2023 Recruiting

So is it now true that we completely struck out on '23 commitments? Unbelievable. 1 last year and 0 this year? I think it's clear that we have
some serious recruiting issues. What exactly the problem is--or problems--we don't know. Could be our recruiters, could be that Harper can't finish,
could be NIL....could be a combination of all three. It's not good. We'll need to lean on the portal to save our recruiting again.

Yeah, something certainly appears to need fixing...[earlier in this tread] hearing we will get at least 2 or 3, but won't take 4, seems a bit bewildering when we are currently stuck at ZERO 😮🤔

We have very knowledgeable fans and I know thoughts go through our mind privately and I got a feeling some of us feel a deeper level situation about recruiting but we are not going to post it on this forum and start a controversy.Sorry if I'm making a incomplete statement but that's all I'm making

Yea that’s what’s throwing me off as well! Like a program of our magnitude with 1 high school recruit over a 2 year recruiting cycle, that’s weird. I’m going to just enjoy this season and hope 24 turns out different.

I know we are down on recruiting and I am very disappointed, however, there are still a few players left on the ESPN top 100 list, hopefully we can still get at least 2 or 3 of them. I am not ready to give up just yet.

Hopefully they didn’t get tunnel vision on just those 4.

I’m not either, but we already have ten 2023 players. If Horston decided to come back, that would leave four spots open. Besides, the portal is likely to have experienced players that were ranked very high out of high school, like this year. Would you rather have a #75 high school recruit, or a previously ranked #20 player with college experience? We did well in the portal this year, wouldn’t mind seeing who’s in the portal for next year.

there will evolve out of this portal modification, a new type of coach/team/player

I've bought into Kelly more and if the on the court results continue, great. But there isn't an excuse to not land somebody when UCONN lands 3 in the top 20.

And all 3 were offered by TN. Kellie went especially hard after Ashlynn Shade. Samuels is 41 after the last update though.

This is just my gut feeling:

Nichols - would be shocked if she didn’t come
Booker - same
ADR - I think she comes to Tennessee. LSU got in the game late. SC is promising her the world to come.
Velez - not a package deal with ADR and is open to other choices. I can see her at Tennessee but could also see her at Syracuse.

Spot on as always...
