullins2010]

May musta been impressed with all his missed bunnies

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Kind of wild. After the game he played against Michigan, someone said “I got $3 million just for you”.

Because they actually know how to evaluate talent

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Estrella to Michigan is crazy lol.

Nope

 

[Mullins2010]

Because they actually know how to evaluate talent

Right

 

[cardvolfan]

I can think of a couple of obvious questions. How about a few more, in your opinion.

 

[CobbWebb71]

Is this blue font or are you serious? When momma Bishop starts the gangsta talk and posts her thong pics then maybe there’s something to talk about

Whoa, whoa, whoa!!
Can you direct me to the thong pics, sir?

 

[oldaaucoach]

UConn’s biggest starter was 6’10”

Reed is listed at 6'11" and is one of the top centers in the country. He is a future NBA player. I like Hines but at this point he doesn't even compare to Tarris Reed.

Preseason I have this faint memory of you suggesting a player on the roster might leave / quit basketball / something else unusual.

Did I dream that?

If not, now that the roster is flipped to do you care to reveal who and what it was?

 

[adam.vol]

Considering we’re in a dead period and he hasn’t even visited Michigan yet, it screams in-season tampering.

Michigan is the least worried about following rules. No team has been in more trouble and they have received virtually no punishment for it. They’ll probably get some booster to pay for their roster out of pocket and not even force Estrella to make an appearance.

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Or stay out of foul trouble before the 10 minute mark

Hint...he won't be asked to play like be a Uros enforcer and won't be switching as much on D

Ok JP

 

[Vols919]

Estrella to Michigan. Wow.

Channeling his inner KD.

LMAO...because $ and oppy had nothing to do with his decision. You were probably one of the posters whining about paying him $1 MM...lol.

 

[MinisterofDef#92]

Ok JP

Ha...I wish given he just made over $3 MM. I knew he would make big $ and most likely with another team

 

[Jean-Claude van Manning]

Yes, it does

Ok - can you explain it to us? Genuinely do not understand then.

-- He has to enter the portal in this two week period.

-- Other PG targets are communicating and visiting and committing to programs right now.

-- the NBA combine is in early mid-May.

Let's say he just decides to go to the NBA, aren't we up a creek at PG?

 

[SlyStone]

Estrella will be making a ton this coming year. He is highly coveted by several teams.

I saw online he was ranked 33 or 34 of a Top 40 list of Portal Bballers. The money is there, just not at UT for JP.

I might be wrong by I'm pretty sure it was SF and he mentioned JP. Might be wrong though. Bc of injuries.

Uhhhh, you do know Barnes recruited him out of high school right?

 

[adam.vol]

Because they actually know how to evaluate talent

I hope so. Nothing you said about Estrella mid season seemed to materialize, so you’re due to get it right.

Grant Ramey on VolQuest indicated that the top bigs are getting $4+ million. He indicated that while he didn't know for sure, he thought Estrella was in that range. If so, just...no. It's not even my money, and I'm still baffled by that.
