2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[TheMookieMonster]

I know everyone is focused on Tanner, but did Anderson ever officially enter?

No

UNC adds Matt Able SG from NC State as well as Maxim Logue PF from FAU. That's now 3 guards total from the portal...have to feel they've moved on from waiting on Juke at this point.

Tanner deal is Gruden 2

I'm not sure anything will ever beat Grumors. That was volnation at its peak. Tanner is more in line with Ty Simpson and Carnell Tate last year

Tate Ratledge, also.

I think even those were more concrete than this. You had Austin Price saying Simpson would come here if he turns down the NFL. This was 100% message board talk.

good comparisons lol spot on

 

[brockytop]

No kidding. Last I checked, this kid has never been in the portal, so what exactly are we waiting on?

The wasted time, energy, and words on a kid that’s going to do nothing.

Good thread for a Seinfeld episode.

Yep, something about nothing. TBD.

 

[CamVol8]

I come back from my run and STILL nothing today on Tanner or even Anderson

Who ? The Vols ? They got their PG1, Hill. Vols are fine as long as they get Juke. Now, if he goes to Michigan, then you can say they wasted time, energy and words. But, Tanner was nothing but a message board rumor

Reality is setting in that it’s pretty much Juke or bust at this point.

 

[berryvol]

About to play pickup for a few hours. Hoping there’s 25 pages of celebration to get caught up on when I return

Came back to only 2 new pages

 

[TheMookieMonster]

We’re cooked, bro. Weeks of speculation over nothing lol. Oh well, sucks but is what it is.

Yeah i feel the same. I am more surprised about Anderson because they made it seem like a done deal that he was entering the portal

 

[UTK]

Pipe dream from the beginning

Pipe dream is dramatic. If it doesn’t happen, sure it doesn’t happen but of course a kid is gonna feel out taking money to play for Rick Barnes.

 

[etsuvol13]

We have a great portal class and recruiting class with 2 to 3 more to come in the next week or so. Everyone around here is getting depressed for no reason. Calm down.

No, Mookie, we are not cooked. Vols killed it, in the portal. Get Juke, top 10 team, for sure, probably top 5. Even if the Vols don't get Juke and Ament comes back, same scenario. Tanner was a pipe dream from the jump, imo

 

[GoneViral]

No point guards appear to be entering the portal.

I hereby demand that Chris Paul enter the portal and sign with us. He's not doing anything else.

The current roster minus a possible Juke add is probably equivalent talent wise to this past team and the models reflect that.

It’s probably pretty good, but certainly not elite. It is what is is. Just trying to be grateful for their efforts

 

[Utvol3]

I work here lol, I’ll try and get some intel on Nate and do my best to get him to come back on May 9th!

 

[berryvol]

Yup very sad that the saga is almost over. Still love our team, assuming we add at least 1 of Juke/Ament. Now it’s gonna be another few days/weeks of butt clenching waiting on those dominoes to fall.

I meant cooked with our chances to get Tanner not that the entire team is bad.

It's the truth.

Someone NOT in the portal can transfer LOL

Get him, dog and ask Eddie George about that Bill Duff stop on 4th down in the Citrus Bowl

Think we will be better this season than last. Better offense
