2025/26 Transfer Portal Thread

Adults can jump off a jungle gym. Ask Big Orange Train. We aren’t going to sign every player we want nor will we always get the first visit.

Some players just don't want to play for UT. For whatever reason. They aren't gonna want to hear that either.

 

[Volpatine]

I’ll visit for $25k.

If a fan visits it costs us 25k

Whew. You’ve talked me off the ledge of the jungle gym.

I didn’t say it had to be always or every.

I agree the class is solid but the optics are worrisome that it’s held up by PSU defensive relationships. Thankful we have those.

Will we be able to depend on those next time?

 

[Weezer]

I can’t speak for others, but I’m such a dick because my father flicked beer bottle caps at me for fun.

I suffered through Kiffin, Dooley, Butch, and Pruitt. Not to mention I went through the Wade Houston era of basketball. Honorable mention to Lady Vols basketball without Pat. So yeah, I have reasons. Even the strongest would break after going through all that.

Shew, AC and Campbell with spillman and perlotte as sub LB’s would feed families

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

We have to start pushing for first visit for guys we want. And then not let them leave until they sign. Even the athletic department’s state run media (AP and Hubbs) are saying the same thing, which shows they are just as dumbfounded and frustrated about the results.

If we didn’t have the defensive PSU connections in this transfer portal class, I’d wager this class would have been a legit dumpster fire disaster…

Wow, really surprised you put your rational thought processes in play with conjecture driven LOMish posts.

 

[Heupel's Offseason Beard]

This is by far our best offseason under Heupel and you guys just can't stop trying to ruin it.

 

[D-Vols]

We have 6 dl's coming in this years class,we will be fine.

At 305, Albert and Simmons may contribute year 1, muscle up putting on another 10/15 lbs by September.

With AC it will put food on the table…for anyone who runs shallow crossers

 

[KB5252]

That told you they knew they needed a Top QB. And to then ignore it was awful.

No it tells me we thought we had a shot at can't miss player, but when they were no longer an option we looked around and determined what we had was comparable, or a better fit.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Should start charging fans $5k to run through the T. Get 1,000 fans every game, that's an extra $23,549,000 to spend on visits in the portal. Should be able to get everyone's 1st visit.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

who is 99

 

[Weezer]

Ever heard of kidnapping? Lane Kiffin drugs coeds. Are we a serious progrum or not SF?!?

Damn you for thinking like me.

Beard: “YOU GUYS ARE RUINING IT!”

@Jackcrevol: “I just want a defensive tackle.”

2-3 of these guys are trolls, probably rival fans. Then we have a few negalodons who grab on to what they say and flip it into a crybaby show.

 

[UTK]

What magical tactics would you use to get the first visit and not let them leave? You think our plan is to get the third visit and chase them off? We got a good class and filled most of our needs. We’ll continue to fill them. Call your wife and tell her to come pick you up at the playground before you jump off the jungle gym into the wood chips.

What’s your legit opinion on Danny White basically saying we don’t tamper while everyone else does. I know it’s probably PR but are we really not tampering to the level everyone does because that’s insane if true.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Will be interesting to see if we have some unheralded but highly evaluated guys still in the portal OR OR OR have some soon to be grad guys staked out to get some experienced guys at QB and DT, maybe others. Bet there is a plan.

We could use some guys with experience.

Haven't you heard? If 28 leave, you have to bring 28 new ones in.

I’d assume our criminality is not as prolific as Kiffin’s, but I don’t want it to be. Tampering is kind of a bs concept at this point. Everyone talks to agents. Agents talk to all the teams that might be interested. No tampering required.
