'25 Portal Thread

Please no one flame me, but the only “big time” portal entry for us that would make any kind of sense would be one of our freshman OL or a big name like Squirrel

Seldon?

 

[TrippieRedd]

Seldon?

I’m done saying anything about him since his family is on here.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Seldon?

That one makes the most sense actually. Was trying to think of who it’d be myself and that’s the only name that made sense to me.

I would’ve also guessed Mike Matthew’s but he recently did and interview with Price saying he wants to build on the Vandy performance. Granted, that doesn’t mean much

Would Ethan Davis make sense?

Top 3.
Warren
Davis
Seldon

 

[Christian Lowe]

Would Ethan Davis make sense?

I don’t think so considering the 2 TE sets we run a lot now. But again, nothing makes sense when money is involved and we have no insight into that aspect of it.

Watch it be a Joshua Josephs or Jermod McCoy lol.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Watch it be a Joshua Josephs or Jermod McCoy lol.

two that also would only make sense in the context of money

Please no one flame me, but the only “big time” portal entry for us that would make any kind of sense would be one of our freshman OL or a big name like Squirrel, and I feel stupid even mentioning him.

Pure speculation here based on imaginary scenarios and nonsense… but when I could see someone like Warren feeling like they’ve been recruited over or maybe Mike Matthews feeling like he hasn’t gotten the opportunities he expected, or Ethan Davis. They all have bright futures at UT tho so hopefully not

Someone posted something saying “anyone heard the rumor of Bishop entering the portal” I think it may have been @InVOLuntary

Absolutely agree, but those will pop up. Not gonna sweat it. We’ll have just as many go our way.

 

[NoogaVol96]

AP seems to be priming the GQ for a big portal entry IMO. Maybe @dascoop can shed some light.

How so

 

[bpalmer28]

Interesting

I had heard it somewhere else. Strictly a conversation with someone that has info in the past.

And, I'll add, my confidence on this is low.

Bishop? lol

If that’s true, Sampson is returning

Then I’ll go with Bishop.

 

[InVOLuntary]

See my edit.

He would be insane to do so at his position with his mileage.

 

[TrippieRedd]

As long as it’s not McCoy, Josephs, or Gibson, then I shouldn’t be tooooooo upset.

Apparently all these kids are getting manipulated by “agents” who are brokering deals with suitors before the kids even know about it. See the Jay Norvell discussion is post #1187 (my favorite shotgun, by the way, what a coincidence)

 

[LittleVol]

No. That would mean we’d lose.
Sampson (NFL)
Bishop (Transfer)
Keith (Transfer)

Bishop isn’t going anywhere tho imo.
He’s a Knoxville boy that’s firmly entrenched as the #2 back heading into the playoffs and the #1 back for 2025 and he’ll only be a sophomore.

Then you have his running mate in Lewis
along with two talented true freshman.
I won’t speak on Seldon.

Perhaps we do need a transfer portal RB.

Heard would piss me off

Just having a hard time trying to figure out who it could be.

Literally no one makes a ton of sense

Stop it. I’m trying to end my night on a positive note!

 

[volstudent26]

I really want Cam Coleman out of the portal. High upside super talented WR that was productive in his true freshman season at auburn but they couldn’t utilize him well at all in that offense since the rest of it sucked.
