Four of those five are back after next season as well. So with Boyd coming in if Cooper were to transfer here were going to be quite through with wing players. Maybe add another point guard. Then your just looking at post players and we are in on four or five very good ones. Two of them and we are in very good shape for the coming seasons.

Agreed 💯

I think we have a better team this coming year than we had last year. That doesn't mean we'll have a better record in the SEC as most of the teams have really improved and we'll have some real battles. I am confident this will be the best three point shooting team in the last decade of Lady Vol teams. I think this will be one of our better free throw shooting teams as well. If I see a weakness in the team it is overall rebounding as we'll have several players that have not been big rebounders in the past. We hope that Key is capable of her past form and look to Puckett and Striplin to be vastly improved on the boards. Right now the best rebounder on the team is Jill.

Finding someone to replace what Jackson brings will be the biggest challenge for 2024. Edwards and Cooper would be a huge start in doing that to a large degree.

Joyce Edwards would be the perfect replacement!

like rickea and jill? i'm also excited about Jewel, Destinee, and Ace.

With the log jam of 15 plus players on lady vols roster last year. Ace was better off coming in as a softmore. Ace more likly would have gotten fewer mins on rocky top as a freshmen. Now the creek is clearing up for Ace. Anyone who lives by a creek who has see it turn muddy after down pour knows what i am talking about. Big rain takes a stream of water a day or so to clear where you can see the bottom.

LVols highly renowned recruiting coordinator Coach Sam is in-person scouting the U19 WB World Championship tourney in Spain. Word is to stay tune this weekend🍊‼🎦‼️🍿



This following the highly successful foreign tour with the 2023-2024 team & Rickea/Jewel representing team USA in the AmeriCup games to secure a silver medal.
Tennessee is thriving right now with momentum unseen since the LVols legendary reign atop of WCBB.

How serious is Edwards looking at TN? Or are we speculating/hoping? I haven’t seen much with TN from her

Have you seen much from anything other than fans of any team? She doesn't plan on releasing a top 5 list til later this summer. I read that somewhere and it may be delayed with her making the USA19 team and then trying for for the 3x3 team.

I think everyone assumes she is SCs and she might be... But i've also heard she might be looking to get out of SC (this very well could change) and i know she wants a team that focuses on family and academics as well. If that's the case i know a couple of teams she can immediately take off the list 😂

"Momentum unseen since our legendary reign." Really? That's a fairly grandiose claim. We beat two cupcakes in the NCAA and then lost--per usual--to the first good team we faced in the tournament. Last year we won, what, a meager one or two games against good competition. Our high-school recruiting remains bad. I'm not sure where you see all this roaring momentum. Successful foreign tour? We played two teams that would lose to three-quarters of the college teams in America. Your optimism is commendable, but as with many, a bit untethered to reality. When we /actually/ show we're a national contender again, I'll be optimistic, too, but I'll wait on proof.

And our "highly renowed" recruiting coordinator? Hmmmm....."Once renowed" might comport more with the facts of our recruiting the last four years.....

Who are you referencing coming? My gut says De Silva and Cooper commit soon
Click to expand...

I believe it’s a hs recruit or two on the brink of committing and/or taking an official visiting to campus soon.
One of the coaches did recently comment on the changes made to the recruiting period rules in July so that could’ve been a hint to delays in the process a bit and had a direct impact with TN especially with the busy summer schedule.
I thought they were done with the portal for this off-season but if there’s interest from both sides it has been kept quiet which isn’t a bad thing.

No, I don’t have that particular inside information.
I follow recruiting some but I don’t work my way close enough to the program to ask for or receive that kind of info until an official announcement is made.
I just make my predictions based on what comes out to the public.
I support who signs with Tennessee. I agree with you that it’s without a doubt a fantasy when some people try to give the indication that the LVols haven’t had remarkable success recruiting.

The momentum running through Tennessee Athletics is incredible! Rickea and Jewel competing with team USA is just the start for a potential historic LVol WBB season.
A message has been sent loud and clear.. the footage of Rickea making highlight reels w/ pro moves in the AmeriCup games and against the post player from UCONN was the icing on the cake! Jewel made dagger three pointers and sharp passes. Scary times otw in Knoxville🍊!

Did you get a commitment Coach Sam??? Or did we get burned like the girl from N.C. did us. Quite a costly trip to come back empty handed..
