Vol Nation

@CraigGrafx @Danielflip2 @Clowfb @NathanWest Evans was better in year one than Boswell was last year. He definitely has higher upside overall.

@Danielflip2 @V_F_L_ @Clowfb @NathanWest He could develop into a better defender but I don’t remember the hottest shooter in the country calling out Evans, by name, after the sweet 16.

Talked to several in around Tennessee’s program and Vols are willing to pay, but not overpay. Rick Barnes will be aggressive in the portal. Emphasis will be on players who want to be at Tennessee and build on three straight Elite Eights, and he knows he has to have more scorers.

@CraigGrafx @Clowfb @NathanWest Rick will find a good on-ball defender, but we need a 2 guard who can create his own offense

@V_F_L_ @Clowfb @NathanWest Yes, we’ll be fine. We’ll also miss our best on-ball defender. Both can be true.

@CraigGrafx @Clowfb @NathanWest We’ll be fine

@Clowfb @NathanWest Boswell was statistically our best 3 point shooter by %, he just lacked the confidence to keep shooting when he’d miss one. But he did improve by seasons end & he had some huge games in March. He was our best defender. We’ll miss him.

@Russell___Smith who was that caller the other day that said he’d trade coaches with Miami of Ohio?? Lmao what a clown

@W98949346W @VolMoose2 Yeah because winning one game makes you better as a program lmao. We just beat Vandy in basketball 3 weeks ago.

Hell yeah, I love getting our backs blown out by Vanderbilt while our athletic Director raises the ticket prices another 20%, I absolutely love it! Am I doing this right sheep?

Just leave already please. @AD_DannyWhite

@JakeAndBall @joeypetersen8 Sorsby is probably gonna get close to $5 million from Texas Tech

@joeypetersen8 No. Seems like a circus with his camp. Feel like Hoover or Sorsby would be cheaper, better fits with less noise/ego.

If Leavitt's price was $4 MM...would you pay it?

@MarineVol1371 Boo lost that opportunity when he skipped workouts with his teammates for 2 weeks. Thats on him.

We will get to find out next year. But I am afraid you are right. I mean he didn’t even see the field on the defensive side of the ball last night. His mom claiming “injury” but nothing has officially been released from the team. Boo was also supposed to have gotten opportunities to play offense and defense this fall and that hasn’t even been close to happening. We have the best trio of WR’s in the SEC, but behind that who do we have? He would have also provided depth for us as well as lighting the work load for some of the WR’s. It doesn’t make sense how he was so good last year and this year it’s like he don’t care. He will go ball out his last 2 years at someplace like UGA or Colorado and our coaches will take even more heat from the fans over him.

@ALLVOLNEWS I don’t necessarily think they should fire heupel this year but I think it’s becoming more clear that we will never win a championship with him at head coach

ATTN: All Tennessee fans.

412 yards of offense allowed in 3 quarters to this team lmao

@wesruckerTBA It’s not gonna stay. Danny not promoting Elander is gonna be a big blow to this program.

That 2027 class looks like a potential all-timer. If it stays.

@gmannVOLS It’s really going to suck when he’s coaching at Arkansas in 2 or 3 years

Baseball thoughts: 1. News timing had nothing to do with Tony V / Tennessee, just national MLB guys doing their thing, it's just unlucky for us 2. It's obviously done, we've seen enough coaching searches to know how these end 3. I don't hate Tony V for taking the jump, I get it. An unprecedented hire by an MLB team, of course it happens to us 4. The similarities to Bruce, building from nothing, really suck. It's just fun to win with the guys who got their big break with you and you were there from the start 5. idk how much I buy drama with NIL / rev sharing, but I imagine it's a new reality of college athletics and isn't easy at an 'everything' school like Tennessee 6. It has to be Elander and this would calm me down a bit 7. Beat Bama

@FOXSportsKnox If that’s the case then: 1. Why didn’t he leave in December? 2. Why did he no show at practice the day before the spring game? @joelklatt

PROPAGANDA: Fox Sports’ Joel Klatt says that Tennessee ran out propaganda about Nico Iamaleava’s departure: “I would defend Nico… he never really got a chance to tell his side of the story… Tennessee ran out basically a propaganda effort, and got to tell the story without Nico being involved at all,” said Klatt. Klatt also said that the move was not about money and that Josh Heupel runs a “glorified high school offense”. Klatt is taking shots at the Vols this week. #ForTheFans

Arkansas

@VOLBOYx I’m down

What do we think about a vol twitter Among Us session on stream? Would need like 7 peeps. Preferably people that know how to play! Reply and I’ll make a group chat if we get enough replies and I’ll see it up this week

@KuruBwa @VOLBOYx Up until this point it doesn’t seem like they’ve been interested in any that are already in the portal now. Maybe that changes if he actually leaves for another school.

@V_F_L_ @VOLBOYx That I can agree on. Hopefully they get a portal guy. We’ll just have to wait n see im prayin

I’m actually going off the deep end over losing Jakobe. I usually shrug it off but this one doesn’t feel right man smh

@KuruBwa @VOLBOYx He’s not a great player, but we don’t have a lot of depth there. He was probably gonna play more this year than last. So just the timing of it isn’t great.

@V_F_L_ @VOLBOYx Regardless, Jakobe wasn’t all that. Solid player and reliable but that energy he played with made yall believe he played a bigger role than he was. Dude got torched and missed assignments in a lot of the big games. Especially against Ohio state giving up Seam passes

@KuruBwa @VOLBOYx Not guaranteed that he’s gonna be able to play this season

@VOLBOYx We’ll be fine. Outside of his energy, he’s replaceable. Jourdan gon be back anyways

@MertzAndrew @whoolee0 @SRochesterNBA He already got rewarded for that. If you’re gonna pay someone over $50 million when they’re 37 don’t you want them to be available and playing hard almost every night? Pat shouldn’t have said what he said publicly.

@V_F_L_ @whoolee0 @SRochesterNBA That year was the most games he ever played in a season for the heat. And Jimmy carried them to the finals, the FO basically had no right to say shit. That team was not a finals team Jimmy, bam and spo, mostly Jimmy, made them one anyways

I'd rather lose every game the rest of the season than have Jimmy acting like an asshole on my team. It's really not the flex you think this is...

@MertzAndrew @whoolee0 @SRochesterNBA Record if their best player misses 22 games.

@MertzAndrew @whoolee0 @SRochesterNBA The year before he wasn’t asking for an extension and they went to the finals. We don’t know what they said to him behind the scenes about availability after that season. I agree the front office could have built a better roster around him but most teams are gonna have a worse
