2024 Transfer Portal Thread

So we may possibly maybe get Lanier. Maybe. Cool. What about the other 2-3 spots? Dumb to intentionally limit your depth.

Barnes has said on his visits through Tennessee and in the Tri Cities recently that we will be after good young talent - incoming freshmen. Instead of all players being from the portal. Everyone in here I'm sure knows that already but I wanted to reiterate that... Not all scholarship spots are being taken from Portal guys... Barnes loves to take on & develop young guys, it's important to have that balance and I love his approach. Plus we will haul a good freshman class of 2025 I think...

He’s at Calhoun’s with Gruden and Peyton

My sources say Chaz took BYU’s NIL money and bought land in East Tennessee. TIFWIW.

Your sources can go jump in Lake Lanier.

Cool. I need to find his number. He is down to earth and I enjoyed hanging out with him on the court when my son played. I think I last saw him in Nashville when TN beat State at the SEC tourney. It’s been a minute though, about 10 -12 yrs

He has his personal Facebook page, that's where I'm connected at with him. He's active on there & still very much involved with basketball. I think it's cool he's well connected with Chaz Lanier & his family.

Rumor out there that BYU is trying to sweeten the NIL offer by including the possibility of having multiple wives to help get a better break on his taxes and keep most of his NIL check. TIFWIF

 

[TechnoVol]

lol, this is almost exactly what SF posted over the weekend. And people wonder why we say Basilio’s “source” is VN.

They both could be talking to the same person.

Fools gold. One is tough enough. Don't be stupid, Chaz!

UK laying the foundation to claim they never wanted Chaz?

Hilarious and predictable behavior.

Hilarious and predictable behavior.

Certainly not a good look for an article about a possible commit. Seems like things will be trending out way if the visits go as expected.

I can't read the article. Who's the article quoting there? A coach from KY?

So, they reached the “didn’t want him anyway” phase? That was quick.

I've said he's the best coach we've ever had. Doesn't mean we can't have an honest conversation that there really isn't a backup plan if we miss on Chaz. I still want the kid, but based on what has been reported, he lied to our staff about how he would handle this. Now, if he picks elsewhere, we scramble for someone else to take that spot. Will we get someone? Probably. Will they be of the same quality? Probably not. Again, we wanted Yuri Collins. We got Tyreke Key. I saw Key as settling, not really a backup plan. But hell, this could all be for naught. Chaz could still pick us. And if he doesn't, it's far more of an indictment on his character than it is our staff's. They took a kid at his word. Unfortunately, a lot of staffs get screwed that way.

Key was from TN and averaging like 16 points per game before being injured. I’m not even sure he was a backup plan. Awaka and Phillips committed in May after Key in April, so we had room. There might have been several options, but Key was being discussed that spring as a possible transfer.

Drew Franklin with KSR is saying Lanier and Pope are at Jeff Ruby’s eating dinner right now. Need Lanier to get on the plane and come home, can’t let them hold him hostage.

 

[volsarelife1]

No matter where Lanier goes, he gets major props from me for how he has handled this recruitment. He's been extremely professional with all of this

[CNeagleVolFan]

So is he really coming tonight, or was that just a made up rumor? Lol

So he’s not actually in town tonight? I mean it’s 9:20. I highly doubt he’s flying private.

 

[Tall_Vol]

I think it’s a great sign his visit is playing out this way.

Other than a commitment, the best news I could hear is that Mamma Lanier has travelled from Nashville to Knoxville today. UT couldn't pay, which would make it even better news.

This should also help. LOL

BYU Code of Ethics

The cornerstone of the university’s personnel conduct standards is the Church Educational System Honor Code, which states in part

By accepting appointment, continuing in employment, being admitted, or continuing class enrollment, each member of the BYU community personally commits to observe these Honor Code standards approved by the Board of Trustees “at all times and in all things, and in all places” (Mosiah 18:9):

• Be honest.
• Live a chaste and virtuous life, including abstaining from any sexual relations outside a marriage between a man and a woman.
• Respect others, including the avoidance of profane and vulgar language.
• Obey the law and follow campus policies.
• Abstain from alcoholic beverages, tobacco, tea, coffee, vaping, and substance abuse.
• Participate regularly in Church services (required only of Church members).
• Observe Brigham Young University’s Dress and Grooming Standards.

The following paragraphs highlight some critical expectations of all BYU employees and are intended to provide a framework through which employees can more fully understand their responsibilities and commitment to the university.

For an OV I think they can
