2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

[VolFuture]

I’ll take team D.

I think it’s the most balanced team

 

[alexvol]

We’ve missed out on the big targets that should could have paid big Nil money to, don’t just spend for the sake of spending. Use that money to get the top recruits in the 2025 class.

Missing on recruits is due to NIL .....no one knows that for sure as reason......COP OUT imo ......

 

[Amb3096]

Team C for me since it has Kiki and the other top player I wanted in Leila Phelia.

Ditto. Looks like the winner.

 

[Coach Jumper]

you

@brittannica @chuckiepoo @Rooster1 @Coach Jumper @VolBall09 @dazzleme

i need some opinions

You've got a coach and 5 players
well done

 

[dazzleme]

Were they merching up at those visits, too?

I just IG stalked. Looks like they only merched up at UT. Hoping that is a good sign. Would love to have Ruby!

 

[creekdipper]

Should be a clause families have to sign that they have to return all gear if the athletes don't ink.

No sig; no rig.

 

[creekdipper]

Or the athletic department could issue Mission Impossible gear...self-destructs in 24 hours if no signed commitment.

 

[Knoxvol14]

Well she basically says the same several visits she took. She visited at least us, Miami, FSU and Baylor. There's not much you can take from this since she posted a video from each visit.

hmmmmm verrrrrry interesting. Yeah, loaded up on the Vols gear. Not sure why they would do that if she was planning on going somewhere else, but the "#uncommitted" got me unsure.

EDIT: Maybe holding out for somewhere else she'd rather be? Not 100% sold?

Some good info here..."Visits day in and day out."

On the importance of being able to meet fans and sell her vision for the program

"I think it's incredibly important. We're doing visits day in and day out. But it's important to kind of step away because, without the fans, there really is no Tennessee. And they're a big part of our sell. And the fan base and the brand and all of that, and playing in front of a packed arena is something that we tell every player we talk to, so without them, there is no us."

I’m going Team C, which seems to be the popular opinion, but I do like Team B a lot. I think Deja could be great and benefit from a change of scenery.

I’m going with Team B or Team E.

Both have really good balance across the board, E gets the edge on the perimeter and with passing. B is definitely a load inside with Beers and Gardiner

 

[AngryButchJones]

To folks worrying about lack of commitments from transfers still: Jewel Spear didn't announce last year till early May. Jillian Hollingshead didn't announce till late April/early May.

There's plenty of time to pick up transfers. UT isn't the only one still looking around either. Tons of teams have 2+ openings still, like us.

 

[VolBall09]

I’m wondering if they all thought Kim would bring them with? She obviously knows how big this job is and that it wasn’t going to be Marshall 2.0.

I love this. I really really want her to reinvigorate the fanbase. I’d love to compete with South Carolina for the attendance title again! It’s nothing like seeing a sea of orange on TV!

 

[creekdipper]

I thought the Hayes family said would freeze over before any other daughter would come to Tennessee.

1,000% agree!

Looks like they were right. CKC said thanks, but no thanks.

The C’s are winning big and I see why it was my og Vote

We have a few for B and a little C and E representation

No votes for A

SUCH a slow news day. Keep voting lol or make your own starting 5. These are the “top 25” in the portal 5 per position

That feeling would be mutual in my book of notes.

I noted that same statement! Did you take that to mean portal kids visiting daily? Don’t they have classes to go to?

I would guess virtual visits.

 

[Knoxvol14]

Missing on recruits is due to NIL .....no one knows that for sure as reason......COP OUT imo ......

Some actually do know

I know some students select certain degree programs because they are exclusively online. That would free up the visit schedule.
