[ScoobaDawg]

Tennessee will now have to go thru the season with an intern it seems. Has to hurt them a little.

Guess we?ll find out if Elander has the chops or not

[SaintDawg]

LOL… I bet TN folks is pissed! Portal transfers abound.

I don't think we'll see a Schlossnagle to Earley type fall off from Tennessee but I do think they will take a step back. I kind of hate it tbh because I wanted to beat them with him there.

Where are they going to transfer? They'd be ineligible for this upcoming season.

Lemonis to Tennessee***

Honestly for one year, it probably would yield pretty good results. If he has someone else's talent he can push the right buttons. Now after 1 year it would fall off a cliff.

Not if the coach leaves.

The exception currently allows players to enter the transfer portal during a 30-day window that opens the day after their coach leaves or is fired. The committee approved a new format, however, that is shortened to 15 days and begins five days after a new coach is hired or announced, seemingly in an effort to crack down on midseason portal activity.

Incorrect. Kendall Rodgers just refuted that about 10 minutes ago.

I can almost guarantee that want happen. Most likely an assistant will take it this year.

Not trying to argue but what I posted is off the NCAA website. if that is not true why is that posted? Curious!

Being able to enter the transfer portal and transfer is different than doing so and being immediately eligible. Will be interesting to see if any leave and are immediately eligible.

We're both not wrong. They can transfer. They just aren't immediately eligible. They have to sit out a year.

I have a feeling we end up with a player or two next year from Tennessee and Florida. It sucks for those players but we have been through this before at MSU.

I'm surprised that Tennessee promoted Anderson instead of Elander. That tells me that they aren't going to roll with Elander.

I feel you on wanting to beat them. I'm the same way. And we would have won our share for sure. Shaping up to be a wild baseball offseason with Tennessee and I think Florida will officially open up at some point and then I can't see Earley making it at A&M. We'll see how long Manieri survives at South Carolina.

I'm glad we got O'Connor when we did!

I don't know- I just think that Lemonis is going to end up somewhere like The Citadel where it's low pressure.

I don't think he can win anywhere in the SEC that doesn't have top of the line resources. Tennessee has more than they did but not sure he can succeed there.

He might do OK at Florida though where they have resources and not the most pressure in the league.

[CaptainObvious]

I smell a lawsuit from the players who transfer into Tennessee this past portal cycle. And I expect them to win especially since Vandy?s QB got his 7th year approved.

[EdwardDrayton]

I hope he falls on his 17face at SF and their puke orange program burns to the ground.

Back to baseball mediocrity for the Vols lol
