2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

[StepCross]

Feels like there was more action in the dead period than this weekend lol.

Maybe you’re just not good at getting any action

 

[StepCross]

Was that for Gillespie last year?

Darlinstone dubar I think

 

[Skooter]

Carey is a valuable body down low. Yes, he’s a below the rim player but he has the physical traits to bang in the paint. Can also draw fouls from opposing teams big men when they feel they have to match his physicality.

Yes but has to want to draw fouls. Actually imo a better defender and defensive rebounder than JP as well because he will body players and go up with 2 hands for the rebound instead of no box out and going up with one hand, which results in too many missed rebound opportunities.

 

[Weezer]

Im the favorite and Weezer is having a tough time coming to terms.

That’s about it.

Look under my name. Not only am I the Dalai Lama, but it clearly says I am VN's most beloved poster. Do you think the internet lies, Wang Chung?

He was one who showed up in the tourney along with JG and Felix. If he focuses like he said, gets in shape and works hard the next few months on finishing and fts he can be a 10/10 player. Sometimes players just can’t shoot though so I don’t know if his fts will ever get better as he hasn’t improved over 4 years and you can’t have confidence as a player, teammate or coach getting the ball to a player on the post if everyone dreads him going to the ft line, including himself.

To me, bringing him back is a non-starter if he can't make himself into a minimum 60-63% FT shooter. When your primary value is scoring out of the low post and offensive boards, being at least a competent FT shooter is beyond mandatory. He has the ability, just work and make it happen.

 

[Legion of Doom]

I hope he comes back.

Were Carey and Tanner friends at Vandy? Could this help in getting Tanner to portal?

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Desmond Claude back in the portal lol

Point guard with length…

 

[TrapVol]

Were Carey and Tanner friends at Vandy? Could this help in getting Tanner to portal?

Makes one think, doesn’t it? On one hand, perhaps Carey got wind that Tanner was coming to Tennessee and it made him want to stay. On the other, perhaps they don’t get along and Carey wanted to come back as long as Tanner wasn’t coming to Tennessee.
Then, there’s the third scenario, that they are not related, this is pure speculation, overthinking, and a way to pass the time until real news happens.

Huh? We have 2 commits, likely 3 by end of day today or tomorrow, compare that to other schools.

I’m just talking more about the entire portal. It’s felt a bit quiet.

Who's the third ? Rubin ?

Gotcha…it was like that with football too, nobody waiting to announce their intentions until the portal actually opened, 90%+ were known by day 1.

 

[VolsNetClippers2025]

Rubin commit I think

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Or sooner…

 

[VolsNetClippers2025]

Two more backcourt two more frontcourt please!

 

[CornbreadVol]

3 top 100 portal players is a great start.

 

[VolsNetClippers2025]

Tanner, Hill, Haralson, Thiam, who says no?

 

[GoneViral]

3 top 100 portal players is a great start.

Yup, I'd feel good about one more and amazing about two more.

 

[Volpatine]

Or sooner…

Don’t put too much stock into this but I find it interesting that he’s in 23…

 

[barney]

So I guess this means we’ve moved on from dowd? Rubin is a good pick up!

I want the Lion of Dakar Mustafa Thiam!!!!

 

[CornbreadVol]

Don’t put too much stock into this but I find it interesting that he’s in 23…

Elaborate?

 

[CornbreadVol]

Elaborate?

Oh because of Carey?

 

[Volpatine]

Oh because of Carey?

Yea idk if it’s anything to do with him but I thought that was interesting. Probably nothing.

 

[Legion of Doom]

Tanner, Hill, Haralson, Thiam, who says no?

Dream scenario and get Carey back.

 

[vol9799]

Tanner, Hill, Haralson, Thiam, who says no?

After solemn consideration, I will allow this to be so.
