Would love a couple rim protectors, couple elite forwards and 2-3 elite guards Skinner and Enriquez could fill 2 of the guards needs as I love shooters.
Adebanjo went to Georgia. Coulibaly is visiting yesterday. Esmeralda haven't heard anything about her since in the beginning. Skinner is supposed to be visiting here and Alabama. Fatima Janneh is supposed to be visiting here and Oklahoma.

  • Addy Brown (F, Iowa State, 6'2", Jr.)~11.9–13.6 PPG, 8.8 RPG, 5.3 APG. Versatile forward with strong rebounding and playmaking; adds size and all-around skills (missed time with injury but high upside).

  • Justice Carlton (F, Texas, 6'1", So.)8.5 PPG, 4.1 RPG in limited minutes (~19 MPG). Key bench contributor for back-to-back Final Four teams; All-SEC Tournament performer with athleticism and upside as she earns more minutes.

  • Madison St. Rose (G, Princeton, 5'10", Sr.)15.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG, 2.2 APG; 47.9% FG. Efficient scorer with one year left; solid all-around guard from Ivy League.

  • Kaylene Smikle (G, Maryland, ~6'0", Jr./Sr.)Career ~17.2 PPG, 4.5 RPG. Proven scorer and shooter (two-time All-Big Ten); missed most of last season with injury but has high-level experience when healthy.

Addy Brown committed forgot which Big Ten school it was. McMiller is not committed everybody staying away from her except Auburn and Florida. Forbes was once linked with Tennessee by Paige Dauer nothing since. Carlton not committed anywhere. Merkle not committed. Madison St Rose may be committing to Duke. Tilda Trygger visited UCLA nothing other than that reported. Smikle nothing yet. Maccktoon nothing.

Honestly don't think any of those will be Lady Vols. Forbes is only one ever been mentioned and nothing lately.

Was expecting some new additions but guess it is slowing down or Lady Vols have no money( not sure this is the reason as DW does not want to be proven wrong so with the men spending close to 20 million, DW should be funneling some to Lady Vols). That is a problem with her system as you need 2 full 5 woman rotations plus 2-3 backups and both rotations must be almost equal in talent so you cannot be cheap on any rotation or it will not work. With the regular rotation plan like most teams, you only need about 7-8 quality players. Your starting 5 should be a lot better.
