THREAD: Attention Vol Nation. I am about to shed some light on our current situation regarding the transfer portal and the University of TN athletics and their relationship with TVC/Spyre.

@ZehDuck Is it VFF? lmao

It cracks me up that there’s a guy on Facebook who has a VolQuest membership and he has fooled all the boomers over there into thinking he has sources. 🤣 They follow him and he thinks he’s famous. 💀

If you ain’t here with us when everyone in our basketball program transfers out in 24 hours. Don’t be here when we are 6-6 this coming football season. 😤😤😤😤

Josh Elander is absolute dog shit holy shit

Tony White, @Vol_Hoops Hall of Famer and one of the best to play at Tennessee, said it best about the exodus of transfers from the program. “These cats want to get a million dollars averaging 4 to 6 points. Back in the 80s, I could’ve gotten 8 million averaging 24 a game.” #Wiz

@brucey0brucey @vflSaun @BalesCarter @grok I will take this moment to reflect and ask you to help me understand where it’s coming from and to enlighten me. I’ve seen folks grill Kim on social media but nothing as far as reporters minus the stupid Holly Rowe tweet.

@brucey0brucey @vflSaun @BalesCarter @grok Most folks already know state media lobbies softball questions to coaches while national media tends to be more grilling and of course the media love discourse more than reporting facts. I have not seen Hubbs, AP, Wilson, or Cain report on Kim, only Barnes.

Can we all use our brains for a moment and realize Barnes and Caldwell are not remotely in the same realm of problems right now?? 😂😂😂

@brucey0brucey @vflSaun @BalesCarter @grok No one is skipping the debate except the folks ignoring the LV culture issues and trying to divert attention to a program that doesn’t have culture issues. Just use the “well the men’s program also has transfer” argument and leave Kimmy alone.

@MikeTheVol09 @vflSaun @BalesCarter @grok explain ad hominem to Mike here. I don’t read past the insult “cult” ….

@vflSaun @brucey0brucey @BalesCarter You can't argue with the cult. One coach has been doing this for 40 years and never had culture issues. The other has been in D1 for 3 years and is struggling to build a good culture.

@brucey0brucey @BalesCarter They grew and got better the entire season which is a sign of coaching and growing cohesion. I still don’t think the two situations are even comparable 🤷🏽‍♀️

@vflSaun No because the LV Cult wants to divert blame off their Queen

kim caldwell will address the departures. it will be succinct and classy. she won't spend a lot of time talking about those no longer there. she's moved on and focused on recruiting kids who have a blue collar mentality and who'd appreciate the chance to play for the #ladyvols

The worst part about all of this is the Kim apologists who just can't admit this last season was a disaster and want to blame anything but her leadership is verifiably wild. Cult like

@brucey0brucey We can call it whatever we want but the men’s program doesn’t have stories of backstabbing and toxic culture like the women’s team did this past offseason. The reason why the roster turnovers are the way they are are not the same scenarios at all.

@MikeTheVol09 The conversation is media bias

Well Kim is a disaster and Rick has proven he can build and coach a team so...

@brucey0brucey Kim has a total of 1 player committed to this roster for 26-27 season. Rick has about 5 more folks. Plus Rick has shown to be able to navigate year to year and build a competent roster. Evidence with 3 straight Elite 8’s. Kim hasn’t proven anything to suggest these are the same

@MikeTheVol09 6 players in the portal………only 2 less than Kim.

May be time for Tennessee to get a GM. Seems to be working fairly well for schools like OU & Georgia

@EdwardsOliviyah I don't blame you. Kim is a disaster

🧡🧡always love for Knoxville

@RyanTSylvia #EverythingSchool

Five-star forward Oliviyah Edwards has officially been granted her release from her signing to the Lady Vols ⬇️ rockytopinsider.com/2026/04/07/fiv…

@rck5349 Yea it’s odd we folks will shill for her so badly but shit I. Coaches like Rick and Josh who have actual accomplishments

@MikeTheVol09 Facts are facts. It isn't personal..it's business...she is not ready for this level..maybe never will be...not all coaches are...

Another Kim Caldwell apologist who hates when you talk bad about their queen.
