2025 Transfer Portal Thread

Feels like there’s some nuance between “play the 4” and “be the second tallest guy on the floor in some rotations”. Dubar was often the second tallest guy in the floor, he wasn’t calling for the ball in the low post.
 
Cade Phillips to the portal
In no way does Vol fans want Cade Phillips in the portal. He's been unfortunate to have injuries pretty much every year since he was a top 50 recruit in high school. He couldn't play in the summer circuits & dropped out of the top 100. His improvements this past year playing through injuries was incredible & a life saver for our VOLS. he's in the rotation no matter who the Vols land in the portal. NO MATTER WHO WE GET LOL. And Cade fits into the Vol Hoops culture perfectly & is a great person & teammate. I'd personally be disappointed if he left as you suggest...but your profile does say "probably overreacting" ... so I'm guessing you're in no way serious

Don't want to lose Cade. He is fun to watch.
 
I’d put him at the 4 and start Freeman next to him.

Carey starting just screams mehhhhh to me. I like his energy coming off the bench.

Freeman rebounded really well and his body looks more developed. I don’t see why he wouldn’t play the 4 on defense and we play 4 wide on offense like we did with JJJ
 
I mentioned freeman at the 4, and BTO ate my ass

The best basketball team in the world right now plays Tatum at the 4. Same height as Freeman. Shorter than Ament. Yes, he is jacked, but he also plays at a higher level.

The best basketball lineup maybe ever based on analytics played Durant as the 4. He is tall, but not strong.

With Okpara as a really good help defender in the paint, I don’t see why we couldn’t get away with either Freeman or Ament at the 4 on defense. We’ll have the the bench to adjust as needed .

Brother, I’m with you.

I’ve always mentioned Freebird at the 4 till BTO dropped a frog-splash Eddie Guerrero style on my ass.

I’ve always thought Ament at 3 and Freeman at the 4 would be the way to go.

TR, I think that once per hour that we don't get a commitment, I'm gonna need a new graphic description from you on how BTO shut you down regarding Freeman at the 4
