'25 Portal Thread

[MarcoVol]

Someone let us know what Sean Sparks has been saying about the MM situation. I’m sure it’s great info

 

[Vfl2407]

Hope we open it up and throw the ball all over the field next year

Hope we get at least one more SEC caliber starting oline.

 

[MarcoVol]

No idea what we are doing at the position. Had weeks to find WRs but sat on our hands because apparently there was a time until Squirrel left that they thought they were good at WR lol.

No idea how Heupel can’t see this is on the position coach.

Roster numbers have to be tight. Gonna have to push more guys into the portal come Spring.

Kudos to staff and Spyre navigating this portal. At different points in time I was concerned about 2/3+ of the guys I thought we needed for 2025 (and beyond). We lost none.

From here, I’d expect us to go after:
1. Starter quality WR
2. Starter quality G
3. Depth DT
4. Depth RB
5. Depth WR

We know a couple of the targets on this list

From here, I’d expect us to go after:
1. Starter quality WR
2. Starter quality G
3. Wash St DT
4. SD St RB
5. Jefferson

Top 2 are the big questions

Seems like a really smart man with a really good family. Glad he is a vol.

Not possible. Fans have been saying all week he only cared about getting his .

 

[VolGee4]

No tackle? Interesting..... Maybe we don't have the numbers but I would at least want an insurance policy at the tackle position if not a starter.

Reports have been they like the development of a couple of the young guys.

Given that the Branch brothers are presenting themselves as a package deal, would we have room to take both?

Welcome back MM!

We need the safety depth so would be nice to get them just for that safety piece

My only question would be then why, when our o line was struggling at tackle, were they not brought in to help?

I know you can't answer that but given it issues there it doesn't make me feel any better that they feel confident.

 

[LotteryPick]

Unscathed by the portal.

 

[Jack Burton]

HE WAS INJURED EARLY IN THE SEASON

Yes I know. I mentioned it in the earlier post.

According to King, S depth not a priority. Doesn’t mean we won’t get it but sharing

 

[deatojl]

Well….this is a different era of college sports, but also come on Todd Helton is a hall of famer.

Also, it's not like Todd Helton had an extensive impact as a football player here. I know his senior season was shortened due to injury, but he was 41/75 for 484 yards for his career.

HUGE BABY HUGE!! What a great start to a Friday! Donate to the Vol Club!

 

[Adam Sandler]

we have three guys coming in. 2 on campus. LOL, that is not good. one POSSIBLY coming via transfer.

dangit what can you do?

Time for the triple option I guess

Edit: MM and Boo running the wildcat

1.?
2.?
3. David Gusta - Cajon - Defensive Line
4. Angel Johnson - Viborg-Hurley - Running Back
5. Amari Jefferson - Baylor School - Wide Receiver

Any chance we contact Gusta's Washington State teammate that's in the portal for #2?

Well he knows stuff and I’m just a couch typing warrior. Eric’s list didn’t have safety either so I guess our staff feels fine at safety

 

[Jackcrevol]

LFG. Easier to get excited about AJ when it’s not a 1-for-1 swap. This is big time. Now, go drop a boatload of money on Branch and our room can be set.

I think their games complement each other quite well. I can see why staff what both.

I would love to add safety help, but we have to be pushing our scholarship numbers as is.
