2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[volsarelife1]

I said I would let it play out. We’re 3.5 hours from the portal closing. Only 15 of the top 100 guys in the portal are available and you haven’t land a commitment from either of your two biggest targets this cycle (Juke & Tanner, obviously).

You land Juke or talk Ament back then I think you have something. Otherwise, you’re no better off than last season. I thought the goal was to get Rick to a Final Four? Just making my position known

You can't say Tanner was a target when he wasn't even in the portal.

That's like me saying I have a target for a threesome with Sydney Sweeney and Margot Robbie

As long as we get Juke, then all this Tanner stuff was just a fun distraction to help pass the time.

Plus maybe an unpopular opinion but I’d much rather have a year two Ament over Tanner as well

I would rather have Ament as well but I think it has always felt more realistic that we tamper with Tanner than convince a lottery pick to return.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I stated pretty clearly that landing Juke would alter my current opinion. Still optimistic there.

My perception of what’s left in the portal is that it’s relatively bare. As discussed, I think 1-2 depth bigs are probably in the cards but certainly wouldn’t change my outlook unless it’s one of the “elite” ones that seemingly are carrying odd requests.

So Juke and 2 depth bigs doesn’t change the outlook?

 

[Vols410]

Oh we’re freaking out again now?

That’s… fun I guess.

What is deal with Diop and Thiam? They are both bigs that would help us specifically with teams like Florida.

We have a daily alarm set on our phones so that we don’t forget

It would, I was referring to just two depth bigs sans Juke.

Juke is the straw that stirs the drink.

Idk, maybe you should call them and tell them we have $13m for them to split

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

I agree, I just don't see it getting passed.

Even if it does its easy to see what it does for us but several other teams could actually be more impacted than us. I hope it doesn't pass.

So then we’ve not tripped over our dick to close if Juke is still out there (and currently a lean) then…thanks for making my point.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Could we instead kill a Kentucky fan? Or the Vandy whistler? I’m unfamiliar with this approach

Most Kentucky fans would likely appreciate the break.

UCLA & Kentucky for Yessoufou per Trilly

Can I just be salty for 10 minutes over not landing Tanner?

Wait, the Tanner thing was fun? I was supposed to be having fun?

 

[Volpatine]

The ones I know are currently in a delusion over this new football coach
They think bc he landed a high school recruit they’re going places.
I actually feel sorry for their perception of what competing is in that sport…

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Sure man

 

[Ryno14]

Yep. Kentucky always made perfect sense. Can already see myself cursing that guy come February

 

[Volpatine]

UCLA & Kentucky for Yessoufou per Trilly

Man I’ve never been a bigger Cronin fan than I am right now

 

[volsarelife1]

No. You're overly emotional and acting as bad as Kentucky fans

 

[BreatheUT]

I've spent roughly 34.78% of my life in the woods, to include your parts (in AK for 3 years).

I welcome any Yeti, Sasquatch, Grizzly, Mountain Lion, etc. Y'all don't want this smoke

You can't beat his profile pic though. He took it after a visit to Great Clips.

 

[AllVols3]

Such a promising start to the portal just to trip over your own dick at the finish line lol

You mad bro because your team is ducking in the portal. Yiu sound lije a jealous little biatch.

 

[Smokeyshowl66]

So let me see if I understand…

If Harris signs with the good guys and Ament returns, you run a raffle and then the winner gets to pick who you kill?

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

No. You're overly emotional and acting as bad as Kentucky fans

Overly frustrated and “emotional” over Tennessee athletics as a whole.

I need a National Title Contender in hoops to make up for having to watch a dog **** football team go 6-6, 7-5 in Year 6 lol

Can you take your anxiety out on a different message board?
