Mike Matthews to portal? [He’s staying]

[EJVOL4LIFE]

This is what I have seen also. It could be tonight at midnight or 6 pm or whatever, have no idea what the deadline is. It may be 48 hours after he announced his intent, so maybe we already passed the deadline.

For sure, we will know no later than tomorrow am.

I was told that it's only counted in business days. Is that right? If so he wouldn't have to technically be in the portal until tomorrow night if that's correct.

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

I heard somewhere that it's 48 business hours is what the university has, he didn't put in for it until 1030 pm on Friday so we would have to know something by 1030 pm tomorrow if that's accurate

That's what I was thinking as well. Was told the same thing.

Nico will be in another uniform for the 2025 season.

True, we do get them new uniforms prior to the new season starting

Nico will be in another uniform for the 2025 season.

Hahahaha sure troll

Nico will be in another uniform for the 2025 season.

I don't think so, but if so, it won't be because of the coaches; it's will be because of the minority of toxic, vocal fans that are demanding too much.

 

[UTwild82]

So when will we actually know if he's entered the portal?

It would be for money most likely. Players in general probably appreciate fan support but could care less what they think or say.

 

[EJVOL4LIFE]

So when will we actually know if he's entered the portal?

I'm assuming if he is entering it will be announced sometime in the morning. Not an insider, but imo I'd say tomorrow morning.

Georgia is sitting at 0 incoming and 8 outgoing on On3 and ranked worse than us on their scale. Is this the end for Kirby as well?

Kirby recruits much better than TN, so he can afford the transfers. the last 5 years per Rivals Georgia has been ranked 2024- 1st, 2023- 2nd, 2022 -3rd, 2021- 5th and 2020- 1st. Tennessee has been ranked 2024 -14th, 2023- 12th, 2022- 12th, 2021- 35th, and 2020 -8th. Currently TN is ranked 11th overall and 8th in the SEC for 2025. So this transfer issue hits TN much harder than Georgia, and Heupel seems unable to haul in a Top 10 or Top 5 recruiting class. So yes the question remains

Take it with a grain of salt, as I don't know the validity, but sure would be nice.

Shocking!! Piss off a bunch of lawyers with misinformation that hurts the program. Definition of FAFO.

Makes sense

This is an idiotic post. Lay the blame on the fans to take the pressure off underperforming coaches.

Except Heupel didn’t “under perform” this season.

That’s just a stupid narrative the doom & gloom crowd made up.

I didn't say Heupel. I was talking about Ellerbee and Pope.

Unfortunately no news is bad news imo. Since he already said he was leaving.

Not necessarily. And since the Brian Staley, Braylons dad , post about keeping it to myself, I'm optimistic that might be what he is referring. That's just my opinion but I believe if he were going to enter the portal it would have already been announced. But stranger things have happened. Hopefully we will hear something by tonight or tomorrow morning.

 

[C-south]

That's purely your opinion. It's a fact that the current atmosphere in college football is that it's moneyball.

If you’ve ever saw the movie Moneyball that’s the exact opposite of what’s happening.

Exactly...this is more like MLB pre luxury tax! Spend how much you want with no holds bar NIL contracts.
