2025 Recruiting

[lvocd]

Has anything changed with Hurst wanting to play both volleyball and basketball? I read she wasn't offered by Tennessee volleyball, which would suggest she won't land here (if she still wants to try to do both).

Eve may have figured Hurst's primary sport is likely basketball and is simply not expending a lot of energy/budget dollars to get a player who she may be able to add to the roster after she signs with Kim.

Just a theory. I have no idea whether she's good enough to play at the D1 level in both sports.

well Dee Alexander is the 1st player from the class of 2025 to be offered which makes her an elite prospect if we are offering so early

Frank Rock has a Lady Volunteers recruiting podcast on his House Of Orange You Tube page today in which he discusses 3 prospects coming in this weekend.

Back in the day, Tanya Haave played for Pat and on the volleyball team.

Haave (gorgeous left-handed jump shot!) joined the volleyball team for a season as a 5th year after her basketball eligibility expired. Vonda Ward also played some volleyball during her senior year.

Yes. I forgot about Vonda. Didn’t she get into boxing?

Actually, TH played some games Pat didn’t know about.

1984. Back in the day is right. Checked her wiki page and she was an all American in basketball. Couldn’t find anything regarding her volleyball career at UT other than her roster slot.

Yes, a tremendous athlete and coach.

Yes…23-1 record (17 KO’s) and multiple world heavyweight titles. She retired in 2010. (All that according to Wikipedia.) Needless to say, she was very invested—not just dabbling in it.

I would have paid good money to see her beat the hell out of ole Heidi Gillingham (aka the 6’-10” Vandy stiff).

This is it for us Civil, Prawl, Knox and Hurst look to be the ones that will either be Lady Vols or we will settle for the twins as the class. Of course huge class if we get two of these players to go with the twins.

I'll take one of Knox or Prawl, Hurst as a homestate add on, and the twins. That would be the best hs recruiting class this program has seen in like forever. Anything extra would be dream state stuff. Call me crazy, but I believe it's going to happen.

The best high school backcourt in the country Twinbackcourt elite PG Mia Pauldo LV commit wins Camp MVP at renowned Wooten Camp in front of ESPN and McDonald All-American analysts. The recruiting success that Coach Caldwell, Coach Lazo, and Coach Tubner have built since arriving in Knoxville this past spring is outstanding. GBO!
