'24 Transfer Portal

[bpalmer28]

Okoye just started playing American football in 2021.

I’d be shocked if he saw the field in ‘24

He's got the best coaching staff in America though!

Uh, yes please.

How would this affect E. Herring? I read somewhere that he is wanting more $$ or a threat to leave (not sure how true). And IF he goes to the portal, how does it affect his brother?
These sure are fun times both ways with lots of moving parts.

Go Vols!!

Herring has no leverage.

Watch Texas here for Trey Moore

It seems to me that there is already more kids in the portal and more talent in the portal than previous portal seasons. Anyone else getting that feeling? More young talent making use of it. More QB1s. Really hope we go out and aim to elevate ourselves through portal additions. Next couple years could be if we take advantage

I agree. I think we are really seeing the effects of NIL and free portal transfer this year.

I really want to see how much longer it is before it starts affecting teams like UGA/Bama that are sitting there with 4/5*(s) on bench that no longer want to wait their turn.

Herring has no leverage.

As the team's leading tackler, I doubt he's someone the coaches want to lose.

Wells would be upgrade over anything we've seen from our roster. Only thing Bru has on him is blocking...

Bru creates a size matchup for teams that sometimes creates other matchup problems. GBO

 

[Vfl2407]

Uh, yes please.

Here’s his game by game stats including how he played against the Vols this past September. If there’s mutual interest, at least he’s familiar with Neyland just like Joli of UCONN.

Ouch...............

Dudes an athlete for sure, but I have no clue where he will play in college. Played nickel/safety didn't see the physicality for edge or ILB, but like I said smooth athlete. His sophomore brother Zach is going to be the real deal. Wouldn't mind a flyer here.

 

[NighthawkVol]

Ouch...............

Delusional parents are the best. The real shame is, Keaton is being dragged down with Destin. By dad.

He doesn’t have an offer

 

[KptVFL]

Fu@%, Sh!+, Da^m, He!!

Could get bad for ya there Peay.

Guessing a fair share committed to play for the coach that's bolting. Likely have guys bolt now that wouldn't have considered it a month ago.

 

[Ttucke11]

I'm aware. Just giving some insight. Zach does have an offer though. Just saying if we had a spot we could do worse.

 

[Boston_Vol]

Ouch...............

their dad is going to ruin their career. The worst thing you can have un this world is a delusional parent

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Ouch...............

Pass.

Don’t need to deal with this drama.

It sucks to develop talent and then have them leave, but I get it.

Gotta rebuild

Shades of Juicy Locke.

That’s one I bet you haven’t heard of in a while.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Any info on the FCS Cornerback??

 

[MarcoVol]

Any info on the FCS Cornerback??

We offered him

 

[KptVFL]

Ouch...............

I get it.... He's "trying" to look out for his boy.

Not sure a public statement like that is gonna help his son out though.

Regardless..... bring on the Kensucky drama!

It's a horrible look.

I agree with that but he is nowhere near the type of production as a WR that Wells has been. I do hope Bru comes back. His size and strength is tough

 

[barrylee]

Speculation on a fan message board?! What has this world come to?

It’s not the speculation that’s a problem it’s the ones who state their opinion as fact that gets a little tiring.

 

[therickbol]

Ouch...............

I am here for all the negative publicity that is brought to those recruiting frauds at UK. At the same time, that interview shows me a parent that I am not sure I want around my program. Publicly saying those things about other players on the team is definitely not a good look. All parents carry some degree of bias towards there children. But it also sounds like he fails to see his son for what he is. Not sure an unbiased coach would evaluate him as an SEC-level QB.

It did almost sound like he was acknowledging him possibly playing another position though. Did anybody else take that away from what he said?
