2024 Transfer Portal Thread

[Stoerner Fumbles]

I can only speculate they wanted to wait for any of our current players to announce portal exits first. So when names leak it could mean we're done with exits? (again just me speculating)

Seems plausible. I don’t know. I definitely think they’re controlling damage, but I can’t see them missing the O&W game atmosphere to get some momentum for the future.

Domino 1

Would be a really good start to the portal commits. 40 percent three point shooter and 54 percent overall. About 7 rebounds a game.

 

[Stoked]

A 6'8" 200lbs wing player who can score at all 3 levels... would be a huge domino!

I mean obviously it's not a direct translation being Hofstra and the CAA isn't the same as playing here in the SEC, but I think it's promising that his Defensive Rating the last 2 seasons has been around 100.

This 24 point 8 rebound game vs Duke might ease some people's worries!

Let’s go!!!

 

[whodeycin85]

Check out his numbers against P5, definitely gives reason to be more optimistic about what he can do here…

Junior:
Purdue 25mins 14pts 3rbds 5-9FG 2-4 3pt
South Florida 31mins 17pts 4rbds 5-7FG 3-4 3pt
Rutgers 35mins 17pts 5rbds 7-14 FG 3-5 3pt
Cincinnati 29mins 16pts 7rbds 5-9 FG 3-5 3pt

Senior:
South Florida 36mins 24pts 11rbds 9-16FG 4-9 3pt
Duke 37mins 24pts 8rbds 8-13 FG 7-11 3pt
UNLV 31mins 17pts 4rbds 7-10FG 3-5 3pt
St. John’s 40mins 23pts 5rbds 10-17FG 2-6 3pt


Overall:
33mpg 19ppg 5.9rpg 58.9%FG (56-95) 63%2ptFG (29-46) 55.1%3ptFG (27-49)

How do you feel about Cade Tyson? He hasn't had much success against P5. But shoots lights out otherwise. Think it will translate

Nope, especially with LSU coming to town to play the baseVOLs as well. It'll be a big recruiting weekend for Barnes. Curious to see how many we have total show up.

 

[ThatVolGuy]

I can say with 100% certainty that I never thought the Vols could have someone named Darlinstone Dubar on the team. Make it so, Rick!

Is he mostly a spot up 3pt shooter or does he do other things well also? That's pretty much all I saw in this particular game highlight. I see he also had 8 rebounds so that's good. Is he a better shooting JJJ that's not afraid to pull the trigger?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Dubar and Lanier would be two huge gets. If you land both of them, I don’t see Tyson also coming here, which means for the last two spots you are probably going to see developmental guys with multiple years rather than instant impact players.

65% on 7 2ptA per game

I think there’s room for all 3, also a Saint Thomas, but yea, it gets harder with each get.

This is a shorter highlight, but shows more of his game off. Duke just left him wide open from deep a ton.

He’s played against 1 HM so I’m not gonna judge off that sample size, but I think folks expect his game to translate.

 

[csheaton]

Are Dubar and Lanier decent on defense? Anyone know?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Was going through On3 rankings.

Who the hell is the kid from Campbell? Knecht 2.0?

Bearenstein Babar, as Kesling will call him.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I wouldn’t rule it out, but assuming we don’t see any other portal departures, if you land Dubar/Lanier you have a rotation (in no particular order) that would likely be:

ZZ
Maschack
Gainey
Aidoo
Estrella
Carr
Dubar
Lanier

That’s 8 guys. Obviously, you’d like to be 9-10 deep, but that’s why I think it will be a developmental guy. Tyson and Thomas are probably going to expect major minutes wherever they go.

 

[TrippieRedd]

 

[JRVOL11]

Like Dubar game, can score in a variety of ways. How many years will he have left? I remember he went to Iowa state his freshman year.

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Dubar is considered an above average/good defender, Lanier would be considered a below average defender.

 

[VolArmy74]

Lock down as many as possible before Arkansas and Cal are started. I read they have 0 players on the roster now. He's gonna have to portal hard even if every UK commit switched to him.

Fwiw it’s also 5 spots open currently, so taking those 2 means still room for 3 more, not 2.

I don’t think you want a hard 8, and then question marks…that would give you 8, Boswell, Phillips, and then 3 developmental guys? That leaves very little room for injury, or a miss on a portal guy that I don’t think you want to take. IMO you’re at minimum taking 3 portal guys you expect to be major players, and ideally 4.
