2023 Recruiting

maybe she wants to see how many shirts of different schools she can get for her and family???
We know she is still looking for a school cause you stop visiting when you find one you want to be at. She seems to be down to three Tennessee, Sc. and LSU looks like NC is out not getting anymore visits.
 
Easy pitch, sadly. Aalyah meet Aliyah. End of story.
ADR will be the next post after Boston to pair with Cordozo but then where does that leave Watkins..or where does that leave ADR if Watkins is next up . Some of those players better consider playing time a thing , clearly some upper classmen can return an extra year ala Saxton .

I honestly can’t believe they’re going after her that hard with Joyce Edwards in the 2024 class, whom many think is SCs to lose.

I almost would bet that some of these young ladies who have shunned us and are going to shun us will regret it and end up here (eventually) thru the transfer portal if there is room. And it appears there will be.
 
There is talk that Joyce Edwards does not want to stay in state, so maybe that why? You never know with these kids.
Definitely could be right, that makes sense, and honestly I hope that’s the case. Don’t want to see Edwards and Watkins on the same team for 3 years.

Guranteed , a lot of recruits want to sign with the title teams for notoriety then realize half way through when they are glued to the bench behind upperclassmen do to so much depth they made a mistake lol.
 
Is there a limit to the offer of NIL money or is it just a part of the recruiting sales pitch. In other words, can a school actually guarantee money?

No, the school can't give them any money, the money comes from deals with collectives or individual businesses. The deals must be run through compliance and cannot specifically require playing for a certain school. But especially collectives can quite easily structure the terms so that fulfilling the terms of the contract would be nearly impossible without attending the school associated with that collective.

It's my opinion that all these late commitments are shopping for the best NIL deals. I absolutely don't blame them as I would be doing the same.

We really need Spyre to come through. But I've also wondered if CKH doesn't want to give a huge deal to a freshman and possibly mess with the team chemistry of what should be a final 4 team. That is just my own pure speculation.
 
Looks like South Carolina, through their NIL partners, are guaranteeing all women basketball players $25, 000 in NIL deals for this season.
 
Has nothing to do with not wanting her to come. This is another case of a player that has taken several visits to every school in question and still seems uncertain. The last one to do that finally decided on Texas. If you have taken three visits to every school you must be confused and uncertain why would you keep going for more visits otherwise?
Or Diligent and looking for the best fit

Most of the bigtime schools are doing that much at least some just aren't announcing it. The only two that have made that public is SC and Texas Tech. Tess has five deals I know about and even if they were only 5000 each that is 25000 and I am sure some are much more like the one with her and Zakai Ziegler of the men's team have together as Reps of a business.

Tennessee’s female players are likely making more than that. Tennessee’s female athletes (not just basketball) have some of the most lucrative deals in the entire country. They aren’t suffering there, and most of the big time players are going to get the deals they want at almost any school of their choice.
 
I think the way things are going Kellie needs to start announcing our NIL..All these schools & coaching are doing too much to get a recruit.
 
I liked the potential of some of recruits who signed elsewhere after considering Tennessee but I feel its time to move on. The recruits who are known to be remaining targets hopefully both commit here. They would be an outstanding fit in the LV program. I think either way it’ll be a step forward for Tennessee. I feel greatness in the makings.
