Lady Vols are done with the portal.

Dauda- going to South Carolina
Barker- more than likely West Coast… maybe throw in Miami
Dom. - Kentucky, Arkansas, Florida, Penn State or Nebraska

Yeah I think this is a mistake of Caldwell for cooling down in the transfer portal. She should had got 1 more post player just in case of injuries of Jillian or Lazaria in the regular season...

That could had added depth because there are still 2 empty slots she could had filled. Caldwell will be successful in Tennessee, but this was definitely a mistake and it seems she still has not learned from that game against Virginia Tech...

I agree with you Coach Caldwell has made no mistake.

The only mistake here is the VN naysayers that pushed their agenda from Day 1 hoping to see this DW hire sabotaged.

They wanted CKC and her staff to struggle with recruiting but in one month they went on a recruiting blitz!

Pay attention to the likes (only 1 or 2 likes at the most) from the double posters pushing their agenda against Coach Caldwell and it’s obvious they are desperate to try to stop the momentum in any way.

They are talking about adding the 4th leading scorer in these post players that are nothing more than depth pieces.

It’s over with for the fanatics.

CKC and her staff have put together on of the most athletic and explosive rosters in WBB.

CKC got Marshall in one season to the NCAA for the first time in like 20 years.
Beat a SEC school in Florida in her first season.

GBO🍊!

Keyboard coaches know nothing. Plain and simple. The same people criticizing KC couldn't even coach little league basketball but have the IQ and knowledge to tell a D1 coach how to do their job. Extremely laughable

Coach Caldwell and her elite SEC assistants/recruiters went on a recruiting blitz for a month signing a former McDD All-American, Top #30 F, All-ACC freshman F, and former SEC FOY. Four P5 players with various accolades and starter experience in the ACC/SEC....

CKC is not done yet....

I agree she has tore the portal up for a first year replacement coach,,,but one things is noticeably missing to me...New High school recruits

This has been a non-focus for several years now and this "keyboard coach" knows one things for certain,,,Dynasties are built on "foundation players" and foundations players are not portal players.

example: we just had oneof the best portal players in history in Rickea Jackson,,,what was built off of her?

If more focus is not put on HS players and top 30 HS recruits,,,Coach Caldwell fill follow a path blazed by Holly and Kellie.

This is the first real adverse thing I have said about our new coach and I am totally in her corner to this point,,,and hope to stay fully in her corner,

For me to stay there, I have got to see some highly ranked 2025's, 2026's and 2027's start to commit
they are there and they want to come to TN (I know this!)
It's time to stop looking for band-aids and start investing in some Neosporin

I don’t think she was cooling down. Baylor’s coached in the WNBA and A’ja Wilson, KC, and Boston probably called and talked to Dauda after the game last night at Staley’s house. She did her best and just couldn’t get them. You win some and you don’t win some. Even Dawn misses out on really damn good players to other programs. You just have to get 4 HS players in the top 40 every year to be in the Top 10.

Okay that makes sense... Was it confirmed that Dauda visited Tennessee or was that just hearsay?!?

What's laughable is not understanding the nature of the forum you're posting on. No one here thinks they're telling the coach how to do their job. Nor making any difference whatsoever in the real world. It's an internet sports fan forum so posters give opinions, whether backed by coaching experience and knowledge or not. That's all.

Then state them as opinions, instead of facts. I'm not saying you, I'm saying everyone, including me. We all get tore up and post stupid crap from time to time.

It's a given that it's opinion since it's a sports fan opinion board. Some of ya'll take this stuff way too seriously and some think it actually has an impact on the real world. It doesn't.

Yeah once Caldwell starts winning basketball games in Tennessee, it will fix A lot of this. Many recruits and transfers doesn't really know Caldwell and how well she did in DII with Glenville State and DI with Marshall . Whitehorn wouldn't had committed to Tennessee if Shawn Poppie wanted her to stay, but instead he rubbed her the wrong way with him getting Mia Moore in the transfer portal. That was why it took Whithorn a long time for her to commit.

Ruby Whitehorn decision was between Baylor, Florida State, and Tennessee.

She left Clemson.

Who in the world would believe a coach from UT Chatt going to Clemson of all schools needing talent would not want a player of Ruby Whitehorn caliber to stay?

That is one of the most bogus rumors posted on VN.

Her decision took long because that is how she decided to handle it had nothing to do with another player.

And as already stated, four P5 players in one month signed by CKC also eliminates this “players don’t know who she is label”.

These players and parents are not influence in any way by message board discussions.
Coach Caldwell can recruit.. that is a fact.

Getting a couple top 25 HS recruits is pretty important still but with the portal like it is now getting a 30+ HS recruit isn’t that big a deal anymore. It looks like schools will soon be hiring players (1year/4 year contracts??) and maybe unlimited scholarships so who knows what it will look like in 3 or 4 years.
