2025 Recruiting

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'.
Comes across as a paranoid conspiracy theorist to me. Just like in their 4-5 or how ever many other accounts that got banned. I lost count.

I have to admit, they have modified their posting profile to some extent. I forget what they were before @House|RockyTop, but some of the current posts are closer to earth. They can still come out of left field, though.

Yea the first profile lived to call everyone NegaVols and ramble about Vols Twitter.
 
1000%!

We know why they like to veer off topic, because this successful recruiting does not fit their motive against the LV program.
This staff gave the fans as good a transfer portal class that you’ll ever see in WBB.
Five players. Five that started last season from ACC and SEC schools.
Each player since day 1 now contributing in an LV jersey and representing the program in a way that’s making former LVs proud.
But yet, to these same individuals that is not a topic of discussion.
Now to the 2025 recruiting, Tennessee according to some currently have a Top 2 recruiting class. As you stated, instead of focusing on this, anticipating the arrival of elite talent, and supporting these future LVs these posters frequently get off-topic and even worse constantly overhype and overvalue prospects going elsewhere that aren’t even as good and certainly not superior to the talent that has committed to Tennessee.
Why in the world will Tennessee pay a HS prospect $1 million dollars that might not ever even average 20 ppg on this level? Every year this generational label gets thrown around and the player does not meet that expectation because it’s unrealistic.
If any of the three HS prospects committed to Tennessee had done so with another program, then and only then would those folks be on here talking about their abilities.
It’s clear as day that it’s an agenda.
People veer off topic because there is no new information at the current time and they are a little bored. No need for paranoia.
 
Jackson (Tn) South Side plays Caldwell's style of basketball. Jaidynn Askins, 6'0", athletic, scores at all levels. Murray State commit but no report of her signing yet. Might be missing a good one.
With Somfai going to Stanford, they're currently sitting at #2 behind LSU. We're at #3. If we land Hurst and/or Civil we may reclaim that spot. If we get both, do we challenge #1?

No one pays attention to them… it’s ran by an aau team

They are beginning to call the first high school recruiting class in the Coach Caldwell era at Tennessee “special”!

Mia Pauldo had the best summer of any player in the 2025 class. Has moved up in the rankings and looks to complete her HS career in the Top 10. Analysts are calling her the best true PG in the class.

Deniya Prawl is the best scorer at the wing position to come out of HS that I’ve seen since former LV elite wing Rickea Jackson.

Prawl is a complete basketball player and is a Top 10 prospect according to 247sports where she is ranked the #6 player in the 2025 class. I’ve been watching film recently and with the ability to score mid-range, from 3pt range, and ability to finish at the rim at an elite level one name comes to mind when watching Prawl on the floor “the female version of Kevin Durant”!

Mya Pauldo is a Top 50 prospect that is a lot better than her ranking and deserves a fair evaluation by recruiting services. Her ability to create her own offense and facilitate is impressive. Defensively is where Mya excels. She is a tough and gritty defensive player.
The LV fans that love Talaysia Cooper ability on defense are going to see it duplicated by Mya the full length of the court.

South Carolina will lose two players to the transfer portal I bet.

hopefully Fulwiley is one of them….. she would kill it in Lady Vols system. Same with Watkins.

This year, I think we have uniquely greater potential to flip a commitment than most schools have.

IF our new coach and new system prove successful on the court--the two legitimate unknowns for recruits, and probably the most effective arguments being wielded by negative recruiters--recruits will then have positive incentives to reconsider Tennessee. (As an aside, success on the court might also generate more NIL resources, especially if the election results generate a fresh optimism about the economy.)

Testimonies to the positive team culture abound on social media. The players not only love and support each other, new players were quickly embraced and assimilated into the family.

If a flip-able recruit's reconsideration includes an unofficial visit, then the intangibles of the quality of education, the campus and athletic facilities, and Knoxville itself, are certainly not going to dis-incentivize anyone from choosing to become a Lady Vol.

Wouldn’t touch Watkins with a 10’ pole after her issue but I would not be surprised to see her transfer.
