You are likely correct, but I heard his asking price is crazy high, so it wouldn't shock me if he suits up for the Vols. FWIW, this is all being driven by his advisor. I know the coaching staff at UConn spoke with Reggie when he was thinking about the portal and highlighted the opportunities here at UConn with the D'Amelio NIL. So he decided not to go through with the portal after that conversation, only to go back to his advisor who told him he pretty much had to if he wanted to get his price. Sadly, this is something we're going to have to get used to. From this point forward, every time a freshman and sophomore blows up in Storrs, they will do exactly what Reggie did.

If we can do anything to help our beloved university, it's to start contacting those we know who have money to spare and ask them to create opportunities for our athletes. Hell, if I was Governor, I'd make life so difficult for ESPN unless they helped UConn in this new environment. They have way too much invested here to pull out.
