Jalen Johnson enters transfer portal

[LampVol]

Best wishes to Jalen. He can do well in the right mid-major program.

 

[cncchris33]

Yup, very true.

This year, more than any other, may support the idea of adopting a "bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" approach. If you have a kid you would consider signing willing to commit and take a spot, it might not be a bad idea to lock him in without playing the recruiting game and waiting around on better options.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

He could fit in at ETSU or even Auburn with all of their departing seniors. He's too good for Auburn's circus IMO. I'd like to see him at ETSU.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Furman or Wofford along with ETSU would be great places for JJ to go.

 

[Vols All Day]

I don't think ETSU would take him.

 

[wmcovol]

He needs to go somewhere where he can play more. Probably don’t win @bama or Rupp w/o him.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

I don't think ETSU would take him.

I could see him possibly going to Georgia Tech and playing for Josh Pastner.

 

[Putbacks]

What is the family connection?

More recently was a grad assistant on Holly Warlick’s staff.....

 

[Special Ed]

Good luck to him, wouldn’t be surprised if Tennessee has someone in mind already, thinking EJ Anosike is pretty likely.

He'd be a nice addition.
I'll allow it.

 

[sport3500]

Congratulations to JJ on acquiring his degree and thanks for his contributions to the program.

Good luck to him.

 

[Jax_Vol]

Best of luck Jalen! I shall miss your man-bun.

Wish I could wear my hair that way...

 

[cobbwebb0710]

Subtract about 8 inches and I'm your guy.

And the whole rebounding thing...
GBO!!

 

[iKrager]

Damn. I always thought Jalen had a lot of potential but got in his own head too often. You could tell he wasn’t really comfortable until maybe mid-way through the season being on the court getting significant PT.

Sports is over for 2020..........

 

[vols 30]

Played his best down the stretch. Wouldn't have won At UK without him.

 

[Roustabout]

I know the staff has been in contact with him, and not many guys, so I take that to assume he’s a major target.

Barnes needs to be doing better than a player of that caliber.

Oh you mean like 2 Top 20’s and a Top 40? Try harder.

 

[cncchris33]

Face it. He's never going to be happy. Barnes could sign the top 4 players in the country 2021 and Roust would complain about not getting #5.

 

[Roustabout]

You think that makes up for the gaping hole in his post recruiting? No. This type of player has no business at UT.

Tell that to all the HM’s pursuing him then, guess Roustabout knows more.

Who’s recruiting him? If I’m wrong then I’m wrong.

Well it’s been said Louisville is in this thread

Also listed as the #6 available grad transfer by ESPN, well ahead of many other HM guys.
