So, Olivia McGhee has reopened her recruitment. She had not committed, but she has reassessed based on coaching changes and circumstances.

Olivia McGhee 6’3” Guard from Va. Ranked #36 hoop girls 2023 recruit . She had an Unofficial visit with us 7/2021 ! We have no 23 recruits as of yet ? 6’3” Guard ……. That’s a big guard ….. just saying 😁

Number 17 a big pickup for Texas who now has two 2023 players that have committed.

If I remember right she was rated about 3 or 4 as a sophomore and committed to Baylor. Then she reopened commitment and slid down the rankings a bit. I don't think she was ever going to leave the state of Texas.

She hasn’t if she had this board would’ve been in shambles with “Kellie can’t recruit” posters with her being a big target for the ‘23 class😂😂

This reopening of a commitment when you've never committed might not bold well for her anyway. I like the kid and her game, but to me it is a lot of attention seeking/look at me that I don't honestly think our coaching staff may want to deal with.

Evidently were not in very good situation with her anyway if she needs to add schools to her list. I can understand her dumping schools where there were coaching changes, but why did she need to add more? Sounds like a player that is totally dissatisfied with what she has seen to this point. That would not only seem to be us , but Maryland and others as well.

Orrr, she might be wanting a particular school to get interested in her and it hasn't happened yet.

Guessing this is part of her problem. Likely been told by numerous coaches already she’s not a guard at the next level. Great if she has some handles, but teams are going to need her to rebound and play interior defense. Not run the offense.

Am I wrong or is '23 an important/very important recruiting year for us? We signed just the one player for '22, correct--another shooter in the mold, somewhat, of Darby and Puckett. Why only one? No room on roster? Snagging the Miss. State transfer was nice--a good get--but we need some blue-chip, four-year talent.

The 2022—2023 year ….. We have 7 out of 14 players that will be seniors or graduate players !

For this next year we will be heavy with veteran players . But our juniors ( Darby and Marta ) will have extra years after their senior years are over.
And Powell has already stated she wants to play another year plus other seniors have a Covid year if they want it ? This portal recruiting has become an annual event for Kellie the last three years ! With eight scholarships available for 2023 , I am sure the portal will continue to be an option for us ! Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️

I could be wrong but i also think the the 2023 class must be a very good class ? After this year coming up Horston,Jackson,Key,Walker,Emily,Jess will move on. With that said the Portal is open 24/7 but do want to live in the portal ?

Players want to go where the program are winners. After a sweet sixteen visit this year ! The first time to go this far for over six years ! And this is Kellie’s third year….. If next year is more successful……look out ! The recruiting between Justine , and now Powell and Jackson, is starting to pick up ! Everyone knows it and it’s there for all to see. Even the Nay Sayers cannot argue this point . But they will still try and bring up any negative new or old news ? It’s just not in them to have a positive thought about the Lady Vols , their players , or their coaches. . Anything they say , or clothes they wear , food they eat , or even how they breathe is not acceptable ? All years are important in recruiting…. Kellie’s first real year of recruiting was a top fifteen class , and next years Justine is a top 11 recruit plus Powell and Jackson! 2023 has us offering 6 of the top 13 ranked players! And eleven more in the top fifty ! There are probably others that we are not aware of but time will tell ? We have offered 8 in 2024 and 4 in 2025 ! I say this just to show how far out we are recruiting and these coaches are very secretive about recruiting! No one really knows the extent of the recruiting process? My suggestion is to stay tuned and come along for a good ride ! 😁

Are we interested in Jordy Griggs?

Just watched a little video on her, and she looks good. She's big and strong and was comfortable dribbling the length of the court. Seems like she enjoys playing defense, too. Tennessee has has great luck with players out of that area.

We had great success with The Meeks. Why not The Jords?

You're not wrong. To Kellie's credit, hitting the portal put them in great shape for next season, but after they likely lose Jackson, Horston, and Key... ouch. The freshman this year were, fine, but I don't see any future All-Americans in that group.

Even with her recent portal pickups, Kellie really needs to hit a homerun with the 23 class...
