2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

Very possible. I like Brown a lot. Just is small

Brown has high shoulders and a long wingspan. He didn’t look or play small when he was on the floor.

 

[volsack7]

Brown is going to play a good amount of minutes this year.

Correct me if I’m wrong @bleedingTNorange, but don’t we have one more spot?

They are full, in theory they could move 1 “walk-on” to a manager role and free up a spot but I don’t see that as likely (not impossible), at this point.

"We need another Big" and we get one, but despite everyone knowing they'd be a depth piece still folks want to complain. It's wild.

You can't pay Hill, Lundblade, Haralson, Juke, Dai Dai, Rubin and then think you will also be able to pay a big...

His 2 seasons where he got real playing time he put up 4.9ppg, 3.6rpg, & 1.4 bpg in 20.5mpg that's exactly what they were looking for in their 5th frontcourt player. He's got a huge wingspan too, hopefully adds some great size this summer/fall and is ready to contribute in his 8-10 minutes off the bench.

Yea, I love what they’ve done, very clear 9 man rotation you’d think and then 4 freshman to compete their tails off and see if any can crack that rotation. If you sustain an injury you should have a freshman who can be adequate to fill that 9th spot also.

Hill
Lundblade/Ames
Harris
Haralson/Lue
Brown/Rubin/Fermin


Obviously Brown can play some 4, Haralson can move around, etc., but that’s kind of just the general outlook. We can go small or big, lots of options, offensive lineups and defensive lineup possibilities.

Personally I think he has the shoulders of a 6’9” man and plays that way as well.

I like how you’ve left yourself another out.

Exactly! We needed a depth big and we got one who actually has P4 experience, can rebound and protect the rim, and won't require heavy minutes - end of story.

Might be my favorite part of the roster...

Ya have guys that can play at least 2 spots

Hill can play 1-3
Ames can play 1-2
Lundblade can play 2-3
Juke can play 2-3 (potentially 1 in a real pinch)
Haralson can play 3-4
Lue can play 3-5
Brown, Rubin & Fermin can really all play 4-5 with their length and athletisim

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I like how you’ve left yourself another out.

15 scholarship spots + 1 for a DSA is 16 total

8 portal additions
4 HS players signed
2 returning players
2 former walk-ons

1 walk on as a DSA and 1 walk on scholarship right now

 

[walkenvol]

For the 10 seconds I met Terrence Hill Jr….seems like a pretty chill guy.

Hopefully it wasn’t a puff, puff, pass meeting!

 

[TrippieRedd]

Hopefully it wasn’t a puff, puff, pass meeting!

On the days I have off from dog training, I do Amazon Flex because I hate sitting at home and I just happened to have a package for him.


I know the photo looks like ****, but I wanted to hide his personal ****.

Agree. High and broad. If he had any sort of neck and a bigger head he would be 6’11 but his shoulders are higher than others listed as the same height. Great feet and feel for the game.

I expect Brown to have a great offseason which will translate into a very significant role on next year's team

We can’t be stopped

While I don’t see Harris playing the 1 in a pinch, Haralson certainly can. He’s described as a Point Forward.

I could see Harris playing the 1 some in the same sense the Knecht did, not really to facilitate for others, but to get the ball at the top and take his man off the bounce, putting shooters on the wings to give him room to operate.

I like the flexibility of going big Brown at 4 with Haralson at 3 especially against teams like Florida. Lue I have no idea what we'll get from him so if he's productive that will be big bonus

 

[IUGradVol]

What an offseason!

Don’t forget bout Henderson , he be ready by December think . Look for him help some

 

[cardvolfan]

Saving it for TT.

 

[Unconditional Surrender]

Not sure how we can expect a championship with a short-neck big man.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Saving it for TT.

Wrong. For Nate Ament.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Not sure how we can expect a championship with a short-neck big man.

The theory being that he won’t be asked to block or make shots with his head.
