OK, so is it more or less than $5mill?

Top 5 Portal Classes post Juke.

Kentucky nightmare - your top 3 rivals all in the top 4 lmao

 

[hUTch2002]

Today is the day I think.

I agree

 

[vol9799]

Looking forward to passing out losses to all our rivals like a Shriner passes out candy!

No mercy! Hang a 100 on UK, Bama, Vandy & UF every time we see them.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I would say he achieved his goal.

 

[Franklin_Vol09]

Louisville boosters see that UK is down. They want to bury them now

 

[i2amavol]

Okay, I've moved on. When do we get our next post player?

I'm thinking later today. First, we get dascoop. Then, we see the announcement.

We have a higher average and more commits but somehow behind Louisville lol

 

[hUTch2002]

Well Ament was a bit more passive offensively than I think anyone realized. But he also wasn't getting near the calls he should have, which is part of why his shooting %s were down IMO. It's hard to make pull ups at the elbow when the guy guarding you is allowed to slap arms and be inside your cylinder.

My cylinder is off limits.

College players are getting $5mill/yr now? Wow

Dybantsa (understandably) got $7 million last year.

Fact check: AJ Dybantsa was paid $7 million-plus at BYU

The projected top pick in the 2026 NBA Draft got a bag.

[hUTch2002]

TBH, I think we have a good enough team now that could probably get to the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs

Certainly if we played the Hawks. That beatdown on their home floor was epic.

I can’t think of any other coach in the country that deserves one more Final Four than Coach Barnes.

He’s ran this program the right way with barely any negative drama surrounding it. He’s put a lot of effort into this years portal haul with a very good chance of making a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.

Please, let this be the year it happens.

The grammar issues confirm that this is authentic

 

[hUTch2002]

We have officially signed every portal target this cycle. Literally everyone we actually pursued we got.

Any others on the radar or did we get all our targets?

 

[hUTch2002]

It’s been over an hour since our last commitment. I mean, I like what we’ve done so far; but it looks like we’re falling on our face to end the portal season, here.

Strong downward trend for sure. Very concerning. I guess Barnes is hanging it up soon.

Tennessee with 8 bordering states could play a 9-team conference round-robin schedule with nothing but jerks directly across our state line.

Being surrounded by all of the jerks in a circle...

Yes

Take 5 minutes from Lundblade, 5 from Haralson, and 10 each from brown and lue. Done!

Hill (30)/ Ames (10)
Lundblade (20)/ Ames (15)/ Harris (5)
Harris (25)/ Haralson (15)
Ament (30)/ Haralson (10)
Rubin (20)/ Lue (10)/ Brown (10)

Terrance Hill Jr (30)
Juke Harris (30)
Nate Ament (30)
Jalen Haralson (25)
Dai Dai Ames (25)
Tyler Lundblade (20)
Miles Rubin (20)
Braeden Lue (10)
Dewayne Brown (10)

That's not it either. (Ament (30), haha. I wish.)

I'm assuming Henderson is still recuperating.

Hill (30)/ Ames (5)/ Clark (5)
Lundblade (20)/ Ames (15)/ Green(5)
Harris (30)/ Scott(5)//Washington(5)
Brown (20)/Haralson(20)

Haralson is getting more than 20 min per game. Hes closer to 30

Most of what I heard was large targets. I’ve conversed very little with my guy on anyone outside of Juke and previous roster player retention.

 

[VolsNetClippers2025]

This is perfect - wonder how we fill the last one/two spots. Depth at the 5 and 1 makes sense...

Thoroughly impressed with how we navigated the transfer portal this offseason. Definitely the best overhaul we’ve done since the rollout of NIL.

Scroll up a bit, I had one with no Ament. I was responding to someone who asked if Ament came back, I know he is not. Regardless, don’t think Brown is more minutes than Rubin and 2.5 x as many as Lue. And Haralson will get more than 20

 

[Bigorangefan 98]

Haralson is getting more than 20 min per game. Hes closer to 30

No doubt there. He is a big key to this team

Now the fun of projecting...

This year we saw 4 players get 26 or more mpg, with Ja'Kobi being at 35

So 200mpg (5 x 40)

Hill - 28
Juke - 28
Haralson - 22
Rubin - 22
Lundblade - 24
Ames - 24
Brown - 20
Lue - 18

Leaves about 14 mpg to spread out among freshmen. I think Hill and Juke will play the most, think Ames and Lundblade will be next since each can play a few different spots...then a pretty even distribution among the 4 bigs depending on matchups/hot hands etc.
