2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

Anthony Richardson was a freak of nature also, I bet the Colts wish they would've just took a DB or WR now...

I wish the Colts had drafted Tua…

It is odd when one mouthy, arrogant a-hole newbie disappears and another emerges soon after.

I just want to be clear that Johnny messageboards is not me. That guys a Moran and he never once waterboarded yall with statistics

I think we’re going to get Sorsby. Knowles will have the defense back in the top 50, maybe top 25 where we belong and the Vols are a playoff team

I don’t see him being worth the 4-5 million price tag. Think about it. If we spent that that means we can’t get the defensive players we need. And let’s be real. If you are paying that kind of money the QB had better be Cam Newton. And Soresby ain’t Cam.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

How do you know we won’t go that high? I’ve heard from those closer to the program that we gave doners that are willing to pay bigly. They are ready to win BIG now!

We are not winning big just by getting Soresby.

Except that’s the market now. Teams will pay that. Idk about the Vols but others will.

Yasin Willis could do serious damage in this offense.

Esp in the 2nd half of games

 

[Sandman Vol]

Is hoover the other guy besides sorsby or is there another name or two y’all have heard at qb

-AP

Really hope we don’t overpay for a mid qb. Not a comment in regards to Hoover, just a general sentiment as I’m not that wild about the qb market this go-around.

I mean isn’t the PAC 12 like 2 teams, so being names best OL in the conference is a bit hilarious.

I think it will create a bigger problem, it will make high 4-5 star QB's rethink the possibility of coming to Tennessee and playing early. I realize there will be pushback to this thinking but ask yourself how many of those high 4-5 star BELIEVE they aren't ready? When we go out and pay big money in the portal we are saying they will be the starter that year barring looking like total crap. You don't go out and buy a new Mercedes just to continue driving your Honda. It may not affect all the recruits but it will become something we will have to overcome that was our own making. I'm fine with bringing in a mid tier guy for a reasonable amount for depth and with the ability to vie for the starting position but spending big as the bulk here want WILL affect our recruitment of QB's in the future IMO.

Ohio St , UGA , Bama, LSU, they did what it took to win championships.
UGA won championships with a walk on ,
Didn’t worry about what 5 star recruits might do,
LSU took a transfer and won a Natty ,
Bama pushed a NC starter out the door for someone they thought was better.

Ohio st won with transfer after transfer.

Bottom line,, do what is gonna put you over the top, as a team.
If a recruit can’t except that, so be it.

We’re not winning big shopping at goodwill either.

Jaylen Raynor entered the portal.

Go get him and don’t look back. I’d take the risk.
