Portal Activity (News and Rumors)

From Ben McKee:

I think we'll hear on Amick tomorrow... but I also heard that Monday, so... we'll see. Continue to be confident Tennessee is in a strong position.
I mean, the last several pages of this thread have mentioned Amick committing to us soon.

And yet people.... "Where are these rumors coming from??"

To be fair, everyone knows he is committing “soon”. It’s the lack of clarity on what soon means that sours the question of where people are hearing stuff. We’ve heard for days that he’s going to do something “soon.”

Do you buy into this chatter of Burns possibly returning??
No idea. Haven’t heard a word about it. I know during the year once he got moved to the pen it was 100% chance he was gone then after the season there was a week they thought he was staying

I think if he returned I’d personally be surprised, but that’s not based on anything I’ve heard recently. He was a done deal to tcu before he even entered the portal so not sure what’s going on
 
It’s an interesting take if it does happen. We already have 4 catchers on the roster in Peebles, Taylor, Stark, and Miller. Not sure if our 2023 class has any incoming catchers. Feels like if Bargo jumps in the boat we might see someone hit the portal.
Stone Lawless who is immediately better than everyone not named Peebles. I’ve heard Stark is considering moving on. I’m not sure Miller ever amounts to anything as a catcher, but he does have some potential as a bat. Taylor is a guy who loves being at tennessee and is one hell of a teammate and emergency option to have around.

Tony V has some connections to the Bargo kid, I am not sure what’s their main reasoning for wanting to take him, but I think they want a left hand bat that is able to catch. Ultimately they just want competition at every single position because Tony V believes that brings out the best in the type of kids he wants on his team

In terms of me I have been transparent before that I am close high school friends with a recent former vol player, who is still great friends with many current guys on the team. He’s probably the biggest fan of the team I know and we talk about it often. All info I get is second hand at best and I don’t ask him who told him what, but generally he’s spot on

I don’t know that Bargo gives us anything Miller doesn’t.
