Transfer Portal Thread

[Yeiser10]

Well, if Kessler is off the board I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I need some positive recruiting news here soon. Doesn't even have to be a commitment, just some nuggets from VQ about where things are headed.

Need N’Fanly Dante to hit the portal

 

[AngryButchJones]

Looks like Garrison Brooks is going to Mississippi State

 

[TheMookieMonster]

NOOOOOO. Go back to UNC!

 

[volfaninpa]

NOOOOOO. Go back to UNC!

Crap.

Cooper, Smith, and Kessler. We had better hope that the NCAA actually does something to Auburn.

 

[BisonVol]

NOOOOOO. Go back to UNC!

Crap

Crap.

Cooper is going to NBA right

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Crap.

Cooper is going to the NBA. Regardless, this hurts. The SEC is becoming a basketball monster. Really hope we can find another experienced transfer big out there.

 

[JRVOL11]

Lmao. Do not understand why kids are going there, Bruce and Co. are about to get hit hard by the NCAA. Smh...

 

[wtmvol]

NOOOOOO. Go back to UNC!

That’s a killer. Now we have huge competition from UNC for Aidoo, plus Auburn just got a lot better.

 

[AngryButchJones]

Of ALL the places, he had to pick Auburn.

I hate this lol

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Hurts bad. Options are dwindling a bit. Gardner committed to Virginia, too. Even though we had been said to no longer been interested.

Aidoo and BHH would be great, but neither are sure things and they both would be freshmen. We really need an experienced big. And I’m hoping Barnes can find one.

Nah. Not unless they're dumb idiots like TENNESSEE and self report

 

[AngryButchJones]

Gotta keep in mind, more players can and will go in the portal still, too. Maybe N'Faly Dante will, maybe Key will, and maybe others will.

Also, if Fulkerson returns, that does ease the need for a big impact forward/center for this season. Still would like to have another post this season, but if Fulky returns, maybe Aidoo could be that and Fulky could be the veteran. Uros or Nkamhoua could take a step forward too.

Point is, I'm not panicking yet.

 

[Vol49er]

I really wanted him too, but it could have been worse. He could have went to Auburn

Sigh

 

[Willy14]

NOOOOOO. Go back to UNC!

Well....... this is less than ideal

 

[Dallasbowlin]

:/

 

[Jravol78]

Damn

 

[CornbreadVol]

Fml

 

[VolFreakJosh]

They weren’t the ones that lied.

My fault, I hadn't heard about Cooper.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I’m going to keep telling myself that we are holding out for Dante. If that doesn’t happen then they will ride with Fulky, BHH, possibly Aidoo, ORN, and Plav. If that’s the case, I really hope we go after Adam Miller from Illinois for the final spot, kid is a baller.

 

[Volitaire]

I’ve said from the beginning Kessler wants to shoot the three rather than stay in the paint and Pearl is going to give him every opportunity. He wasn’t going to fit UNC or a Tennessee’s offense, we need rebounders and some offense in the paint!

 

[VolGee4]

Lmao. Do not understand why kids are going there, Bruce and Co. are about to get hit hard by the NCAA. Smh...

I am not sure I understand from a development perspective. Smith and Cardwell are there. Maybe he was looking for more three point shots after all because Bruce will let him just fire away. He still only had single digit minutes logged in many games at UNC. Also, he and Justin Powell have been friends, and Powell left.

 

[cardvolfan]

How Wade and Pearl continue to get great players is beyond me. Honestly, I had very little doubt Kessler was not coming to Knoxville. He toyed with us in his initial recruitment, but still baffles me how players choose their schools.

 

[TennaciousD957]

Bruce will be fired before the completion of next season.
