2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

Ricky B on a heater! Lfg

We need a real big man not just a tall player. A guy you can stick in there when needed to offset some mongaloid guy like Michigan had this year and Purdue a couple of years ago.

I mentioned this in a post above, but you don't need anyone that is 7'1" or above. At 6'11", Tariq Reed played well against Mara and neutralized him if not outplayed him. No fear, strong and athletic. He just couldn't get some of the bunnies to drop and Michigan had a better supporting cast.

Reed 13 points 14 rebounds 1 steal
Mara 8 points 4 rebounds 1 steal 1 assist 1 block

If someone can let me know WTF this staff is doing I would really appreciate it…

Time to get Juke to campus then

When it comes to faith in Barnes, it seems the emperor has no clothes; too many Thumbelinas around here I’m afraid.

Really? Look at last year. Look at who you’re going head to head with. Michigan and UNC. One of those just curb stomped you in the E8. It’s pretty obvious the money isn’t going to be significantly different. Not hard to pitch against Rick’s style.

 

[CamVol8]

If Duke lands Blackwell and Christian Anderson indeed enters the portal, would think we’re a player

This excites me. I wouldn’t even care about Tanner at that point

Please please please

Rick’s offense is fine. It gets guys opens looks.

There’s a lot of great things to say about Barnes. This isn’t one of them. Like it or not, it’s a narrative. And narratives have consequences.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Boom!

Also, I’m pretty content with this roster now. Anything else we add is going to be cherry on top.

Eh. It’s good, but when you see the bench break down in the Roster Edition thread, it’s a bunch of freshmen and an injured Troy Henderson. Still need a few more pieces. Ideally I would like to not rely on any of the freshmen next year.

Also, what’s the correlation between those 2 players?

So does trolling. You end up on lots of Ignore lists.

Haha ok. If you watch games the offense generates plenty of open looks. Now having the players to make shots consistently has been the issue but that is being solved currently.

Dang it. Did not now he is a troll. My bad.

Can ya and let me enjoy just a few minutes of positivity?

The Vandy simps & baseVOLs have soured this weekend mostly but we finally get Hill locked down so I’m content.

Then pitch me because I’m going to list the last 3 sec portal players of the year and with JG drafted, all 3 drafted in the NBA and weren’t draft picks prior to UT, then rest my case.

Lol. Fair. To be clear, I’m very happy with how the off-season has gone so far. We just need to shore up the bench and we’ll be

 

[berryvol]

Booooooooooom

 

[Legion of Doom]

Hill is awesome addition.

 

[berryvol]

Let’s lock down Harris and a big. I’m still hopeful in our big game hunting efforts with TT/Anderson

 

[volsarelife1]

Bang bang!! Offense is going to be something special this season

 

[Delmar]

Some more good info. Since he’s now listed as the OP on the Vandy thread, if you stick the clown on Ignore that whole thread magically disappears. It’s a beautiful thing.

 

[Skooter]

There’s our pg and at 6’3 adds a nice dimension with length to pull up, finish midrange and at the rim and defensively.
