'25 Portal Thread

Let's be honest, nobody is tampering with damn squirrel white unless it's Butch Jones.

Eh, he was hurt this year. Had 800 yards last year and a couple of unreal catches.

His speed would be great for some lower level P5 programs.

Really really hope I'm wrong about Brazzell now. Lol.

Hate that Squirrel is leaving. Injury plaqued year but he left it all on the field. Best of luck Squirrel!

I think he will go to a decent g5 team.

Interesting timing with Boo news looking positive.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Boo took Squirrel’s spot


Battle of nicknames

 

[Jackcrevol]

Just set a scarecrow with brickhands laying on the ground and squirrel is replace

make sure it can dive 6 feet forward for a catchable pass, then still miss it.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

hate he didn't stick around. I may be in the minority here, but hitting reset on that room is a good thing. give money to someone dynamic.

Squirrel had GREAT hands last season, especially at Bama where he had 8 catches on 8 targets at halftime and was largely responsible for our lead. I know he was hurt, and hes tough, but he dropped a lot of balls this year just like everyone else. Wish him the best.

Staley is the real deal IMO and will do fine starting in the slot. Dodson is SUPER quick and talented as well and can back him up...likely with Boo getting snaps there as well in the slot. We will be fine at slot WR and this is a mistake by Squirrel IMO. Much love and respect for him though, and hope he makes it to the league. He DID give HIS all for Tennessee playing most of the season with a torn labrum in his shoulder. He was likely getting injections on gameday to dull the pain.

We have to get a couple portal WR. Nobody's left

I like Tru Edwards personally.

Bigger guy.

I'll suit up.

 

[lfvol]

This is good. Save the money and spot for someone that can hopefully take hits, stay on their feet for catches and make more YAC

This . Not good enough to start. Hopefully this is a sign they recognized that and moved on.

don't get my BVS started.

December 29th can't get here fast enough.

No, we tried the bigger guy route the last 2 years and it was awful. Gotta have good YAC guys

Won a national title in baseball.
#1 in basketball. Just made the elite eight for second time in history.
Have beaten Alabama and Florida in 2 of last 3 years in football. Finished second 10 win regular season in three years after being lost for 25 seasons. #1 player in country from 2 years ago at QB. #1 player in country for 2026 committed at QB.

And people on here are miserable. Hopefully people have enjoyed this run more than it appears here right now.

I can't speak for everyone, only myself. I've been ecstatic with baseball and basketball. And I've expressed that. I've also bee really happy with Heupel's progress. Tennessee has always been a football first school. Many of us are old enough to remember when we were great. We all want to get back to that. It's not misery, it's a desperate longing to win championships again. Watching Bama's run, and now Georgia's, now that is misery. It hurts seeing rival schools succeed. Right now, we're doing better than we have in a long time, but it still feels like we're so far away from a championship. And, not gonna lie, that hurts.

 

[Weezer]

I thought he took a discount to stay?

 

[landscapingvol]

I will never understand why some of y’all get so worked up over who is/isn’t an insider and who believes it or not.

If another VN member thinks dascoop, KingVFL, or bassmastervol is an insider, what is it to me?

It doesn’t bother me in the least. I just find it comical

 

[Volbrando]

I thought he took a discount to stay?

Maybe things changed if Boo was taking a spot

 

[JCVol00]

So with 6 scholarship wr’s left, think we HAVE to get a portal wr or 2 now. Preferably studs

 

[knoxvol52]

don't get my BVS started.

Don't fret I think Jack Jancek can get another year from NCAA...

 

[Weezer]

At this rate, we're going to have no one left.

 

[LaagerVol]

As each day goes by in the re-up cycle it is my considered opinion that a group of posters' resumes reflect the toughest thing they have built is a set of legos.

 

[OmegaVoLL]

So is there room for concern with everything, or can we fix this through portal if it all smooths out?
