2025 Transfer Portal

[AngryButchJones]

Okay, gotta give "insider" props to Knox Nation and Coach Jumper, y'all had the info, and I know I (like others) doubted. So I admit I was wrong!

Secondly, I love Barker's fit in CKC's system. She's the exact kind of big we need for rebounding and an added offensive boost to the post.

 

[Rickster]

Okot, Wolfenbarger , and then Kitts.

We played a lot against Wolfenbarger and I don't remember her doing much against us.

 

[Orange007]

this is huge news! welcome janiah! i have no doubt kim pulled out the stats from her players last season and said "do you want to shoot the ball and be free? then put the orange on baby!

this addition means will can compete with any team when we sub out players due to rotations or foul trouble. literally, a game changer.

 

[PRG]

Okot would make us a FF contender.

I have no interest in Wolfenbarger at this point other than as simply a depth recruit. Don’t think she’d see the floor much and doesn’t have much eligibility left.

Baby Kitts is a great pickup imo due to her eligibility and potential.

Agree with the younger Kitt’s.. makes for a stronger future teams !

 

[th2421]

Totally agree about keeping our core players. I fully anticipated some other teams to try to lure our players with promises of more playing time or $$, and we managed to keep everybody who is essential.

Now don't you dare jinx us! Still got about 35 hours before the portal closes!

 

[VolBall09]

We now have the players to truly run the system how Kim wants. We can play big AND fast or small AND fast.

No team will be able to matchup with us. I can see us running Barker and Spearman together some against smaller teams. They’re both quick with size, will be impossible to guard.

This past season we got really slow after 6 deep. Not the case now.

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

FYI... Tennessee is hosting a BIG this week.

You have my respect. Appreciate you.

What were Fudd stats when UConn played Tennessee?

Doofus ducks, dodges and deflects. This is the transfer portal thread. Fudd is not in the portal.
To answer your lame attempt at redirection, Fudd had an awful game against Tennessee.
Here is how she did against the very talented #1 seed UCLA team in the Final Four.

Just trying to make a guess here based on size left in the portal:

6'6"
- ADR (not coming here)
- Madina Okot (also presumably not coming here)

6'5"
- Jersey Wolfenbarger
- Sakima Walker (don't think she's coming here)

6'4"
- Imani Lester
- Kylee Kitts
- Tabitha Amanze

I'd say anyone with 2+ years of eligibility left; otherwise, we're still left with Latham as our only "big" going into the 2026-27 season (not counting the 2026 HS class or any transfers next year, of course, but it would be nice to return at least 2 with some experience in the system). I think Kitts should have 4 years still remaining since she didn't actually play this year, and Lester and Amanze look like they both have 2 years remaining.

There is also that other Miss St big she is one that could develop into a very good player Montague. There is Sidwell who is not a real big but plays like a big when it comes to rebounding.

I was thinking the same re Zee and Janiah being able to play together.

Both can move, create their own shoot, and are decent 3pt shooters. Janiah can guard really well on the perimeter too.

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

None needed,, Nation
You did break it,,,I had to hold my tongue and hint about it
Kudos to you Bud

Well you were right. I apologize for doubting. Just so many posters get on here and claim they're an insider so it's sometimes hard to differentiate. Have my respect. Both of you.

Yes and she will get better looks in our system. UCLA offense is terrible. It’s Betts ball or bust there. Barker wasn’t getting anything but garbage looks

Need Judd and Okot, come on over and join us on this journey.

Oh noooo i take it all back!!!

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

I'm thinking it will be Ashton or Milaysia,,,next?
Hmmm
Not smilin yet, but we're in the hunt

Oh hell yeah!!

 

[Hexad Vol]

I like Dayana Mendes' highlights. She has some size and quickness, scores from 3 levels, seems to anticipate on defense. I don't see any film of one on one defense, but she has the physical tools for that and rebounding.

Would be a great get for sure. Three years left and super high ceiling. Had a great freshman season

 

[Volfan2012]

Barker's averages may not look like much, but have to remember she wasn't getting a lot of time on the court and when she was out there Betts was getting most of the action inside. She will have a lot more opportunity at Tennessee. She just makes out inside offense and defense so much better that it was .

 

[ttharp]

Yes! Kim’s 5-out offense is perfect for Janiah.

Good luck guarding her one on one.

I think she is going to develop into a tremendous player. Hard to see if she could get enough playing time with us, but certainly a take for anyone.

 

[VolBall09]

I’ll tell you one thing. SkimMilkey doesn’t know jack about Tennessee this season. Usually pretty good intel but no sources anymore.

Said as of this morning there was no lean on Barker lmao. Made a fool outta him right quick.

Seems he lost a lot of SEC contacts this year. Everyone is afraid of getting players poached. MSST had players cancel visits due to leaked info. They’re gonna be so bad next season.

 

[VolBall09]

She will have a lot more opportunity at Tennessee. She just makes out inside offense and defense so much better that it was .

She averaged 13 and 7 at A&M. If she can do that for us that would be huge.

 

[Volfan2012]

I could see her doing exactly what Spearman did this season. Having two that can do it is a lot better than one. Just like all out 1 through 13 never seen us have 13 players where you didn't experience a huge drop off. I don't see much in the top 11 and very little in the last two.

 

[Volfan2012]

We could pick her up has a lot of playing years left. Player with a lot of talent that could be developed.
