2024 Transfer Portal

[brittannica]

Just saw a poster said we had 2.3 million that has to get someone elite.

I was told that last night as well.

That has to get you some elite players at least a couple.

So we got our numbers up. If the recruits take the call, they should definitely be interested,

Is there a maximum amount of upfront money that can be offered to high school recruits/portal recruits? There should be a required class about money management for all college students, but especially for athletes getting cash up front.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

We need to throw the NIL money at Vonleh and Iriafen those two make us a top ten team.

Give Kiki what she wants first and get Olsen next, and we can build from there.

No limit.

Any idea on what was there before?

no idea. i’d never heard any concrete numbers at all till that 2.3 mil estimate.

i dont think kiki would go from stanford to tennessee. thats a big drop off in education. i look for her to stay on the west coast, either UCLA OR USC. close to where she was with very good academics.

she’s apparently graduating this year with her engineering degree, so she can be a bit more flexible in her choice. West coast players do often like to stay on the west coast tho.

 

[Amb3096]

She’s a really nice player.

I think Purcell is gonna crash and burn there. He really had a nice roster this season and they imploded after a good start.

Carter should have been one of the best centers in the conference but she was very under utilized. Could have been her own issues getting in the way.

Could be that she things she got portalled over. With HVL (if she signs), Jordan, and now Russell onboard, her minutes were on the downside.

MSST also just got very short. Gony and Parker both entered the portal and Carter graduated, so they're down to 1 post player now (6'6 freshman)

Tennessee does not need Kiki anymore than Kiki might have interest in UT. I do not understand why people get stuck on certain players. A player with talent that wants to be in UT will have a chance to be one of the best in the country.
Look for players in the portal that want to be at UT. Tennessee has dominated the portal this is nothing new. With the addition of proven SEC recruiters and the most skilled young coach in WBB today this program has just solidified its place as one of two iconic programs in the country.

Shoot, top 5 with those 2! look don’t get me excited yall! I was happy on my doom and gloom train!

winters are gross! and they aren’t even that bad here

I am treating anything on social media or this board with a more than a little skepticism. Was that info from a credible source?

 

[House|RockyTop]

That NIL money ain’t the W. The W was hiring the best young talented coach in WBB and putting together a staff with coaches that are qualified and possess elite coaching characteristics. NIL was never the issue! See the #4 pick in last night WNBA draft for proof of UT NIL deals!

The poster that said it has always been quite credible. Seems fair to believe as had to believe DW was going to get behind this coach with everything he could do. The staff looks really great much better than I expected.

I’ll ask my dinner mate where they got that info and report back

Just looked at her stats a really impressive 1.26 scoring efficiency last season. I have to believe she may be a Lady Vol her coach is here.

Just double what they are paying and I think we have a shot.

 

[Volfan2012]

I'd give it a try don't know if they will. She definitely fits the system. I'll tell you Vonleh of Colorado is going to be huge for someone her best years are yet to come.

We just need a player like that to get other players to come.

Still a lot of players out there we'll see what happens. We definitely need post players.
