2025 Transfer Portal Thread

I am gonna say this and then log off for a while to get some actual work done lol.

But I am pumped to see us apparently prioritizing Freeman by going to visit him on the day the dead period ended.

I think he is a future star. Everyone I talk to, everything I've seen. He is LEGIT.

On paper he is the prototype "want" I had after reflecting on this season.

6'8" wing with length that can rebound and score at 3 levels.

Ament probably can/will fit that mold too... but the HS kid demanding 3m or more might be the higher risk option. Not saying they're the same player, but if we can get the same production and Freeman is around 1.5m instead?

Rick Barnes is currently eating breakfast with Freeman at a Cracker Barrel

Which Cracker Barrel?

 

[TrapVol]

Barnes was probably having Freeman play the peg game to make sure he’s not an ignoramoose. If he’s purty smart or higher, he’s a take.

 

[CAVPUT]

Wtaf lol

AI

 

[McGeesPub]

Whoever said to give Nico’s money to basketball…hopefully Rick will at least get some of it.

 

[TrapVol]

Rice signs early next week after his weekend visit. Freeman visits and signs late next week. Ament signs in the next two weeks after the Tennessee money brokers gather up the money. Book it!
By the way, don't be surprised if Evans de-commits. Michigan State is pushing hard. If that happens, we need another guard.

If Izzo really wants Evans, that makes me feel good about his game for sure.

 

[VolterWhite]

Which Cracker Barrel?

Middlesboro

Remember when we thought Coach Barnes might be retiring this season... my guy is in a Cracker Barrel in the middle of nowhere on a Friday morning in April recruiting guys lol.... It still blows my mind. He loves coaching too much to hang it up!!

You also would get 3, potentially 4 years from him, unless he blows up and is NBA bound which also would obviously be a good thing as it means he was really good

Energy and motivation are definitely not an issue

Coach Barnes is just extraordinary. He owns a beach house here where I live. There's no reason he couldn't be living the beach bum life full time at this point, but we are so fortunate that he still loves to coach and mentor young men.

Isn't Evans signed? So he'd need to hit the portal, no? Or am I mistaken?

When the Cracker Barrel deal fell through we moved on to Bob Evans.

I’ve heard Bob Evans hasn’t performed well as of late. We could probably get him for cheap and save some NIL.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Yes, he already signed with UT

 

[Rushin Orange Collusion]

Yall it’s actually true lol View attachment 734359

If they go Dutch, then we’re in trouble!

 

[Legion of Doom]

Boswell.

Yes I think staff is big on Boswell.

Evans is signed and solid. If they are pushing they are tampering on kid not in portal. He is all Vol.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Yeah probably did hit up Middlesboro, hell shoulda taken 'em over to ghetto Chinese (I have no clue what the actual name was, there was an old hole in the wall Chinese place in a rough area we always went to that never missed).

The big name spot used to be J Milton's Steak & Buffet...but it was overrated as hell. But Harrogate used to just be Hardee's and Godfather Pizza lol

I used to live in Harrogate... absolutely no good restaurants in a 30 mile radius. All I did is run and play ball. Boring as hell but I was in damn good shape lol

I would love to hear why...I don't think he'd start at D2 level

Now, talk about some real-life garbage.

Agreed. I never saw anything aggressive offensively from him. On defense I remember him being lost on the floor or getting faked out. He has a lot to work on this Spring/Summer to really bring his game up. Wishing the young man the best.
