Tamarion McDonald is entering the transfer portal

[Sarms58]

McDonald is a hard-hitting DB - wish him the best.

 

[Deebowbear]

Waiting for Martinez to hit the portal. He's the common denominator.

This 100%

A couple of these players were very good players.
The Tennessee way is this : we are going to have a completely revamped secondary and
Martinez can use this as an excuse next two yrs saying they lack experience. As long
as Martinez is here, I don't think our secondary will ever be efficient.

Well, if there was ever a time and team against whom to roll-out an all-new defensive backfield of freshmen and walk-ons...

Are we wrong or is Heupel?
Has Martinez been considered a successful recruiter and/or player developer at any of his stops?
im not being a smart a$$. I’d really like somebody that supports Martinez to tell me why they do.

I’m finding it harder and harder to get excited for our bowl game.

 

[Volinnooga]

Pretty simple--the guys who are pretty good college players but likely won't make the NFL are testing the NIL market. Their football time is running out so they need to get what they can now.

Why should he leave voluntarily when he can stay on and collect the money? He’s gonna make them fire him.

Hopefully we just let his contract run out and we change the locks.

If Nico is all everyone hypes him to be, it'll be about 31-10 Vols.

If Nico is a typical freshman qb, it may be more like 13-10 Vols.

 

[landscapingvol]

I find it comical that all these players in the portal think they are getting paid especially very average ones

 

[volfeeva]

Wouldn't it be easier to just state who has not entered the transfer portal. I think every player has but a very small number

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Maybe we should go to a 4-3 defense for the bowl game so we won't need as many DBs, lol

 

[DeadByDaylightFan]

why even worry about keeping a DC for recruits when all the players just hit the portal every off season

 

[Volhoops]

If they threw a bag of money at him he probably wouldn't turn his head to catch it and miss it entirely.

Now that’s funny . Sad… but funny

His contract is up soon. He wasn't extended and his contract ends after the season. No idea when that date would be, but pretty soon.

 

[JohnWardForever]

wait... Iowa has a passing game?

They will by Jan 1.

 

[JohnWardForever]

A lot behind the scenes, I believe the loyalty to players that stayed when he became coach has probably reached its in. I believe positions are up for grabs, now you will have to earn your spot and some of these guys see these players in practice and no they’re coming. I really like Taron McDonald thought he was pretty good physical player, but there was one thing that I always kept saying you’re always a step if not two steps late to stop the play or make a play on the ball. I believe he seen the play just didn’t have the speed to stop it. I also believe he had his best year yet this past year. Best of luck, Guys

To slow to play DB. Too small to play LB, maybe if He put on 20 and picked his speed up.

This makes sense. Even if it were average spending cash for a working man, this could mean a lot to a college student.

 

[livefaith]

Like Klubnik? Did you know that his parents drove more than TEN HOURS to see his Heisman performance against us?

Wow, really. I missed that tidbit in the midst of his "Orange Bowl" Documentary. Will have to go back an watch again.

 

[Iravolfan]

Gonna be VERY thin in Secondary next season
