Would be a great pickup if he could back out of the NFL Draft next week and come to UT for next season lol

right should've been more clear - I meant long term in that while he won't be a huge contributor his one year here but if he's the number 1 pick/1st rounder, he'll make way more money over his career (to potentially give back to the program down the road) and provide publicity which is much more...

Wouldn't another way to think about the Rice/Ament NIL difference be long term ROI? Based on where we are today, yes, it's likely that Rice would be a bigger impact next year but Ament clearly has the higher long term earning (assume he donates money in the future) and publicity potential?

I mean Nico wasn't what we expected last year but this is ridiculous on several levels. Will Howard was pretty good at K-State prior to OSU. And never mind that Will Howard was handed the Maserati having i) a future top 5 pick in Smith to throw to, ii) a likely 1st round receiver in Egbuka as...

I agree on Big O, I was surprised I didn't see any buzz about him, so much so I had to double check a couple weeks back to see if he was back at UT next year. Regarding Pearce, a ton of smoke of him having major character issues is what's causing him to fall. For reference here is a write up...

I know this is a transfer portal thread and I hate to be that guy but in an analytics sense, this Florida team is the 8th best team in the past 30 years per KenPom. The guy who said it's one of the best teams he's seen in his 27 years is not wrong. In fact all four final four teams are among the...

You post a new dream lineup every four hours! Lol

While it looked gruesome, it was an ankle dislocation fracture, which is much better than tearing an Achilles or ACL. Judging by other athletes who had the injury, it’s a ~6 month recovery time, so he should be ready by fall season for sure. I’d imagine he’s certainly out for spring ball though.

I'm far from writing off Thornton - he was learning a new position (slot) and offense at the beginning of the year, which judging prior statements made by coaches, is not easy to pick up right away if you're a WR. He also got hyped like he did because the coaching staff hyped him up via his...

Yep and his decommitment led us to taking the commitment from another lowly ranked three star - Cedric Tillman (had offers from UNLV, Hawaii at the time). Kind of funny how luck plays a role in everything.

I'm pretty sure that Penn State is a near lock of making a NY6 game now.

Am I reading it right that the Citrus Bowl was in attendance at the Vandy game? Would be strange for them to still consider us after the Mizzou/UGA losses if so. They technically still could pick us - they're not required to pick the highest ranked SEC team available.

To be fair, I think a lot of places did that because that was his last year announcing so it was a bit of a farewell tour.

True story - I was visiting Boston and was at the Cheers bar in February 2020 and we were playing an afternoon game against Mississippi State in basketball and there was coincidentally a couple of other Vols fans there watching the game lol

Drowning is actually the number one cause of death for 1-4 year olds.
