[Mafiaboss]

Are these the rides to be used from the airport? That's cool as f***!

There’s a great story about Pat picking up Candace Parker at the Knoxville airport in I think it was a Dotson 280z type car.

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.

I love this for you (the optimism). Lol.

I also have a good feeling about this weekend.

 

[Coach Jumper]

First year elite Tennessee WBB coach Kim Caldwell just went Lambo mode for a big recruiting weekend I heard! After dominating the transfer portal and signing the best high school backcourt in the country word is LV high school recruiting is about to change the landscape of WBB.

I'm Smilin

Could be one after this weekend,,,stay tuned

When Candace got in the car, Pat grinned and said, “Let’s go” and proceeded to peel out, do a doughnut, and floor it down Alcoa Highway to campus.

Love it! This staff is such a vibe.

Pat always did have a lead foot!

Pat always did have a lead foot!

And that was not just part of the legend. I lived out Chapman Hwy back in the day and she lived in Seymour. She drove a massive black SUV and when you saw it coming you got the eff out of the way.

Wait. Either the Lady Vols no longer have the rule about recruits not being allowed to put on a real game uniform until they commit or ...

I've always liked that cool rule, but it certainly wouldn't be the end of the world if Caldwell decided to loosen up on that.

I'd probably poll present and as many past players as I could find and let them decide.

Or just go straight alpha and make the decision.

I had the same thought.

If the pic doesn’t signal a commitment, I’m okay with CKC loosening up and doing things her way. I’m all for the kids wearing the uniform to get the full experience.

Not sure that would be a "straight alpha" decision since the tradition is a point of pride for the players more than for the staff. As Pat always was wisely cognizant, it's about the players, not the coaches.

But, again, it woukdn't be the end of the world either way.

Personally, the more of the LV traditions the staff and team maintains, the better.

Cora says the no jersey until signing tradition is over. She thinks that’s a good thing.

I guess if there’s anytime to end it this visit is the time

I'm pretty sure recruits wore gameday jerseys when Holly was the coach.

As long as they never break the tradition of going to every single NCAA Tournament, I'm good.

That graduation rate thingie too!

Here’s proof of a HS recruit wearing the LV uniform on her (2018) official visit with Holly Warlick as HC - none other than the queen herself, Rickea Jackson.

Today isn’t the first day of a new tradition, folks.

If ever there was a player to break the rule for . . .

Funny thing is she didn’t commit this visit. But did 3 yrs later after a visit where she didn’t get to wear the jersey.

Rickea wasn’t the only player to wear the jersey on a visit.

 

[glv98]

Yes I’m sure Jordan Horston and Zia Cooke wore one on that same 2018 visit. They visited together
