2026 Transfer Portal Thread

[TrippieRedd]

Would be happy to continue searching mid major ranks for players. It has worked out reasonably well for Barnes. I think we need at least 3 from the portal. PG, 2G and SF would be first and depending on what happens on our roster and with pending high school recruits can fill in a defensive shot blocker and stretch 4 as needed.

Juke Harris (Wake Forest) would come at a premium if he enters portal and doesn’t go into NBA draft. He can flat out play. If I remember correctly we were among his final offers out of high school.

A ton of SEC schools will be portal hunting this year. Georgia potentially brings a lot of players back but that is about it.

Juke Harris and Jeremiah Wilkinson.

Win the whole thing.

yeah I think he is an incredible offensive player, although he might be as bad on defense as he is good on offense.

But is he a good mate, willing to work on being a better defender like Knecht or is he in the mold of Carr?

 

[cncchris33]

Knecht was a very poor defender when he got here, I think there’s some realization they are more likely to be able to teach defense rather than teach shooting

I agree. I've advocated on that front for quite some time as you're aware.

I know this won’t happen, but can we try and make a pact where we don’t post all 3,000 portal entries into a single thread this year?

Don’t worry about me this year.

I hardly post now. It should be smooth this year.

I’m only going to post names I’ve heard associated with Tennessee, hopefully folks will only post similar

Don’t let them dull your flame. I want to see you post every D2 shooting guard that even thinks about transferring

Just busy with life.


I’m sure I’ll find and post some guy from outskirts of Jamaica that plays with a rubber band ball averaging 19 / 5 / 5.

You are one of my favorites. I enjoyed your posts and the I think most of the folks that maybe did not respond as positively are actually secretly fans of your posts also.

 

[AurantiacoFan]

I will violate the known TN transfer target only this one time...I promise...but it is only because I really want us to get this young man. I hope Georgia's Somto Cyril enters the portal after the tournament and Barnes nabs him. I think he would fit nicely into our system.

If this a genuine post, then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

If this is a sarcastic post, then meet me at Waffle House for a manly game of cornhole

 

[Dougie_D]

We gotta take transfers who can stay 2-3 year. If the player doesn’t pan out at least you can shift gears in recruitment

We can all dream

He just needs to score more than he gives up.
