'24 Vols Transfer Offers

[TrippieRedd]

Sounds like McCoy is gone. Good job Willie, ****ing dumbass

Im just curious, but why wouldn’t we take 2 TE transfers instead of 1 and a HS project like that kid from California?

VQ mentioned Davis may enter the portal with 2 transfers and the staff really like Davis.

 

[Jimmyandjoes]

We’re afraid to hurt feelings

As we tell our entire secondary to find somewhere else to go

So bringing in 2 transfers would cause him to leave but 1 transfer and 1 HS TE is ok? Doesnt make much sense imo

 

[csprig9]

On fire

I’d say we got mincey, Omari and Campbell so far
Some of you guys just like to bitch and complain

coaches wanted some of them but didn’t want to pay the price for them. Wouldn’t really call that telling them to go somewhere, more like mutual parting of ways

Maybe but we paid our Oline and Dline. If we wanted them bad enough, would we have paid them more or do we feel like we can get equal or better for less $$

Makes perfect sense. Heupel likes to use two TEs. Davis is guaranteed to be one of the two and a transfer would be the other guy. The third guy being a transfer would mean Davis getting major competition for his playing time whereas a high school guy wouldn't be ready to compete and would just add depth. We definitely don't want to lose Davis. If he's healthy, he's going to be our biggest playmaker at TE in a long time.

What is this waiver sh!t that Ole Miss has concocted? Sounds shady af.

Very shady. “Here, sign this. Oops, now you can’t visit other SEC schools haha!”

How is it even enforceable? They just pull his Ole Miss offer? Sounds like something Clemson used to do.

Gonna end up costing them with just the negative recruiting.

Good data and thanks for sharing
Looks like most of the top programs in SEC are waiting to sign players from the portal just like us, they are waiting on visits to other schools to occur (driving up NIL value), waiting on NIL packages to be shared and thus compared to players debating which teams to sign with, waiting on some players to enter the portal ( top schools know that some players are still yet to hit the portal, so it's a waiting game for the dominos to drop for "top" talent. Time to be patient even though we cannot.
Go Vols

Agree with being patient. Top teams, including Tennessee, are prioritizing NIL for their own players to return, while teams that are losing players (Kensucky, SCjr) are prioritizing NIL for early portal players.

I wonder how that’s going to affect the locker room next year?

LoL. I can't believe this board is still free.

If he's healthy is the most important part of that statement.

Also, it concerns me if he's afraid of competition. I like it when players embrace competition with the belief they're going to win out. Confidence, but not arrogance.

Still, I hope Davis balls out next season and avoids the injury bug.

That's not at all what I got from the VQ quotes. What makes you think this?

 

[Vawlz]

Not sure what you want the coaches can do about it--NIL is here to stay. Some people in any organization (NFL, business) are always jealous of others who make more. It's up to the coaches to manage the locker room and tell a kid who's overplaying his NIL hand to hit the road.

He can’t leave soon enough, it’s killing us.

Volnation: we need talent.

WM: Keeps same players and never plays younger ones to see if any are better

Everyone leaves and we have minimal DBs

Volnation: we are fine with no depth and willie is great.

Funny how his DBs do way better in the nfl than in college

What happened? I thought we were still in good shape here and battling A&M for him.

Memphis, you know just as good as I do how this ends

I wouldn’t have let dude leave without committing

Also, A&M’s depth chart in the secondary is just as thin as ours now.

Their money and home state

Us

We got the young talent now and we have 4 more coming in
That gives us what, 10 soph or freshmen dbs

You can’t say play the young guys when that’s all we now have and then bitch about not getting portal players to play over them

I don’t like CWM either but these are his recruits now and I’m interested to see how he does with his guys

You can play that game with high school kids and their family who are new to the recruiting process, but most highly sought after transfers know the drill and would tell you where you can stick it if you try to force them into a commitment like that.

Three 4*DBs and one 3*, gotta like that.
