2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

[DD4ME]

Just got a long snapper commit.

 

[InVOLuntary]

The rumor is GMAC has only been at Tennessee for 1 year... Don't kill the messenger.

He was here for a recruiting visit 2 years prior. That counts IMO.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Just landed a big fish, a Snapper.

 

[DD4ME]

Snapper's deserve a boom too.

 

[Ttucke11]

True, I was thinking he was a redshirt freshman. My mistake. Point remains though. He will never see meaningful snaps unless something catastrophic happens.

QB is going to be a weird rotating door from now on I think.

 

[WilliamDuVOL]

It was all about the money.

Glad the kid got paid. Happier that we didn’t pay.

After his performance in the MCB I don’t think a raise was in his future with the Vols.

I'll reiterate what I said earlier. If we land Coleman I do not care. Having players at every level of defense who are already familiar with Knowles's scheme will be a massive advantage for making the learning curve less steep for others. It'll allow the guys who are less familiar to react naturally rather than have to think more.

 

[UTwild82]

Hell yeah! Welcome to Rocky Top. MAN it is feeling good in here this morning!

 

[Dadof2Vols]

He has been on campus 1 year at this point right? The fact that he can’t put on weight is a concern but then again our S&C sucked this year too. Maybe that’s the issue.

I am a certified expert at putting on weight. CJH should hire me to show the kids how to gain weight. I grow a pound a week.

 

[dmwvol12]

Totally agree - but 2 things
That means you spent QB money (2+ of the 3+) on Coleman or someone better...who?

You still need a portal QB for depth. A cheap one with experience. (Whatever is left of the 3.5)...who?

Taron Dickens is my choice. His best offer is Syracuse.

Agree as well. It's hard to fathom that one of our young 5 stars can't operate at a level above Nico. Nico was simply terrible in his year as a starter. Had arm talent but literally nothing else. Couldn't process, anticipate, inaccurate and the offense had to literally be dumbed down to a high school level for him to function. I simply find it hard to believe that a more experienced guy from a smaller school or one of our youngsters that we are paying significant can't run Heupels offense. We need to improve our defense immensely or it doesn't matter who we have at quarterback. Joey was an afterthought and he was an upgrade for half the price. Trinidad Chambliss was simply a depth piece for Ole Piss a year ago. We can buy a lot of defensive studs for 2-3 million.

 

[Ratvol]

Did his PSU position coach go to uscjr?

If that's the case, it's the only reason I can figure why he'd even visit there.
Beamer is crazier than an outhouse rat.

Who you calling an outhouse rat?

 

[Cobb-Webb 1989]

Did Kendrick Raphael show up?

 

[DD4ME]

It's sad man

 

[VolNash17]

Oh the 2026 OL has played already?

Oh, Just going off the past five seasons of OL play and tendencies in big games.

 

[kong]

Ayyyyyy, mazel!

over 10k people have watched a long snapper's highlights. The transfer portal is electric

 

[DD4ME]

Shoots to the top of my fan favorite list...

 

[ConwayFitty]

heck

Snapper's deserve a boom too.

Yeah they do! A bad snap can cost a game... we have seen it multiple times, especially on FG attempts

 

[dmwvol12]

Eric is saying that - the question currently is how far along the sweepstakes scale is the guy we pick?

Yeah, I don't think anybody is saying we don't need a quarterback, I think the question is what route do we go. Blow the bank an a top rated guy or try and find an experienced more affordable option from a smaller school. If Joey can't come back, I prefer the more affordable option and putting more resources in other positions. Heupel and company obviously have more information than us and will ultimately make a decision.

Hat hair at its finest....

 

[SoonerAndVol]

You sure about that? Hmmm

No I am not sure. I said both things aren't clear and called the 2nd one a rumor while expressing UT skepticism.

I am the guy that has consistently reported the staff feeling like they were in a good spot for Chaz. While confidence wasn't as high a say for Gilliam, they have always felt like they had a great shot at landing Chaz

Watched him play several games in the playoffs. Really good and would fit Heupel's offense well. Sign him up.

He looks like he's still in high school

 

[Type Orange+]

Who you calling an outhouse rat?

Well, I was being PG because that isn't exactly the way we say it around here.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Guys…. Stop and think…. If a poster showed up and said he’s friends with a coach who works with Knowles…. And that poster game some info, but then continued to give in depth information on the inner workings our not only our portal actions but also the financials etc of other teams…. How gullible would you have to be to believe him?

Just asking

 

[MemphisVol3]

Ayyyyyy, mazel!

He already tackles better than our defense did last year lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Snapper's deserve a boom too.

Equal opportunity boomer here.
