Horston is Lady Vols' best recruiter

[kamoshika]

Tennessee Lady Vols basketball has become title contender once again with the addition of five highly touted newcomers, four of them transfers out of the portal. Coach Kellie Harper bolstered her recruiting prowess with the hires of assistants Samantha Williams and Joy McCorvey in April of 2021. But Harper has had a top recruiter in her program since she took the job in 2019: Jordan Horston.

"If you don’t know, I’m the best recruiter on the team," the senior guard told Knox News. "I am, just hands down. Anybody will say it." She's not wrong, either. Four players, Harper and McCorvey all confirmed that Horston is the best recruiter on the team, and her genuine personality and humor stands out.

...McCorvey said Horston will be a great coach and recruiter one day if she chooses. Her love for the program is obvious to everyone, and her demeanor sells it. "Her presence, her command when she walks in the room – she's in the room. You know who she is," McCorvey said. "It's just who she is. It's her personality, it's her charisma, it's her. She just commands that presence. And she is, she's a phenomenal recruiter."

She reminded me myself. When I got recruited from Athens Greece after finishing Secondary school in London. I brought in 3 players. 7' 0 fit, 6'8 and a female volleyball player

I've said for a long time Jordan Horston was the foundational re-recruit (and re- and re-) for the Harper era. First Kellie had to convince her to stay after Holly, who originally recruited JH, was gone. Then, over a very rocky next two years, I'm pretty sure Harper re-recruited her many times on many levels. JH was obviously frustrated at not being able to find her role nor fulfill her potential early in her career, must have considered transfer at time. Harper's ability to guide JH (and apparently her Mom) through those choppy waters paid off and JH was really starting to blossom when she got hurt. Now, freed from so much pressure by the scoring ability of Jackson and the handling ability of Franklin, the sky is the limit for Jordan.

JH simply could not become another heralded recruit who never developed. That terrible Holly trend had to be reversed for the Harper era to take off. JH seems like the type person who once the loyalty is earned, it never goes away. So nice to see her energy and emotion channeled in a productive way. I hope she and RJ enjoy the hell out of this year.

Sadly, this is probably accurate. Horston should be collecting Williams' and McCorvey's salaries...

SADLY,after a too brief respite,we are subjected to more of your acrimonious comments. This board does not need your constant denigration of all things Kellie and Lady Vol,but we will bear it.

It's something normal. Players always recruits players
