'25 Portal Thread

[therickbol]

From the OSU game, we need to go over to the track team to find some guys to come play....I've never experienced a game where we just looked slow.

You missed the entire 2000-2020 seasons of UT football?

Move that NIL offer from Thompson to this kid if we still want a portal guard.

honorable mention in the Big10 Prly won’t do much better in the SEC

Guess you weren't thrilled with Josh Thompson either than huh?

Are there B10 all-conference OL in the portal?

Yea, he said Big 10 honorable mention all conference guys won't do much in the SEC. Josh Thompson was honorable mention this year, the guy everyone crashing out about lol.

Northwestern has had more 1st round draft picks at OT in last 5 years than Tennessee. The kid is a good player.

Correct. Let’s give the guys we recruited out of high school a chance…. Maybe pick up these guys as depth piece practice warriors

I'm all for playing the guys on the roster.

I’m very excited to see our freshman play next year at LB and Spillman!

Can’t be any worse than how things have looked since Pilis injury. Lb play has been poor for a bit.

Have said before Spillman looks to have the most upside on the roster.

CBB and Baseball are superior in so many ways!! So much better.

We work the portal and transfers so much and so well in those sports. Prolly what you appreciate. Cuts into our football NIL, but that’s the cost of being an #everything school.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

If we had Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, Rob Gronkowski, and Shannon Sharpe as our tight ends, they'd be targeted on about 30-40 total passes combined per season.

Seemed like TE receptions were up this year

Tennessee has also been evaluating wide receivers and running backs. We believe they would go bigger at wide receiver than at running back where we think they would be looking for more depth than anything else. Tennessee obviously still wants to add defensive linemen as well.

No way! Our coaches suck and don’t want playmakers and we have no money!

I think it's mostly that we have no money

This… we lost because we got out coached. I love Coach Huep, but I’m a realist. This offense is totally different than the 2022 offense that he wowed everyone with. Play calling was terrible most of the year, and we still won 10 games. We have the athletes to compete with OSU, but we got way out coached. I believe Huep knows this too

Even better....throw the money at their OL coach and let him work with what we got while he does our OL evals?

“Outcoached” is just some BS someone said once and others thought “that sounds cool I can say that and sound like I know something “

We started Will Brooks at safety. No offense to Will Brooks, but we don’t have the same athletes they got. We don’t have a receiver that would have seen the field for them.

Not sure any team in the country goes into the Shoe and wins last Saturday night. However, we were obviously too predictable on both sides of the ball.

Yup. It’s the generic ignorant fan “analysis” of every loss, along with “bad/predictable play calling.”

Kinda looks that way so far

Some of our fans have gone off the deep end. It’s comical on how some of you are acting.

We need to add receivers who can get open and CATCH the ball. It would be great if they could out run everyone, but, Larry Seivers caught a lot of footballs.
