2026 recruiting



I know for sure some fans from a certain school right now I bet are pissed off lol.
That school in Baton Rouge fans been on social media all day trying to make her visit schedule based off her coming to Tennessee and South Carolina when they play LSU about them. Then boom lol!
To me, I just hope the player enjoys her visit.
GBO!

Coach Caldwell, Coach Tubner, and Coach Lazo have stepped on campus in 8 months and took a number one spot in recruiting in the SEC.
Top portal class in the SEC (four 2024 transfers) averaging double figures.
Top 2 high school recruiting class in 2025 #1 according to 247Sports and #2 according to ESPN.
This is routine for this elite recruiting staff.
GBO!

Routine?? Come on now.. Come back to reality.. Routine will be over the next ten years
 
What if this was our roster for next season if the 5 yr rule is allowed in time and we got these transfers? Do you think we have a shot at a National Championship?

1. S. Spencer
2. J. Spear
3. T. Darby/ or J. Hollingshed
4. T. Latson/or M. Fulwiley
5. R. Whitehorn
6. K. Wynn
7. L. Spearman
8. T. Cooper
9. A. Latham
10. A. Watkins
11. K. Boyd
12. M. Pauldo
13. M. Pauldo
14. J. Civil
15. D. Prawl

L. Hurst

Walk ons: Avery Strickland (ask her) and E. Darby

It looks like we would have to say no to Darby or J. Hollingshed

You’re doing a lot and that isn’t cute. Milaysia, Taniya, nor Ashlyn will be going anywhere nor has there been any indication that they will be. This bring unnecessary hate to our program like please stop that.

But I do think if the 5 year rule is implemented, if Jill wants to stay, you keep her. Another year in this system and I think she’ll be the Jillian we expected her to be. She’s defending very well, rebounding more aggressively, and has shown flashes offensively more than she has previously.

Samara/Kaniya/Pauldo/Edie
Talaysia/Kaiya/Pauldo
Ruby/Jada/Strickland
Zee/Latham/Prawl
Jill/Hurst

Obviously there’s a lot of versatility there but I would certainly consider both Samara and Jill if they wanted to return and it were an option. We’d be competing. No need to add ladies that haven’t in any way shown interest in leaving their programs much less in Tennessee.
 

Behind the scenes of SC LSU and even TX and others coaches do not want Lady Vols back because of the Oxygen it will demand and they know that certain big time recruits will relish in the moment of being the ones that bring Rockytop back to the Top of Ladies Basketball, will it be Coach Kim and her staff I think so but one for sure thing it will happen. In CHRIST Alone

Strickland should transfer and make room for a Transfer

None of these Recruits really know TN.. The last final four was in 2008... Most of these recruits were more 2006 or later... They know USC, Notre Dame, UConn, South Carolina, Iowa, LSU, Baylor, Duke, UCLA, Stanford, Ohio State
 
I’m talking about Caldwell lol

Facts!
Top portal class in the SEC (four elite transfers in 2024) in their 1st season at UT averaging double figures.
2025 Top 2 recruiting class in HS #1 according to 247Sports and #2 according to ESPN that includes elite prospects.
Let Coach Kim Caldwell cook.
GBO!

If she can land Kate Harpring and Big O who is on a visit right now and land 2 studs in the portal..Then i say see can cook.
 
TJ is made for Coach Caldwell's system....Add her with the other expected top recruits it may be too much for ladies basketball.....It would be unfair....

The games could come with a warning for their opponents..."It may be hazardous to your rankings/ health to play the Lady Vols!"
