Jaylen Carey to Portal

[iVolSoHard]

Hopefully, all of these transfers mean that we're going all in for Big Jim

Who is big Jim?

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

This kinda make me think Nate could be staying

Nate will be back. He thinking to hard on this decision

 

[OrangeInKy]

Who is big Jim?

Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Loves working the boards.

 

[OrangeInKy]

Who is big Jim?

Haslam, my man. Jim Haslam Sr.

 

[Kosmalski]

Hopefully, Barnes will find an 8-footer like the guy Michigan has. He doesn’t even have to jump lol

The 7'3"" guy is a basketball player whojust happens to be 7'3" . Uconn had 3 guys fouling him yet still couldnt take the ball from hom

What a difference a week makes

I don't know that this is Carey's choice. Judging by his comments the last week, it wasn't.

 

[Oldvoldad]

I feel like Barnes is about to bring in some dudes and that’s why these cats are all jumping ship. They would succeed and get exposure here just as much as anywhere that they could transfer too, if not more.

Man, I hope you are right!

 

[vavolfan6]

I assume a coaching decision, since Carey said he would be back if the coaches wanted him here.

Or he didn't feel the NIL offer reflected him being wanted as much as he was hoping.

Pro sports > college sports.

Idk. NBA is unwatchable

Yeah, I think so as well, but then things just changed in a different way

They’re leaving cause their reps are telling them the money is big out there. Some will get more. Some will get screwed

Estrella supposed to have a $3 mil deal with Indiana. Philips was told he’d make a lot more leaving.

 

[rocketskates]

Man, I hope you are right!

I’m probably not, but hey, every offseason Barnes finds talent in the portal. I ain’t worried. None of these guys are irreplaceable.

 

[TrumpedUpVol]

Feeling more and more like Zeigler and Mashack will be the last four-year Vols that contributed meaningfully for quite some time. It's the nature of the sport and happens to every team, and how we wound up with Carey in the first place, but that doesn't make it any better when it comes to supporting a new cast of characters each season.

Idk. NBA is unwatchable

At least in the NBA, you’re pretty sure of the core that will be playing for your team next season. Not so sure about college basketball anymore.

 

[vols 30]

Idk. NBA is unwatchable

Playoffs are usually pretty good

Til they call walks again is unwatchable to me.

To each their own

 

[BreatheUT]

I can't get on board with what's going on. This is not what college sports suppose to be. I get almost everyone is doing it.

 

[BreatheUT]

Idk. NBA is unwatchable

It's a glorified game of 21.

Barnes might be getting cut throat. He may realize that the roster is more important than coaching. Michigan were men against us.

Got to have the Jimmies and the Joes

Got to have the Jimmies and the Joes

The Donde’s and Danny’s need to allow the Jimmies to pay the Joes. Joes won’t play without pay.

Agreed. Now allow a one time transfer with playing eligibility.
Next transfer you sit a year and earn a portion of your " salary"

That sounds illegal unless you can get a transfer to sign a non-compete agreement, which sounds very costly.
