LADY VOLS INK TWO HOOPSTERS
Cait McMahan and Nicci Moats will wear the Lady Vol uniform next year


Nov. 10, 2005



Knoxville, Tenn. -- University of Tennessee Lady Volunteer Basketball Coach Pat Summitt confirmed today that she had received signed scholarship papers from Cait McMahan and Nicci Moats.

The NCAA early signing period began on Wed., Nov. 9.

"We are very excited to have both Cait and Nicci sign with the University of Tennessee Lady Vols," said Summitt. "They are the only players we will sign this year and both will be an excellent fit and complement the players on our roster."

McMahan, a 5'6" point guard from nearby Heritage High School in Maryville, Tenn., signed her letter-of-intent at school Wednesday morning. Moats, a 6'2" forward from Lord Botetourt High School in Daleville, Va., inked her scholarship papers that same afternoon in a ceremony at the LBHS library.

This past summer, McMahan was a member of the 2005 USA Youth Development Festival White Team that earned a silver medal. She paced all 2005 Festival participants for assists (3.6 apg.) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.25), while averaging 9.6 ppg.

McMahan was named to USA Today's list of top juniors in 2005. She was recognized as a Street & Smith's All-America in 2005 and honorable mention in 2004. Additionally, she was a finalist for Tennessee's Miss Basketball in 2004 and 2005 and All-State in 2003, 2004 and 2005. A two-time district and region MVP in 2004 and 2005, she has been a catalyst for the Lady Mountaineers since her rookie season.

During her career at Heritage, she has compiled 2,322 points, 618 rebounds and 360 assists in three seasons. As a junior in 2004-05, McMahan averaged 21.7 ppg, 7.0 rpg, 5.0 apg. and 3.1 spg. During her sophomore season, she averaged 22.0 ppg, 5.2 apg, 5.0 rpg. and 3.3 spg. In 2002-03, as a freshman, she compiled impressive numbers as well, and averaged 21.5 ppg, 5.7 apg, 4.5 rpg. and 3.5 spg. As a junior, she broke the HHS single-game scoring mark a swishing the nets for a career high of 40 points twice.

"We're excited that Cait chose to stay at home and play for the University of Tennessee," said Summitt. "She is a great point guard package - her toughness, her leadership skills, her up-tempo approach and a 'refuse to lose' attitude."



Nicci Moats with familiy and coaches.
Moats is entering her fourth season as a starter at Lord Botetourt H.S. after first playing varsity basketball as an eighth grader at Roanoke Valley Christian. Already this season, she has tacked on Street & Smith's honorable-mention All-American honors, just as she did in 2003 and 2004.

As a junior, she averaged 16.1 points and 10.9 rebounds, earning first-team All-Timesland and first-team All-Group AA honors. In 2005, she led Botetourt to a 27-2 record and the VHSL Group AA championship game in March where the Cavaliers lost to Spotswood HS. In 2004-05, she was named First Team All-State, Region III Player of the Year, All-Metro and All-Metro Player of the Year. Moats has recorded career highs of 32 points, 21 rebounds, 10 blocked shots and five assists.

"Nicci is a composed and skilled player who can step into the three-four or five-spot on the floor and be comfortable and effective," said Summitt. "She's got a great mid-range game and causes match-up problems because she can step out and shoot the three and extend the opponents' defense."

I think she might have been asking about the fact that Summit has changed her mind and decided that she will sign another player in this class. Maybe even two she said. She is looking at a number of Junior College guards who can step in and help immediately. I have not seen the names of these players anywhere, so I guess we will have to wait for some info to come out.

Thanks for the info on those other 2 but I knew about them. Moats sounds like solid player. Can't wait to see her in action.

But, therickbol was right. I wanted to know if anybody had a clue on the juco transfers since that is soo unusual for Pat. But, hey, we got Gatewood to thank for that :whistling:

For next year's class, we already have Sidney Smallbone and Anjie Bjorklund committed. Both are awesome shooters and many think that Bjorklund will be the next Taurasi as far as talent. Let's just hope we can land Maya Moore and Kayla Pederson. That would give us 4 of the top 5 for next year. And the other one of the 5 is considering UT as well.

BTW, Moore and Pederson are either heavy leans to UT, or silents.
