2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

[HeuperDrive]

I mean, I’d more excited if we actually had a chance.

Yeah realistically, I don’t see any way he comes here. He’s either staying at Duke or going to Miami. Pretty clear cut situation imo, but it’s fun to wishcast.

(When I first posted the news about this, I considered just pinging you and saying “I’ll let you take it from here bro” lol)

I agree the sin was hiring that punk. He brings destruction everywhere he has been. Look at the teams he has been the coach. Raiders- they have gone from one of the premiere NFL franchises to a joke. Tennessee - he left us in shambles and wandering in the wilderness for over a decade. USC - Historically a Rose Bowl staple, after Lame, one Rose Bowl in well over a decade. I think they have only been in 2 New Year's Six bowl. FAU - cellar dwellers since Lame left. Ole Miss - entering the abyss.
And LSU I predict will be hiring Henry Winkler with in the next five years.

All true. Chances are he won't win LSU a championship either. I actually like Ole Miss' coach. Pete Golding seems like a solid guy and coach.

Unfortunately, we need quantity and quality this year.

Close strong, Heup!

Plus his girlfriend goes there. That was going to be difficult to pull no matter what

coaches gotta start recruiting the players girlfriends first at this point

Or introduce them to a new one on their visit

Between two desperate teams needing a QB, they will pay more. Only because they legitimately don’t have a QB on their roster worth a damn like we do.

Hugh freeze got that idea killed at Ole Miss.

The rules seem to change from year to year though. And certainly, litigating the termination an older contract is much different than litigating a deal you just signed 2 weeks ago.

Don't confuse the rules of the NCAA and those in civil court.

 

[brentcontractor]

We need 2 great QBs to portal. One for Miami & One for us. Otherwise it will be a huge bidding war.

We lost a lot to graduation and transfer as well. We need 2-4 more Dlinemen, 1 more olinemen (Probably the WVU kid), a RB, a qb, and another db or two. So hopefully we can find some more quality out there.

[TrippieRedd]

Hopefully some other QB enters today.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Where else bro going? Miami?! Don’t make me laugh lol

If Miami wants him they'll have him.

 

[knoxvol52]

Randy Poffenbarfer doesn't turn crank your chain?

 

[KB5252]

We are in the arbitrage segment of the portal window. Now it's who has the best counsels and the most money.

These are the issues that will force collective bargaining.

 

[BigOrangeShark]

alright,... that hour of excitement, wonder, and "what if" was fun. Time to go back to real life. if we BOOM, someone let me know.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

I think you will see in the future team buying out players or compensating the school in order for them to release them. Like any other deal in the real world. It was only a matter of time before the schools started to protect themselves and wrestle away some of the absolute power that was held by the players.

That will cut down on both tampering and player movement.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Still - my amusement in their fall at the hands of a guy that screwed us is reaching a diminishing return - stop stop he's dead comes to mind.

Lane is making a lot of enemies. He would make a pretty good attorney, because he has zero moral compass.

 

[rikberry31]

I like Golding is a good coach too. He maybe the right man to shorten Ole Miss' sentence and the Curse of Kiffin. Lame will be the end of LSU too. He will go missing after he hits on the Governor's wife.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

In case UT fans think we are rhe only poverty school

That's a pretty f'd up thing for a fan to say about a kid that commits to their school.

 

[DD4ME]

Them Ole Miss fans down so bad

 

[deatojl]

Just a thought exercise but, if it is true that Duke controls the rights to either his NIL rights, revenue rights or both, what happens if they decide they don't want to play ball with Miami as a conference rival who reportedly has tampered to get him into the portal? What if Duke goes to Mensah and says "we're not releasing you from your contract for Miami but we will negotiate with you for a team from another conference?

 

[UTK]

If Miami wants him they'll have him.

Grok just told me Tennessee is trending

 

[rikberry31]

One of my dying wishes is to see the day when Lane Kiffin becomes the Head Coach at Alabubba. I think he will save his best for last and total devastate them so thoroughly that they drop the football program.
