No it wouldn’t have been Kellie’s fault. It would’ve been understandable had they not stayed because that’s not who originally recruited built the relationship and recruited them.

In my eyes, the coaching change didn’t really matter to TK or Jordan, I’m sure it helped that Kellie seems personable and fun to be coached by, but if the coach was the top priority for them, they would’ve left with Holly, like MiMi. No matter how one slices or dices it, I’ll forever look at both as Holly’s recruits.

I think eventually it will be irrelevant question
of who gets credit for TK and JH if Kellie starts to gather momentum as a recruiter. There still some anxiety about this question among some of the LV fans even if we feel that she is solid in every other way. Reel in a couple of top 30 players every year and these concerns will be behind us.

All the leg work was done. Since she never decommitted you can't give that to Kellie. Also Horston talked about the signs that pointed her to Tennessee when she committed to Holly. I don't think UConn or SC really recruited TK, at least not hard. They both were battling for Boston.

Kellie took a mid- major to the S 16. Her seniors from that team won last night. My point is that high school rankings are not always indicative of how a player will play in college.

Whether the leg work was done or not, whenever a coach is fired or resigns not only does the incoming coach have to encourage the current players to stay but she/he also has to convince (re-recruit) the incoming players signed to stay committed. Them announcing whether they decommitted is irrelevant. So yes Holly gets credit for the initial commitment, but Kellie also gets the credit for ensuring not only that they stay but that they have become great players for us, whether some of you believe it or not.

It amazes me how many of you can continue to say you're Lady Vol fans but every thread show your disdain for everything concerning Kellie and/or the players. I just don't get it and probably never will. Are y'all really fans? You don't always have to be all in (Positive) but some of you (and I am not saying you in particular) are never satisfied with anything Lady Vols and that's disheartening.

Yep. Toxic.

Yea I’ll be a little bit more relaxed once Kellie starts to win important recruiting battles. I’d love to become a mainstay in the FF again, but you definitely have to have the pieces, which normally includes highly rated recruits.

I want to see Coach Harper do well, but letting these in-state players go to some of the top programs in the country is mind boggling. Mallory could’ve helped Tennessee. Why did we not get her?

I'm confused if she signed her it'd be ... why did kellie get an unranked player or not highly ranked player . But since she didn't sign her it's why'd she let her get away?

Maybe there's another target they r focusing on. I'm sure Kellie realizes and there is a need for a post.

I think there are some other pieces out there they have turned their attention too.

We needed a post player and Collier was one of the tops in the country, not some unranked player. They were definitely recruiting her. One of the top programs in the country got her instead.

Ok, a couple things. She released a top 10 list TN wasn't on it for whatever reason. TN gaged some interest and moved on. When Maria mentioned last week they were gauging interest and there was some but both parties moved on.

We need a post and yes NC St got her but that doesn't mean TN isn't in on some players we may not expect. I think she is top 50 but u know people on here go by ESPN hoopgurlz and she isnt top 10 so you know how that goes. She is a good talent no doubt i'll be interested to see how she does.
