2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

Kiffin isn't going to have anywhere he can ever return to.

He doesn't just burn bridges. He lights them up, then gathers the ashes, and tries to burn them too.

What leak? I slept in today due to school delays:

Ole Miss's contract figures and what they're paying their players in NIL got leaked. Bunch of current OM players got pissed they aren't being paid as much as new arrivals and are hitting the portal as a result.

The only person who would have access to that information and directly benefit from it currently coaches in Baton Rouge. Thing is, it seems like leaking private confidential information like salaries/NIL payments should be illegal.

As dirty as Kiffin did us, he's doing far worse to Ole Miss (assuming he's the source of the "leak")

He tried to do worse to us, he just failed. He and Ogre were calling our recruits, trying to get them to back out from coming here.

Exactly. And there was no transfer portal to fill the gaps. It was a blood clot in the life blood of our program

The fact that he is celebrated instead of roundly condemned and committed to a psych ward is an indictment of our far our society has fallen. We used to put people like him in padded cells

He's going to make some lunatic fan really mad someday

If we’re getting a QB, I think they enter last minute to box in GMAC.

Probably more likely that we are waiting to announce so as not to bring attention to who we are talking to and instigate a bidding war with Miami.

The 30 for 30 for Lane is going to have to be a limited series instead of one episode.

Good God, we have like 12/13 DL (minimum weight of 285) we need another BIG BODY for nose but I would think that’s about it, current roster is 100, max is 105 and we still need a QB, RB, OL another S. That would be a total of 105 unless someone was told to go elsewhere.

So many things to unpack. Let me start with we have no idea how big the roster is currently. Not all the previous walk-ons might return. And, if they do, I believe they can be grandfathered in and not necessarily count toward the 105. Also, are you counting guys going to the NFL or who are out of eligibility in that number?

Second, 3 more DL. 300lb+ space=eaters. That's what I'd like to see.

Third, you forgot another CB and they want a TE.

Reading Donte Moore is getting 7.5 million from Oregon next year just reminds me how unsustainable this nil stuff is.

Maybe not for Oregon and Miami and Texas a&M who have billionaire fan boys at their disposal. But how is a team like Tennessee expected to keep Faizon and Keys and all the other elite blue chip guys we just signed in Knoxville when QBs are getting 4 million and receivers 2 million and edge rushers 1-3 million etc. You’d need 40 million plus a year to field a roster

Write 'em a check

 

[volbeast33]

Rarely do QBs and WRs go to warm weather to work on chemistry with a qb that won’t be playing. I think GMAC and the receivers think he will be the starter.

 

[LittleVol]

Why can’t we have a coach that tampers like Lane?

About to grab Seaton smh

HUEPEL has integrity.

Lane Train is a $lut bus. Oops can I say that?

Well that’s what he is.

 

[Batman1948]

We prob got 40M with rev share + NIL

I think the $40M figure is outside of the revenue sharing which is at most $13M for football

"the leak"?

He's not crazy, he's cold-blooded. If he wasn't a football coach, he'd be a master criminal or a serial killer. He has no morals. The guy "rented" a dog and pretended it was his. Shows just how calculated he can be. He probably pulls the wings off of house flies.

My guess is that these guys are having fun with the fan base while they're in Florida for the National Championship game on Monday night.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Time to shore up the big boys up front.

 

[swchandler1988]

I haven't looked at it too closely, but I'm somewhat worried about our edge rusher depth. We lost like 5 to the portal and only added 2 at that position.

DE: Dye/Weathersby/J Carter/Rivers/Finch
NT: Gilliam/Campbell/House/Albert/Nuk
DT: Hobbs/Robinson/Utley/Gooden
LEO: Coleman/Norman/Gass/Groves/Golston/Harris/Edwards

 

[NMVol]

Y'all need to stop jawing about Kitten.

Ya, definitely may require me to up my Vol Club contribution.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Dye is still around; the ones who left are Ross, Loftin, Herring, Okoye, and Lindstrom (and only two of those were "contributors")

The trio of Dye, Utley and Campbell are probably going to surprise people. They aren't valued at all even though they were out there playing as grown ass true freshmen. All highly rated and all flashed. They were just a tad underweight is all. Going to be a good DL. I am a little worried about depth and experience behind Gilliam and Hobbs though. Would be nice to add another big vet. Mathis I'm sure is talented, but still.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Y'all can call for GMac all you want, but I won't complain a bit if Faizon beats him out. Dude is supposed to be built different, we'll see if that's the case

I think we want the player that is most ready to deliver. The coaches will figure this out. GBO

3 more DL's? Prepare to be disappointed.
