If there is one thing Tennessee does, it is taking nice things away from Missouri

LFG! Tony is on a mission.

Two catchers out of the portal. I think one hits left and the other hits right. Wow.

I think Peebles is a switch hitter.

Man, it’s been a good day. Get Luke Holman and this team is loaded for bear.

 

[VolPack22]

Bargo is a utility guy. Could see him playing all over the field next season.

The acquisitions of Bargo and Peebles has upgraded the catcher position for 2024 and beyond.

Peebles is a switch hitter.

Fun tidbit: Bargo is from Omaha. It would be neat if he made a trip back to his hometown for a College World Series.

Would be even better if he is holding a trophy there

I'm going to assume somebody is leaving that's four catchers on the roster now,unless well nevermind!!!!!

 

[preacherman20]

That's 6 from last year and coming in.

Christmas in July! ️

 

[Walkman]

A true freshman hitting .279, in this league is pretty dang solid. He could be a .320 plus hitter next season, plus a utility player—-great pick up!!!!

 

[Zues1]

Boom. Tony straight up killing the portal.

 

[SmokeVol]

What I take from this is someone is leaving. I could see Taylor and stark both transfer or atleast one of them.

This Bargo kid is versatile. Can also play 1B/3B/LF/RF. I think they’re gonna be good in the OF but this guy could be the backup at 1B/3B and probably C too is Stone Lawless needs a year (frankly, Lawless might beat him out at C though)

Don’t think Taylor ever leaves. Stark is the one I’d keep an eye on.

Great pickup for sure. But who was expecting this one? While we all wait and see what Holman is going to do, Vitello springs this out of the blue. How many transfers does the Vols take in this one class?

To my untrained eye, it appears he's the backup plan for Galanie....which I consider as good as gone unless MLB tries to lowball him.

I think it’s safe to say he gonna make at least 1 trip back if he stays at UT for next 3 years.

With the way college sports is now, I believe you have to keep 5-6 spots open every class for portal guys while you bring in 15-20 high school kids. All the portal has done to recruiting is making coaches be more selective when it comes to high school kids. If your a team like Tennessee and believe you are just a couple pieces away from winning it all, then you hit portal hard. But if you’re a team that needs to be totally revamped then you go the high school route and develop. Every program is different in what the needs are for that particular year.
