Dee Alexander "shocked the world."

Dee Alexander "shocked the world."

After JuJu made her decision to attend USC and stay home, I honestly think you start seeing more of that, especially with NIL being the way it is now. Just my opinion!

I think so too! and, even if it hurts the Lady Vols, I think it’s very cool to see!

The recruiting blitz that Tennessee is about to go on will be legendary.
Top young coach in WBB.
2.3 million NIL collective.
Best young recruiter in the SEC Coach Lazo.
Best young post coach in the SEC Coach Tubner.

The news of 2025 players committing right now does not hurt Tennessee in any way. Some of the 2025 class top prospects have been engaging and congratulating both new successful SEC assistant coaches via social media.

Stay tuned!

You never fail to make me laugh.

Well if we do have that money now with the new coach, I think we can finally buy a couple of elite recruits that we missed out on in the past.

He's a little extra, for sure, but when I think about my own personal life, I have always found it much more enjoyable being around people who choose to go overboard in their optimism rather than being around people who are always trying to throw a wet blanket on life.

Keep on putting that super-charged positive energy out there, House! It's not hurting a thing for you to do that. Better to make people shake their heads and laugh than it is to make people feel sad and depressed. : )

Lets go!

I would tend to agree on this front, but then I think about their other post and how condescending they are and everything just goes out the window! love the optimism, not so much the poster!

 

[Coach Jumper]

Just curious. Do these women still have offers even though they are not recruits for the new coaching staff?

I know of one that still is strongly considering TN from the list,,and she's a "get"


@@@
BTW for any who might wonder...I usually pick out 2-3 threads and keep to them.
In a fury like now a new thread pops up every other day and to try to follow more can be over-taxing.
SO no matter how the convo tracks,,,I'll be here til this thread croaks,,,then on to the next one,,,then

Karoline Striplin enters the portal.

too slow for the new offense

 

[creekdipper]

Hate to see her go. All-out hustle and team player. Will be interesting to see how she does elsewhere.

I hate that she & her teammates didn't get to enjoy ruining SC's undefeated season and having that memory.

I could see her thriving in MTSU system. I think they used our hometown girl Courtney Whitson very effectively.

Along w Alabama and Auburn for purposes of playing close to home, IMO MTSU is the next most likely. The Insels had to be impressed with her when we played them. She was the only bright spot. Karo would thrive in their system.

 

[creekdipper]

Being an Alabama native, could Karoline work in Curry's system?

(Sorry, glv. Was typing when you were posting above).

Given that her parents are both Auburn alumni, I have a hard time seeing her landing in T town lol.

Whis the one?

Her 1/2 inch vertical will be missed.

 

[creekdipper]

Just a thought: For any of our Lady Vol athletes who have represented our program well and dedicated themselves to the university, let's wish them well as they leave for other pursuits.

 

[Putbacks]

Striplin was raised very close to Troy. That might be a possibility.

True, but like others have said, if the fabulous Coach Johnnie Harris has a spot for her at Auburn, I'm sure Karoline's wonderful parents would be tickled to watch her play her final season at their alma mater. I'm in love with that idea and hope it happens. And Harris is a terrific coach. She's another one I would have supported wholeheartedly if she'd been tapped to coach the Lady Vols.

Yes I like Johnnie alot too. She has definitely earned her opportunity. But I also like Kristy Curry. And Wes Moore. And Rick Insel. And Teri Moren. All the possibilities for Karo mentioned here today are actually awesome coaches. Any of which I would have loved to welcome here if it had worked out.
