2025 Recruiting

Coach Caldwell and SEC recruiters Coach Lazo and Coach Tubner are not going to take advice from this forum on who and how to recruit.

They also don’t need advice from outsiders their recruiting plan worked in one month.

No one player is worth paying for to get their commitment. Scoring 40 points in an AAU game is irrelevant to being a good college player. Seeing how difficult the transition for Caitlin Clark to the WNBA has been should teach people about projecting immediate success prior to a player reaching the next level whether it’s college to the pros or high school to college.

This is a recruiting thread, it's purpose is literally to discuss and speculate about Lady Vol recruiting.

Paying recruits is now part of college sports. Railing against it is silly and pointless.

Aaliyah Chavez is the top ranked player in the 2025 class (and considered to be one of the best prospects in years). If you think that the Tennessee coaching staff is not salivating over the possibility of signing her, you are deluded.

This is a recruiting thread, I’ve spoken plenty about the success of our most recent recruiting.

Why don’t you speak directly about the immediate success of the current staff?

I don’t suspect they are salivating over any one player. They are recruiting multiple prospects.

Unlike the casual fan on this forum, people like myself and others who have played sports realize it’s simple math that the top player entering the next level doesn’t always end their career on top. There are 20 more players that will have the same impact. That is why the 1st round of all professional drafts have approximately 20 picks and not just 5.

You and any other fanatic, double poster, or whomever else constantly dwelling on any prospect that visits another school or commits elsewhere is not only deluded but living in a fantasy.

Based on the month of April the odds are very high CKC will sign multiple HS players… and they wouldn’t need approval another fact.

Because it’s the 2025 thread, and have they signed anyone in the 2025 class? If not, can we talk about success yet?

They are on their own timeline as are other coaches/programs.. again they don’t have to put out information about visits and recruits just to please fanatics.

When is the last time Tennessee received a commitment from a High School player? How long has Coach Caldwell been the Head Coach?

I’ll answer the question I asked about High School recruiting since I’m sure it doesn’t fit the agenda here, Tennessee’s last High School commitment was announced during April 2023.

Coach Caldwell hire became official April 7, 2024.

After the recent coaching change, the lone High School signee Kaniya Boyd remained at UT for her redshirt freshman season under Coach Caldwell.

CKC first portal recruiting class added a 4th signee on May 13, 2024.

High School early signing period is November 13,2024???

I think we were at least watching her when the other coaching staff was here. Not really a 2025 could play next season. She has some offers haven't heard where she might be headed.

she may be headed to UCONN that is where she prefers from sources.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about Nyla used that line while committed to Lady Vols and still does. Coach Sam still uses it on some of her post still while at Mississippi State. The Lady Vols don't use it anymore so since Nyla and Coach Sam both use it there's cause for concern.

"stand on business" means to take care of your responsibilities or put your money where your mouth is. You get done what needs to be done and follow through, similar to the term "taking care of business.

If anybody thinks there is a single high school player that any successful coach believes they must sign that says a lot about how you think and nothing about recruiting decisions.

Cults are built that way not teams lol.

Exactly, getting the top players is virtually certain to make you nationally relevant. It’s exceptionally true since w9men don’t jump to the pros after a year. The idea above that you can’t tell about a players until they get to the next level must be a surprise to the most successful coaches.

I’ve yet to see one opposing view that is even credible. Just bickering. Constantly shifting facts and talking off the wall.

As I’ve said, the current staff came in one month put their heads down and executed their recruiting plan.
That is a fact. They earned that credit.

I would support any Tennessee staff that accomplished that task..

Focusing on individual players, and singling them out as a “must” get is like I said a cult mentality.

The one or two posters and their extra profile(s) that are seemingly taking offense are likely the same posters on social media talking directly to players, parents, and coaches.

Sports aren’t that deep. Stay in your lane.

If you don't recruit them, you will never sign them.
