2025 Recruiting

Dang. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm beginning to feel a a bit of a "look what you messed around and missed out on" kinda vibe from Nyla. If in fact she feels that way, I can't be mad. It would definitely suck to be a kid who'd been so excited to commit to playing somewhere and then have the head coach you loved let go...

I get that. Completely and without judgement regarding any future decisions.

But I keep hoping she's just doing her best to give everyone else a fair shake on second look but eventually finds her first love was the real deal and comes on back home. Being invited to be a Tennessee Lady Vol is an honor and a privilege that I hope both Nyla and Finley eventually embrace and re-commit to. Fans will surely love them for decades to come.
 
We need a top ten high school class three or four players will be fine. Hopefully one will be Nyla plenty of time to see where that goes. She won't find another system that fits her game more than what were playing here next season. Actually it fits her game way better than what the previous coaching staff was playing.
 
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.
Respectfully, you are clueless on how the Women’s basketball works and the ins and outs of recruiting.

Lady Vols without signing Barker or Dauda… need 6!!! It would have helped to balance out the classes if we got those two… now we have lock in 6 players in the Top 40 and that’s unrealistic. CKC has an uphill battle now… and will likely have to deep in the portal next year. Sources are saying Latson is coming out next season.

Nyla’s family could be a headache… I would probably take UConn’s men’s head coaches advice

We need six players not all high schoolers. Three or four would be fine and the rest out of next years portal.

I believe the same thing was said of Jordan Horston's Mom, Malika....And look how that turned out

Her family is fine.
Uncle Chauncey and Poppa Willie are both invested and caring of their overachieving young baller,,,just as I would be

And u need to make the new staff put in the work for u, so I have no problem with her taking other visits.
indeed
I think they are working with her, but taking visits is part of it. Hope she visits us again and it is the last visit.
But are they?...Players like Nyla and the future Finley are equal to high school prom dates...The real suitors know they have to work for such a "get"

And sometimes they don't work hard enough for the "get" and some nerd gets up the nerve to approach them and they end up dancing with the nerd...When they would have much rather gone with the hot-guy


The hot-guy is so sure of themself that they make one phone call, leave a message and call back the day before the prom and expect the queen to drool,,,while the nerd(s) make 2-3 calls a week and lets the queen know how much they want to dance with her

Just a thought
