Portal Activity (News and Rumors)

[10RC Mustard]

Is today the deadline for transfer portal entry or is it tomorrow?

As far as transfer targets, I guess the next big decision we are waiting for is from Luke Holman.

Today is the deadline

It’s closed, not sure if it closed when the clock flipped to midnight this morning or later tonight.

Well, looks like we'll be facing him next season.

hopefully it wont be 30 degrees in Knoxville next year when they play

Today is the deadline

Thanks!

Hopefully not!

Great point. It's not clear.

The following is from D1 but not behind a $ wall.

Great point. It's not clear.

However, in 8 minutes, it may not matter because nobody will be around to process the paperwork.

How did nobody ever think of sending CTV to old Jeremy and Butch for some pointers? Also, what is Dooley up to these days? Could we see CTV wearing orange pants and sitting on a stool?

The day I see Tony wearing orange pants is the day I start believing in Santa again.

Using 25+ innings in a season (which is what Cam got)

The 4 would get 25 minimum.

Fanning
Jenkins
Joyce
Fitz

3/4 were drafted anyways and wouldn’t be back. Who should any of those guys pitched ahead of this past year? You are going to have turnover on any good staff. There’s only so many innings to go around.

Ha! That’s true. I hadn’t considered that aspect.

Birmingham didn't send us there at that time of year by accident.

Great point. It's not clear.

I think I remember from pigskin that it ends at midnight of the day stipulated. Can't say I'm sure.

It the deadline that the portal entry has to entered in the national database. There is no deadline for signing a player in the portal.

 

[Volprofch05]

Nailed it. And from the inside, so to speak. It's mostly terminology, just like "analytics" are "statistics" rechristened (and of course statistics have grown in sophistication and computing power. Duh).

Everyone will soon be talking about "labs." New words flatter and make people feel cutting edge, especially those who least know but most want to impress. The fundamental research on motion, etc., is not proprietary.

Well, if "labs" becomes a trendy slogan that would be good for us, because last time I checked nobody was particularly enthusiastic about "labs"

I'm not an expert observer, so pardon me for asking what are his third and fourth pitches? He's only got two that I have observed.

He was primarily a fastball/slider guy but down the stretch he was throwing a change up and curve ball too.

Then, if he keeps those pitches, especially the change up, he could indeed be a starter.

Yep has to be consistent though. And the slider and fastball have to remain nasty to play off of
It. Again, that’s why he transferred. He wanted to guarantee he’s a starter the entire year because he wants to show he can do it. It’s the difference between him going too 3 and going top 30, which matters a lot $ wise

It’s a little flawed because if he felt he could perform well as a starter next year (I personally think he will be very good) then you should have nothing to worry about staying at UT, but he had just lost his trust whether that was deserved or not (I personally do not think it was deserved and an overreaction on his part)

Well, if true, then he is betting on himself to be a worthy starting pitcher, which is good to see. But you can be sure the entire incident is one day going to be looked at carefully by MLB teams when they evaluate him for the draft.

I'm sure it's like the other sports. They just have to have the paperwork in today. It could take a couple of days for the NCAA to officially list them as they process the paperwork, but as long as the paperwork was in, they've met the deadline.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Maybe he wondered why Dollander didn't get sent to pen or miss a start he wasn't setting the world on fire on the mound around the same time!!!!

One’s ERA was around 12 in SEC play, one’s was exactly 1/2 that, despite as bad as that is.

Labs were evil, Professor. Spent many a day walking back at 6:30 pm to Presidential complex after those adventures. Actually, there were some good ones, too.
