Especially if she wins, going anther way
Sometimes the choice not to choose is within itself, a choice

Jumper i have a honest question....
Since you say you know Madi Hawk what do you think the hold up is with TN? I love the kid I have watched film on her and she looks like a Justine kinda kid with more spunk. Not as big as Justine but definitely a TOP TN kid for sure,cmaybe the #1 SG in TN
Is it they think Madi will immediately commit and maybe she isn't their 1st choice and they want to wait to see of they get others or do you think they are just NOT interested.?
I personally just don't see how we have a TOP kid (statewise and even top 50 nationally per class) and we are not pursuing her HOT and HEAVY. I swear it baffles me
I need some insite

I have to admit, it baffles me too.

when I look at the talent that has come out of TN in the last few years,,,you could arguably put together a top 10 team with the one's that got away

Have we offered any 2024 kids? If not perhaps a policy thing?
How quick is Madi? I know she is a shooter for sure. Heard Kellie say we are an aggressive team. Can she keep up with fast guards. No criticism meant here at all. I would love her to be a Lady Vol!

The main thing that I noticed is we are offering half of the top ten players now ! Before , it seemed like we didn’t even bother ? Plus this is THREE years out and we already have seven offers plus some unofficial visits already! People that monitor recruiting ( like myself) have to see the difference in the recruiting that’s going on this last year ! JMO

ATTENTION ALL KNOXVILLE (Lady Vol recruiting followers).

Come see Jaloni Cambridge !

Tournament at Farragut high school !
Friday 12/17/21 …. Ensworth (Jaloni) plays Farragut at 7:00 PM

Saturday 12/18/21 …. Ensworth (Jaloni ) plays Bearden at 4:00 PM !

I was just looking for potential lady vol recruits and when/where to see them in person. I will catch her closer to me but thought you Knoxville folks might make that trip ? Doesn’t look too far ? She is currently #2 ranked by HG .

Do you see we have any chance at all to get CAMBRIDGE?? I love this kids game but I personally feel she is looking to greener pastures. This is a kid that is use to winning on every level so I see her choosing UCONN or SC
What is your thoughts?
I dont personally know any 2024 kids but I think we could get the HAWK (she seems to be the main topic on this forum lol )kid pretty easy, seems TN is her top choice from what i hear however she hasn't been offered that I know of. What are your thoughts on her as well?? Anyone got opinions here ??

How many offers does Hawk have? I found this article on her, and here is a quote, "This success at such a young age has brought attention to many collegiate programs. Hawk currently holds a Division I over from Murray State University, while also talking to the University of Tennessee, Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Michigan and other Division I programs." What does talking mean? If she was really that great of a player, why haven't these other programs offered? Has she reached out to the programs or have they contacted her? It also seems like Tennessee is recruiting elite talent in that class at this point in 23 and 24. Does Hawk have that X factor with Speed, Athleticism, the ability to rebound out of the 2-4 spots as well as the physicality to compete in the SEC? That seems to be the type of players Kellie is after in both 23 and 24 as well as really good point guards and top-ranked post players. Tennessee Women's Basketball Recruiting - Page 3 of 4 - WBB Blog

BTW, I have never seen her play, so I am not downplaying this player at all. I am just curious if she has those aspects to her game.

Yeah I'm not sure honestly 😕 I was wondering myself but I know she is ranked by a few different sites and really good write up on her by bluestar 30 she is ranked #13 nationally. All I can find is she is 5'10. She has some nice highlight film out there on her social media sites but I haven't saw her in person either.
I was just asking bc she has been said to be a top SG in that class she can play the 1-3 and she is literally right in our back yard .. if I can find anything out ill post on here

As I've said before, she's the most important recruit of the Kellie era. I don't know what her chances are, but others here seem to think it's slim to none -- which sounds insane to me to believe she can't make significant inroads on an IN STATE recruit at this point of the game. If that's the case she really is a crappy recruiter, and I'm not sure why you would expect her to recruit the top players nationally when she can't even get the top players locally.

But, you know, she can't FORCE these kids to like Tennessee...

I'm just honestly wondering what kids are seeing or not seeing at TN that make them choose another school. Growing up for me anyway TN was the epitome of women's basketball and anyone and everyone wanted to be a lady vol now not so much not so much at all.
WHY
