2025 Transfer Portal Thread

[HypeVol2020]

Did we add him? I’d rather not complain about my chickens before they hatch.

Nothing official although rumored since yesterday he might be coming here.

 

[CornbreadVol]

Yea something is off. It was written by a Kentucky media guy

Article was probably pre-written and published on accident

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Scored 18 & grabbed 14 Rebs against Texas this past year...not too shabby for a bench piece

Yes, he had 3-4 good games and a lot of games where he didn't do anything.

 

[Smokey 77]

At this point, this might be a realistic portal roster:
PG-Gillespie
SG-Rice
SF-Freeman
PF-Folgueiras
C-Carey
These five players to go with the seven that we already have on our roster might be an SEC title contender!

[TheMookieMonster]

Not sure why we are complaining about adding another big man when our lack of depth in the frontcourt was one of the biggest weaknesses this year.

I mean he’s fine, but he doesn’t have great size so he can’t play the 5 to spell Okpara. I’m sure he’s just a depth piece, but we dont have any proven post scorers, a guy you can just toss down into the post and get a bucket. I’m not really sure he’s that guy, but I guess we’ll see.

I know people will point to his two big games against us, but those were more of the exceptions not the rule.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

I’m not sure how I feel about Carey. He’s not that exciting of an addition honestly.

Imma need you to ease up on the wet blanket routine.

 

[VolGee4]

Yeah that's definitely crazy. He averaged 8 points a game and didn't start for a fringe tournament team. He's a scrappy bench guy who happened to have two good games against us and didn't do a whole lot the rest of the year.

He was just a true sophomore. You would expect further improvement. 10 and 7 is very good bench production. While Carey isn’t a stretch 4, Milicic only gave us 9+ and 7.

Carey cannot be your center. He’s 6’8”.

I’m not sure realistic is the right term there. Maybe best case scenario

 

[berryvol]

Huge, if true!

 

[MarcoVol]

In my personal opinion, as long as Duke's "shadow collective" is funneling NIL money through private investment, it's gonna be very hard to beat them for HS recruits that they really, really want.

Well that and they’re one of the most storied programs in all of college bball

I hate those stories.

I’ve barely posted in this thread. I haven’t commented on a single player other than Carey, so I’m not sure you can categorize it as a wet blanket routine. It’s one guy.

Plus the 3 5th year seniors they are likely holding spots for.

Glad thats over... I will go in my hole now.

Wake me up when we want another tennessee kid.

Go vols

Carey will have 3 years and will continue to get stronger. Good pickup. We have plenty of room.

Brother imma be honest…I have no idea who this is and when I searched his name nothing came up except for a dude who averaged 6 ppg at NC central

 

[oldaaucoach]

Is Steen still a realistic option? Really like his game.

Not trying to start an argument but I've looked at his highlights and I would rather have several others like: Nehimiah Turner, or Marques Johnson or even Malique Ewin. What is it that you like so much about his game.

Lmao I don't even think Diante "The Cyclone" Johnson is a real guy

Do you think I Top Soccer.com would have the scoop of a 5 star basketball recruit at least 3 days before anyone else did, and that no one would even be talking about it except some woman in a Vols Facebook group?

 

[allvolrecruiting]

Would add a lot of things Tennessee doesn't have. Post-up efficiency, rebounding (especially offensive), and ASSERTIVE physicality. Also plays with a fire and energy that will be nice to add losing some of the guys this team is
