2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

why does the caption say Juwan Gary?

In business, you interview, decide who is the best candidate and make them an offer. That person who we offered is almost certainly chasing multiple interviews and offers. So, actually getting your top top choice is always a little bit of a gamble.
Juke (and his agents) is/are conducting multiple interviews and getting multiple offers ... it is not a failure on our part (Tennessee's part) if he signs with another 'business'! It happens.
People interviewing don't always take the most money. Sometimes, they shoot for what they believe is the best quality of life.
I'm suggesting we stop rubbing our hands together and worrying. Pick up a good book and read it. Go play pickleball. Go swim some laps or play a round of golf. We made a good faith offer. We'll find out Juke's decision ... when he makes it.

Why are you being rational? That is no fun.

Subpar closed captioning I guess? lol

All you who are freaking out about Juke Harris need to go listen to what Chris Low said on Bob Baskerville's podcast last night

'I think we'll probably hear something this week' - Insider thinks Wake Forest transfer guard Juke Harris is trending to Tennessee

The Tennessee Vols' top remaining portal target is Wake Forest Demon Deacons transfer guard Juke Harris, who could be making a decision on his future this week. Harris is considering Tennessee, Michigan, UNC, and the NBA Draft. 'I think we'll probably hear something this week' - Insider thinks...

Yes

Rick Barnes and his staff have stayed in consistent, frequent
communication, making it clear Harris is a top priority for the Vols. He strongly considered Tennessee out of high school and nearly landed in Knoxville before a last-second change of heart led him to Wake Forest. With Michigan's momentum cooling and North Carolina filling up other spots, Tennessee has emerged as the leader, but the NBA Draft still looms large.

Juke + Okpara = National Championship

But I thought Trilly said we couldn’t wait?

 

[RyanWalkerPGH]

While I understand Okpara is a bigger need, would they really not find a way to bring Ja’Kobi back as well?

Maybe he was talking about our fans

Trilly's reputation has taken a bit of a hit during this portal cycle IMO

Then again, he also said that Chaz Lanier would be a Kentucky Wildcat and we saw how that went

Acting like Juke's the the next Michael Jordan. Guy's a transfer sophomore with decent but not elite stats. Go outside and play. The ACC went 2-14 against the SEC in 2024, and the other teams on its schedule aren't exactly SEC-caliber. Sure we want him, but yall are gonna have a heart attack worrying over this kid.

You can go back to the Michigan boards now

Just last week you were saying Juke is the missing puzzle piece (which he is) and that you hope that we can win the bidding war (which by all reports we have)

No one is acting like he's the next MJ, but he's a top 5 portal player and would be higher rated than DK, Chaz, and JG.

He played in the ACC on a bad team, but it's not like Chaz and DK's teams were that good either and they played in worse leagues.

Juke is everything we needed on this past years team... He's a guy that if you need a bucket he's going to go get it. Not the best shooter, but the way he can drive and attack the basket is elite. He's a perfect compliment to our shooters Hill, Ames, and Lundblade. If Barnes wants to run ISO for him like he did DK, he can!

I have a feeling this is Barnes last year, and we are giving him every resource he needs to make it to the final four. Hopefully we can afford Juke in the bidding war. That is the last piece of the puzzle. I'm not concerned about a center.

Interesting. Very interesting
