2025 Recruiting

We ALL hope to see Nyla living her childhood dream of being a Tennessee Lady Vol. No doubt she'd make an immediate impact on the program, and be much loved and appreciated by the community and Lady Vol fans all over the world. (Yes, the WORLD. I've known many a lover of all things Lady Vol Basketball who followed them from afar -- they'd have LOVED Nyla!)

I'm not giving up hope, no matter who else is added to her long list of suitors. She loved Tennessee first, and so I feel like we have as good a chance as anyone. Brooks would be perfectly suited to Caldwell's system.

Is anyone concerned about the lack of recruiting activity? There have been very few 25 and 26 offers and no visitors like other programs have had with unofficials. This is not meant to be negative but other programs have been very active. We also aren't at BCAT Hoops this week which is a premier event for instate kids such as Fields and Hassell. CKC admitted in one of her interviews she hasn't had to receuit before.

You really don't think they're recruiting right now? Just because it's not publicized does not mean they're not recruiting. CKC has been recruiting since she has been coaching. Stop being negative the LV program is in good hands and will be alright.

Don't worry asking for my post to be deleted. I was trying to have a normal conversation on here.

In him I trust. No way he's dropping the ball on high school recruiting. It's why he was hired. Even if it were the case that CKC doesn't exactly know what's she doing on this level, he does. Not his first rodeo.

I don’t know his history, but has he ever been able to get the any truly elite recruits?

If you trust him, I trust him. I really enjoyed his “meet the coaches” video. He spoke about mentoring the players, and idk that all coaches grasp the subtle difference in teaching, coaching, and mentoring. I think he’s gonna be great.

Thanks, but now I feel pressure to be right about him! I don't think he turned down that Assoc Coach gig at Miss St to come here and let any grass grow under his feet. I feel assured the whole staff is 1000% locked in on being the ones who restored the glory. Doesn't mean they will, but I'd be surprised if it was for lack of trying.

I've seen Aaliyah Crump listed. Then not listed. And, I haven't seen a commitment.
I don't like our chances with the other Aaliyah - Miss Chavez, and hopefully my instincts are wrong, but I'm not particularly comfortable with the Nyla Brooks situation.
So, for now, Miss Crump is very high on my list. And, not just by default, but because she is a stand alone prospect, of which there aren't that many. I wouldn't call her a one-through-five, but she's so long, smooth, and athletic with great handles, so she can bring the ball up court, score at the basket. And the way she hits that prototype jumper from everywhere and from so many angles - whether straight up, on the run, or stepping back. She even has a sweet, off-balance, turnaround jumper (like Rickea!).

She is a defensive talent with great hand speed, and an uncanny shot blocker.
And, have you seen those passes?! She is physically and intangibly brilliant!
And, she's on the rise, having climbed to a #4 ranking from 13 in recent months.
I have no idea if we, or she is interested. Do you? Again, we offered, right?
And, I surely cannot imagine any sane reason we'd rescind.

So, what's up with Miss Aaliyah Crump? What are the odds?
Cheers.
