2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[Unconditional Surrender]

Keeping in close contact is what keeps recruitments alive. It’s why we’re leading and Michigan’s not.

I was hoping we were well past keeping recruitment alive phase.

I was hoping we were well past keeping recruitment alive phase.

From everything we’re hearing we are, but I guess insurance never hurts.

 

[Jimmy Football]

Do we offer Juke’s major?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

As with Haralson, it may take a minute til Juke is public. Nothing bad afoot. Everything is on track from what I've heard.

Not sure I understand what you’re saying? Haralson visited and prior to boarding a flight home he was publicly committed to Tennessee?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

I’m just making a point. What’s the hold up? Barnes just fly out there to say hi? I mean…

Yea probably…I’m just glad Barnes was doing something, was starting to wonder WTF this staff was even doing!!!

 

[All Vol!]

Chaz didn't commit until May 24. Hunker down folks, we'll be alright.

I think he means it took a couple days until Haralson was official

Like officially signed

Right but he publicly committed in that case is what I think @bleedingTNorange is pointing out. Harris has not yet.

Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are the best places to visit in Texas.

I understand Austin as the capital, but why the other two?

Apparently they each have complicated deals. Juke may not announce until it’s all sorted. I understand Haralson announced first, but deal structure took awhile.

 

[Volpatine]

Are we sure Barnes hasn’t told Juke to not publicity commit so that other team chase their tales and we are 3 steps ahead like we have been this entire portal season?

Asking for a friend

Just saying folks…while they’re chasing a wild goose we are adding our last roster guy…someone they could have been pursuing…haven’t been told this but it seems to be the current trend.

Again, our staff feels good per my info. Nay, great.

Gotcha, get what you’re saying now. I think Juke going public like Haralson did would ease a lot of folks…part of the waiting to sign could also be allowing an out for NBA.

I don’t think he’s our last roster spot…

No I’m saying the other spot. While teams pursue Juke. We are looking to add more. Someone they could add.

Yeah just took a minute for him to sign

Yep. I seem to recall the same kind of hand wringing and BVSD flare-ups during the long wait.

 

[CheeseBings]

Do we offer Juke’s major

A degree in excellence is never a bad thing…..

 

[Just a VolinTears]

Do we offer Juke’s major?

I think that's probably the thing that's holding him back. They probably didn't and are hiring professors to make it happen!

If only we had learned that lesson a year ago…

 

[CamVol8]

I’m shaking

Also worse because we had to sweat through his late visit to Lexington. Thank God Pope is a pis* poor recruiter.

Massamba to UC-Davis, SIAP

Back in the old days, when I was working , we had a National Conference in Houston and the City served us well. My wife met some of her cousins in San Antonio and they had a great time. If you have to go to Texas, those are the places I would recommend.

I thought you were going to say the nightlife was popping and/or the cuisine was excellent. A conference and they served you well....and your wife had a good time with her cousins. Didn't really move the Richter scale but I do feel you're correct.
