2025 Recruiting

[newladyvolfan]

I wouldn’t be mad about it. In this day and age with the portal you can almost guarantee you’re going to lose some.

Especially if we practice as hard as we do. That just isn’t going to be for everyone and Kim isn’t going to coddle them.

Kim has not lost players before..and the only player that she has lost is a player that is crazy in the head at Marshall.

 

[Mafiaboss]

I don't see Laren being able to play both sports cause volleyball is into half of basketball season. I hope she goes Tennessee and basketball

I think Kim will help make it work.

Kim has not coached at the P4 level. I do very much believe she’ll have a good retention rate but players at this level tend to transfer at a much high rate than DII and mid-major players. It’s just part of the game.

Agree. Rare not to lose at least one or two a year. The LVs have always had an above average retention rate but I wouldn't blame the coach necessarily if it happened. Grass greener and all.

Wasn’t Striplin the only transfer out?

Wasn’t Striplin the only transfer out?

I believe so. Last yr there was Justine, and was Marta last yr or the yr before? LVs have kept turnover pretty darn low since the portal began.

 

[Ladyvols4ever!]

That's 2 off the board today. I think 9 players left.

I think Suarez went when Pissott and Miles did. Saunders was the year before them.

She’s said she knows she’s always recruiting the players she has.

 

[Vols14!]

Deniya Prawl. Signed and sealed! Go Lady Vols!

Have the Twins put their John Hancock on the dotted line yet?

Hurst is a two-sport standout who was named the Player of the Year in Tennessee for volleyball for the second straight season in 2023-24. Don't be surprised to see Hurst attempt to play both sports, at least for a period of time during her career. She’s such a talented prospect that time becomes limited to get in the type of individual skill work that she’ll receive in college. When Hurst gets a chance to receive that on a daily basis, expect her game to take another step. Her talent, length, and upside all align with that happening sooner rather than later once she arrives on her future college campus. With the way the game is evolving, having Hurst as a fourth basketball handling option and perimeter defender makes a lot of sense.


Maybe she will choose us she has a lot of upside potential. Has a really nice perimeter shot.

This concerns me about our chances if she’s truly inclined to play 2 sports. Unless there is some unknown, she isn’t being recruited to play Volleyball at TN but did seem to be recruited by the NC State and Clemson VB coaches…. Could be between them if she really is committed to playing two sports.

Both Deniya and Mia named to the Naismith HS Player of the Year Watch list.

Ya know some on here don’t find Mia elite though.

SHE IS ELITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[newladyvolfan]

Any word on Civil????

 

[Coach Jumper]

Both Deniya and Mia named to the Naismith HS Player of the Year Watch list.

Ya know some on here don’t find Mia elite though.

And for those who think Mia'Mya's size is too small...consider how that 5'8"guard we played yesterday tore through our press and scored 25 yesterday

 

[VolBall09]

Somfai to Stanford pleases me very much. Geno losing his touch.

 

[newladyvolfan]

I have a feeling Civil is going to stay in the Florida area…. Like UCF or Miami. I wouldn’t be surprised if she goes to UCF. I hope I am wrong….. I think she would be amazing for us.

Ranking the 12 top players with development potential across classes

When looking at a player's future potential, ranks across the 2025, 2026 and 2027 recruiting classes looks different. How this experiment places the best future college and professional women's players.

Dont agree on this list or the order… doesn’t make sense to be honest. however, it’s good to see several Lady Vols top targets on this list.

Big O
Edwards
Harpring
Smith
Hall- we reoffered right?

Until folks stopping taking these dumb lists serious by these bias media outlets this is the product you’ll get.

It is just nonsense to rank a player #15 in their own class as a Top 12 player in all classes.

That’s why so few people even interact with their posts on social media. It’s laughable.

Your habit of constantly minimizing and ridiculing other peoples' thoughts and opinions is annoying, at best, and rude, at worst. I think you often make good points, but you'd be better received if you would maybe be a little less dismissive. Just sayin'.
