2024 Recruiting Thread

So as an aside, some poster on here has pushed Iowa State as a potential destination. Let me be clear anyone who would do that has never been to Iowa, particularly not in the winter. Godforsaken does not even begin to describe January in Iowa.
I think she would be great fit there looking at how she plays. She can shoot at 25 feet at a good clip. She has first step of Paige b. I've watched her since when she played against jaloni since they were in 4th grade. Dez has tried to get her play for family twice. She is great player. I just put my thought in that if you look at Kelly turning on weathers Hawk will not be recruited either. I may be wrong but I never said I knew it all.
 
If we (TN) have an elite kid (maybe both #1 ranked) right in our back yard then those should be the kids we fight for the most. You don't have to have all top 10 kids or the #1 ranked kid to have a successful program. All you need are the right pieces, diversity, different types of athletes (size, speed, shooters defenders etc).
In state kids who bleed orange and truly understand the culture and history at UT and what it means to be a lady vol and have wanted to be a lady vol their entire life may get discouraged or even snub Tennessee if they are not going to jump on them early.
Perfect example RHYNE HOWARD from Bradley Central-TN slow played her and she fell in love with Kentucky and TN missed out on one of the best players to ever come out of TN. I hate to see that keep happening, we need those players.... then they make it personal to come back and beat TN lol
Any one else feel this way?
What do you consider being a successful program?
 
In my opinion, a successful program is one that is run clean by a competent staff, that graduates all its student-athletes, rarely loses games to teams ranked below them and obliterates UNranked teams, and is at least highly competitive against teams ranked higher, occasionally getting upset victories — and who is never, ever, EVER considered a “fairly easy win” for ANY other program.
 
Everyone has a right to their opinion, however I think all the comments NOT related to the recruits need to be deleted from this thread and get back to discussing 2024 recriuts ONLY....... this is not the place to be attacking others and degrading someone's character
 
GIRLZ PREP REPORT: Ten of the Top Texas 2024

"Gwendlyn McGrew G the more I see her the more she continues to show me that the sky is the limit and when you look at her size, athletic ability and skill set, that in itself is intriguing but her BB-IQ is ahead of the game, she understands she can take over offensively at will. I first noticed her dropping the long ball a few months ago but she attacks ferociously and with power and now her ability to see the floor and make pinpoint passes add fuel to the fire."

Would love for Olivia to be a Lady Vol. With a coach doing a retweet, I would think an offer is upcoming or has been extended! Exciting.

Coach Sam retweeted this:



It's not possible to be not impressed with the Olson girl....She is top shelf....Just beyond the horizon, are lots and lots of talented girls. Hope we get more than our share.
 
If somehow we got Hawk and the Olson girl, to add with Justine in I believe her junior year, it might be too much for many of us to take....Need girls that know how to score, and most importantly, are willing to take the shot.
I agree.... 3 elite shooter that will fire away whew I wanna see it lol we know Justine is coming for sure and I feel Hawk would commit. That would be 2 of the 3

I know Madi would committ,,,right now,,,

but when a recruit keeps seeing offerings to others and not approaching her, they often begin to feel undervalued...IJS
