'25 Portal Thread

Bama and Florida are both road games next year. Those are usually losses. The Georgia anywhere is usually a loss. We usually have one totally unexplainable loss to a clearly inferior team. Next year's schedule will be tougher than this year's schedule.

Might as well not even play.

If Kaleb Perry transfers then we should just not recruit the state or Kensucky at all because they never work out. He and Christian conyer were two highly rated kids we stole from UK and neither panned out. In fact I can’t remember the last kid from Kensucky who was worth a damn for us.

Don’t forget Channing Fugate. I’ll give him a pass for that sweet ass handlebar mustache tho.

Thanks for the well known information. That doesn’t erase my point to your point that basketball and baseball are superior to football when folks are discussing the deterioration in interest due to transfers. I’ll be in LNS cheering for Doyle and Fischer the same way I will homegrown Ensley but it doesn’t mean I enjoy seeing guys for 1 year and then they’re gone to MLB or one of our own recruits bailing for greener pastures.

I get your point but I’m fine with learning about new players while watching the #1 ranked Vols winning.

Type of lb I’d love to get. Played a lot of football

 

[VolGee4]

He would be far more valuable if we actually threw a lot of passes to the tight end, but we don't.

He can block and catch, which is very valuable. Just like Fant, he also had a rushing TD. I would like to see more to the TE’s, but having that option is valuable.

 

[Jack Burton]

curious, what did Basilio have to say about Staes? he definitely was underwhelming for us which sucks to see

It was after Fall Camp. TB heard from someone on staff that they felt like Staes was a “miss”.

3 Stacks!

With more carries, the yards per carry get smaller?

Considering he had a quarter of his annual yardage against Kent State with 7 carries, 120 yards and 17 ypc? Yeah..ypc gets smaller against better comp

Luke Stocker?

He was serviceable it seems, but my expectations from all that was said when he portalled was that he was athletic. He was not as athletic as Kitselman.

Good blocker but wasn’t the receiving threat we’d thought he’d be IMO

Basketball don’t count.

Of course, that’s not what you said previously.

It does if it’s Chris Lofton. Luke Stocker, Rob Smith, and Craig Faulkner are from Kentucky

Highly recruited?

[BigOrangeTrain]

Yep. I can see 5 losses next season. 7-5 is my pick for '25.

No way we lose 5.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

We have to improve the roster and coaches or we are backsliding, no question, next season

Cool. What’s next years winning lotto numbers?

Who said highly recruited?

I said highly rated. As in one of the best prospects from Kensucky

I appreciate the time these guys going in the portal have put in, but on all accounts they are getting passed up by better underclassmen and new recruits. Our team is getting much deeper and more athletic on the back half of the roster than where we have been in a long time. Still need to get some more playmakers.

[RiseToTheTop]

Watching Rutgers thanking god we dont have Schiano

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I hope there’s a good receiver on a playoff team that were back channel targeting. I’d hate to think we’re seriously not gonna sign a receiver from the portal and none of the current players in the portal appeal to me.

You’re right, that’s what you said. But he wasn’t highly rated either lol.
