2026 Vols Transfer Portal Thread

“Cool Hand Juke”
You’re welcome.

I'd rather have "Hot Hand Juke"

Man it is going to be showtime. Team will be one of the best offenses in the country. I shudder to think about ticket prices. Thankful for the ole Samsung.

The force is strong with Juke Skywalker

Goodness. Pervis Ellison have a son from Nigeria?

I like this one. One of my faves from
the past used briefly by the SECN crew was “Air France” (Yves Pons). Maybe they got some trademark pushback because it didn’t stick around for long.

It was never rocky. Maybe rocky for the people that have zero patience, but hell Barnes locked up one of the best shooters before the portal even opened. He had to cut the entire roster loose at the beginning, but it was clear he had a plan and executed it to near perfection!

Didn’t “had to cut the entire roster loose”. Decided several of them were asking for more NIL$ than the staff thought they were worth and chose not to pay that amount. Obviously, some other programs didn’t agree with the staff’s valuations and these guys are now on other teams. Only time will tell who made the better decision.

I think it is pretty clear he upgraded. Not really a debate. It doesn't take long to see that. I ws excited to see Evan but he made it a lot easier to wave goodbye in that interview. I will miss Cade. And of course I will miss Jakobi and Okpara but they were gone regardless.

I beg to differ sir as it’s the opposite of pretty clear and certainly debatable whether the new post guys are an upgrade over the guys who transferred to other P5 schools.

We went from a rocky start at the beginning of the portal season, to having one of the best teams in the nation. I love it

“a rocky start”

 

[Braemar_Vol]

As I said last week regarding Juke, it’s days not weeks. I thought it would be by Thursday of last week, but there are some details around NIL that mirror the complexity of the deal they did with Haralson—but obviously bigger. I assume it’ll all be done and announced today/tomorrow. This one has smoldered long enough that some enthusiasm may have faded. That isn’t the case for me. Juke has so many modern game talents— elite agility and body control, ability to score at three levels and force defenders to overcommit, a real guard handle, and the footwork to make him a great defender. All of that comes on a 6 7” frame. This one took time, but it is a classic Barnes win— almost five years of relationship building. This is a great class, and the complimentary pieces are the best I’ve seen here. I think we’ll get another big. This will be a fun year.

As always…Thank You for the info…

All this talk about Ames, Haralson, Harris, Hill, and we still have one of the best Three Point shooters in the Country in Lundblade whom is being overshadowed by those guys.

The options we’ll have when it comes to scoring is absolutely crazy.

Should be a fun year.

I hear what you are saying but I was sitting over here thinking about the fact that nobody has brought up Lundblade's defense yet. Anybody know anything about how good he is on defense?

This thread has become a parody of itself at this point. I love it.

He was billed as the “Dennis Rodman of the MVC.”

Watch it be Ibe lol

Da scoop did kinda do same thing last commit so certainly possible

It’s in the portal thread so it’s probably a portal commit but would still be funny if it wasn’t Juke again lol.

I heard he's a mix of Gary Payton and Sidney Moncrief

Remember how he defended Edey?

Good point. I had kind of assumed it was Ibe but hadn't considered he isn't a transfer.

Sidney Moncrief was my favorite NBA player ever. Started when he was at Arkansas. Always under appreciated except by his opponents.

Thanks for remembering him.
