Jaida Civil to Tennessee!!!

[Volfan2012]

The four-star guard is ranked No. 32 in the 2025 class, though she steadily climbed the rankings over the last year. She had received offers from South Carolina and a handful of SEC schools.

]Paraphrased from the KNS report.] Getting one from USC, not bad at all.

I see a lot better player than number 32 in this player. I see someone that may be the best player we have recruited thus far. Just thinking about her and Cooper on the floor together with Mia Pauldo is something I live to see.

This is just the start.
Tennessee is the most renowned WBB program of all-time.

To get back on top it took making a change. The right decision that was made by the AD has turned into a home-run hire in Coach Caldwell and her staff.

Currently, Tennessee is a top 3-5 WBB destination for elite players in less than a year under Coach Caldwell and she has proven to those players that she is a top tier coach. She has won recruiting battles against Oklahoma, Notre Dame, LSU, South Carolina, Duke, North Carolina, UCONN, etc. in just 7 months! This is unheard of.
Tennessee WBB has arguably the #1 high school recruiting class following a Top 10 transfer portal class in the spring.
GBO!

I’m at a loss for words honestly! Such a great feeling!!!

 

[Majors]

Do we dare even think we could land another before it's all said and done for this year? Good gooley-mooley! This staff is HOT!

Maybe Hurst

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Spearman, Whitehorn, Cooper, Latham, Boyd, Mya Pauldo, Mia Pauldo, Prawl, Civil, Wynn, and hopefully Hurst. Add a quick post and were ready to play next season.

I hope look for a true post and not one of the stretch fours. I know that’s not Kim’s style but ain’t a championship getting won without a true center. Cause when shots aren’t falling outside we need someone that just play bully ball down low.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Land Hurst and get two transfers for front
court and we have a deep squad.

 

[chuckiepoo]

I step away for a work meeting and come back to this!!

KIM CALDWELL! STOP IT!!

 

[Putbacks]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas….

 

[newladyvolfan]

SCar is getting so loaded it's almost a deterrant. When Fulwiley doesn't start . . .

What if Fulwiley leaves???

 

[LadyVol1908]

What if Fulwiley leaves???

Omg, please give it a break for a day or 2.

LSU won without a center

LSU won without a center

LSU won with a Center of Attention….

LSU won with a Center of Attention….

Brilliant!

LSU won without a center

I'd take a clone of Spearman she can guard centers. Got called for a few phantom fouls by those terrible Refs after playing some great defense.

LSU won without a center

Angel was undersized but she mad up for it by being a monster on the glass and being relentless in the post. And that game was an outlier because Iowa was 1 through 5 with guards and got demolished down low. Even when they played SC they got cooked on the boards.

I think that is the implication of the KNS story, She was one of those players who flew under the radar and then blew everyone away when she finally did get some evaluative looks.

I haven't posted much with this week's commitments because I feel the exact same. It's really taking me back to the excitement with those 2017 commitments when we landed Evina Westbrook, Anastasia Hayes, Rennia Davis, and Kasi Kushkituah. Obviously, that class had mixed results, but I feel way more optimistic about this group (and this staff).

 

[madtownvol]

Great get. They really cooking!

This first year recruiting success is a game changer.

 

[Lucy]

On paper reminds me of Jordy! Any more knowledgeable thoughts on that comparison?

Did they win a championship or not? You said you can't win one without a center, and I proved you wrong. Our bigs have to play big I agree, but you can win without one. I think Latham plays bigger than her size. We need others to do the same.

 

[ttharp]

What a hire Lazo was guy can recruit amazing.

Yep! Gabe and Roman just needed the platform and they’re delivering.

 

[newladyvolfan]

Are we happy that we got the LAMBO's and we got of the stupid uniform rules!!!!!!

 

[tennparker3]

We have 2-3 times the NIL money which helps. Sam got us a lot on a lot of finalists lists but we lost out on a few simply because we couldn't meet a NIL offer from another school. Now we can. But we also have a system that is appealing to a lot of players and obviously a coaching staff that resonates with recruits, even in a short amount of time. A lot of things going for us that I think a lot of people didn't expect... at least not right away. I certainly was a skeptic at least with how fast Kim and staff could have success at HS recruiting level. They have knocked it out of the park so far!
