2022 Recruits

We have offered 8 of the top 25 in 2022 ! One (Justine) has given us a verbal …. Two (Barker and Latson) are out ….. There is still 5 that we could get in the top 25 and 4 or 5 others we have offered ! Someone once said : “It’s not how you start but how you finish !” Let’s not panic 😱
Even if we sign no one else in 2022 still another recruiting season to go through called the portal. Definitely will be full of players that thought they were the best and found more bench time than playing time. There will also be players at mid-major schools that excel to the extent that Power five schools will be looking to pick them up. 11 on roster for 2022 could be more depending on if Burrell wanted a fifth year.

I feel like we are missing something that recruits want. I mean our facilities are TOP notch, you literally won't find a better place to play than Thompson Boling Arena- the fans, atmosphere is the best. Its the epitome of women's basketball and use too TN had a fighting change to get anyone they wanted. What are yall thoughts on this? I mean we have 1 commit in 22 class right now and everyday the list is dwindling down with other kids committing else where. im confused 😕

Coach Rick Barnes, recruiter extraordinaire, has at this writing one commit for his class of 22.

How many of them have visited? And who is setting up visits that are almost certainly a prerequisite?

Some visits by mostly 2023 class . But they were on their own dime ! I expect some OFFICIAL visits between September and November? I would hope some commits during this time!

Early signing is 11/11/21—— 11/18/21 ???
Regular signing 4/14/22 —— 8/1/22 ???

I believe these date are accurate? Just from memory….. 🤔

I really don't get the appeal of Syracuse in the first place tbh
I think for maybe Lattimore and Wilson it was closer to home Canada. I think Bartlett once had an offer from Tennessee think that changed after Holly was fired. They've had elite players in the past so evidently the school has something to offer we don't know about.

Bartlett actually included us in her top 6 before she committed to Syracuse

Amani Bartlett commits to Lady Vols
Yeah, she decommited and I asked her why on her Instagram and she said long story. I didn’t know if her offer still stood and then she included us in her top 6 after they hired Kellie. I hope they can find a landing spot this late. School starts in a couple of weeks
 
Where all these four 2021 players are going should happen quickly August 19th is the day for the next quarter and if they intend to play they would need to be somewhere by then. I think if the coaches wanted to reach out to Lattimore and Wilson we would have a good chance of landing them. I don't expect it to happen, but getting two players like that would make us much more of a SEC title contender than we are now. Lattimore is a tremendous player and Wilson would immediately be the favorite for starting point guard. The depth and power of the team would go up tremendously. It would also designate about three current roster players to 0 playing time.

Latasha Lattimore, Shayeann Day-Wilson Decommit from Syracuse I think they want to go to the same school go get them coaches.

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up at LSU. Mulkey goes after players she has no loyalty to anyone on the current roster all about winning with her. She will take any player that helps her win games not concerned if current player get any playing time. Same for Walz another possible landing spot.

Are you suggesting she should not take better players out of loyalty to those who stayed?

Some coaches do and some don't just saying she is one that does. I have no problem with a coach doing it unless they are pulling scholarships to make it happen.

She came so late it would have been tough to have conversations which led to transfers to the right level. I’m sure those will come next spring which is when it ought to happen.
