I saw when she said that, the problem is these recruits are making decisions now, so they are going off what they see. By the time it changes, they will be off the board so it won’t matter. Nobody played over 26 mins, that’s not ideal for a top player. Juju and Kiki played 40 and 32 mins, these are the type of top players I’m talking about.

Juju and Kiki wouldn’t and COULDNT play 30-40 minutes with full court press like we do… so your point is invalid

Yes they can, in AAU I’ve played a similar style of pressing and I would either play the whole game or close to it. Just leave the players in the game and let them adjust.

So the twins aren’t top recruits? Some of you are just negative for no reason!!!! She’s had 5 months to build relationships with these kids. I mean Kellie couldn’t recruit top recruits and she had 5 years and played a regular style of basketball and still couldn’t recruit to save her life. She’s been here 5 months not even a full season. I think we’ll be okay. Now if she doesn’t secure any top recruits in 2026 then maybe we’re in trouble but cmon she’s had 5 months.

I made my statement, now I’ve always said the 2025 class would tell me if things would be successful or not and I haven’t changed my opinion yet. Even if they win games this year it won’t matter, if she keeps taking players out every 90 seconds the top players won’t come. Now we may get the next crop and be ok but that won’t be enough for Championships.

and the only reason why South Carolina and UConn can get away with low minutes is because they have won CHAMPIONSHIPS AND PUT players in the WNBA...

Sobeit. I'm confident that we'll be able to get the tools that we need even without players who can't stand the idea of playing with hard enough effort on the court that they'll need to refresh on the bench throughout the game. If the system that's going to get us back to winning is a no-go for them, then I'd rather win without them than lose with them...

And looking at the talent we were able to get in over the offseason, I'm not too worried about the top end of our teams anyway. And there is a flip side also to losing some recruits to the system for this reason: we'll also win and keep some solid basketball players on our team who can feel secure knowing that even if they aren't top 6-7 on the team, they'll still see solid minutes per game, able to prove themselves in gametime as a player who should get even more minutes, rather than getting stuck on the bench at a lot of other Power conference schools. Those girls are much less likely to transfer away when the transition to SEC ball proves challenging for them, because the minutes are distributed amongst the top 12 players anyway.

In fact, let me ask you directly, newladyvolfan. What do you think about the roster that the coaching staff built for this season? Those players, including those who thought about leaving but chose to stay, had to be recruited. And it seems like we're doing quite well on that front.

LADY VOLS needed 7 players in this class and they have 2... Getting 4-5 Transfers per season is for low end teams.. YOU NEED Top 30 Players from HS

If we can continue to get a top ten and a top twenty in each class, we can fill the balance through the portal for a couple of years. Winning will be key these first few years.

Bummer on Grace. It’s tough to pull them away from Mulkey.

It wasn’t hard with Rickea Jackson and Ruby Whitehorn.
And I know it’s hard for people to hold the same standard for other schools but last recruiting cycle LSU signed 1 high school player. Theirs was ranked in the 90s. Tennessee high school signee was ranked in the 30s.
