I know we cant base anything off social media but I've looked at all of KK Bransford instagram posts and Lacey Goldwire (main recruiter) liked EVERY POST...some of y'all will say "so what she can like anybody pics" BUT if you go thru Justine Pissott IG Lacey again liked EVERY POST and she committed.....🤷‍♀️


I went thru Ayanna Patterson IG and coach Lacey hasnt liked ANY of her posts the same with Janiah Barker

If KK is the next person to verbally committ to the Lady Vol I wouldn't be surprised.....hope it happens😆

and Coach Lacey needs to start "liking" Ayanna's IG posts🙃

Once a target is confirmed, I think it's less important what the coaching staff's social media activity is vs. whether the recruit is engaging with the school on social media (liking posts, following players, etc.).

Hopefully KK is reciprocating Lacey's attention!

I once was a HUGE fan of Ace.....She is a very nice girl and will have a nice college career....She will be a star for them..

Based on what I have seen of Justine, we've got the bigger gun, with a lot of versatility....
Coach Kellie is bringing in scorers, big scorers....And that's the way I like it....

I know Game Time was high on this player ..... as were several others ! As I have pointed out previously, we need a big to replace Key and Sanders ( There Senior years in 22). We have size with Pruitt , Stricklin , and Justine. But they are not true 5’s . JMO

And We could use a pg that can take us back to elite status. We are loaded with 2’s, 3’s, & 4’s . Would we be able to keep Jordan H, or Jordan W., to play another year till Destiny, or Miles, or ???? Can take over ?

There are Tennessee players either rated very highly or not very high ! But I don’t see us in the discussion about them playing at UT ? 🤷‍♂️
If we WIN.....They will come ! JMO

I agree PRG...It would be very nice to have a big post player commit to us for 22....She doesn't need to be much of a scorer, just a big body for defense.....

I'm sure Kellie and her gang are working on that very thing....What we think we know, they for sure already know what is needed....

Like I said in another post were going to need some attrition to sign more than two players in 2022. Of course that could happen but right now just looking at the roster and who is returning or capable of returning we only have two to give and one has been given.

Kasi & Jaiden are gone after this szn they had said it themselves and there is no way is Rennia is gonna stay in college when she has a degree and could be making money playing basketball.....with keyen's injury she might choose to come back

If Rae and Walker dont get injured their last 2 season, both having finished their degree, and Rae having a great chance to go high in the 2022 WNBA draft I dont see either of them staying another year

What Burrell and Walker do after next season is certainly the question that will give a clear answer and that might already be answered if we commit three or more players for 2022.

She looks like another one of what Coach Kellie is bringing in here; scorers...She looks fabulous Coach!

The days of rebounds and defense winning championships have mostly been done away with by quick ref whistles, and the effects of an awesome 3 ball attack.....

If a team has 3 shooters, that can bomb from the deep outside, there's not a lot that can be done by a defense to stop them....If you try and guard them close, the ref will whistle you...

I'll remember the name Maddie Hawk...

Coach, I'll never forget the practice my wife took me to when Holly was coaching.....When she scolded our girl for popping the deep 3 ball, instead of throwing the ball to the big girl inside, I knew our program was doomed under her guidance...

The horrified look on the shooters face, and the other girls faces said volumes of what was to follow.....A fall from prominence was in full fee fall...

The three is indeed a weapon, but so is the drive, fastbreak and powering it inside...to be a high level team, you have to be proficient in every atmosphere of the game...So far, Coach K seems to understand this,,,although I do wish she'd put the posts through a Coach Jumper clinic this summer...I could do so much for the post play for this team...Forwards and Centers are what I train best

Madi is high on Tennessee. I’m hoping she keeps elevating her game.

I will be seeing her play a couple of times over the winter...staying in touch with this one,,,and a great family, her mom, Audrey is 100% behind her. She will be playing for the same summer org that Wynn and Miles is from, this summer....She knows she is still learning the game. A very driven young girl.

I can only tell you that the number of three point shots taken over the last 10 years is very consistent for this team. Between 14-16 every season.

With the players Holly had, Kellie would've went to final 4 3times even win a championship.And now she made it hard for Kellie because she has to prove what she can do to get top recruits.
