2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[Legion of Doom]

What exactly is our staff doing?

Very disappointed in them. They don’t even have top players lined up for visits. Hagerty to A&M is silly.

 

[vol94]

ahh yes. I thought you meant "big man" as a major pickup. Not literally a big man that's a depth piece

Ah, sorry about that. Should’ve said “rim protector”

 

[Legion of Doom]

Why are we not checking in on Thiam if we have 15 plus million to spend?

 

[OrangeInKy]

Man I hate those guys.

They have a machine that prints $1,000,000 bills in their facility.

At my house for a BBQ

Hey. That was supposed to be a secret. Have we learned nothing

This has gone from a train wreck to a disaster.

We assumed they had this big plan and they don’t seem to be organized. No excuse to not have any top options in for visits this weekend. Hagerty to A&M is nonsense. Why were we not in on that at all?

The Haslam family is spending like a half of a billion dollars on Cleveland quarterbacks. Can they not find a couple of hundred thousand dollars to help win some of these bidding wars?

Scrap it all. And baseball. And Lady Vols too. All three programs are now cellar dwellers moving fwd.

If they don’t add an impact transfer after losing JP no way they come close to elite 8 next year. Get some of these players to help roster.

Terrence Hill absolutely went off against some high quality teams in the tournament. Seems like a really good bet to me.

We should probably be annexed to Canada. The whole state is cooked. We had a good run.

we aren't going to sign a multi-million dollar contract with these guys until we get a face to face with them.

The teams rushing to sign guys rn aren't doing their due dilligence

Idk seems we try too offer little money but say we can coach you better than these other schools blah blah ... these kids want $$$ that's all its about now... either we put up or just get left behind

UM just won a chip man. Maybe that strategy needs to be revisited.

Pj haggerty is a scoring machine

 

[Jimmy Football]

Is it time to move on to international players yet? Asking for a friend.

 

[oldaaucoach]

I'm just speaking facts. Awaka didn't turn into a magical unicorn at Arizona, he was the same guy he was here. DJ Burns was average as hell for 5 years and his team had a hot streak late in his 5th year. Carr scored hollow points on a team that didn't require effort on one end of the floor.

They didn't represent some massive failure by Barnes, which is what the post I responded to implied.

Good grief. I won't speak for others, but I am not suggesting it was a massive failure by CRB. I am just saying that it is hard to deny that these guys blossomed after their days at UT. It is OK to admit that. It doesn't make you a disloyal Vols fan. There are players that came into the UT program and blossomed under CRB. It's OK to a acknowledge that without suggesting that their former coaches were terrible. Players blossom in different programs for a variety of reasons: different philosophies, different schemes, maturity, different players around them, etc. So the same applies to players who blossom in other programs after leaving UT. And yes, Burns, Carr, and Awaka did blossom after leaving. If you don't agree then that's fine, we can agree to disagree.

Weren’t you the insider and the hype guy telling everyone we were getting Tanner & Juke?

So what did I miss?
