Since ODO isn’t coming here I️ would love to see her end up at Stanford. She would excel in Tara’s offense.

Stanford is not on her list anymore. It's South Carolina, UCONN, FSU, Duke, and I think Georgia is on there even though I don't think she's visited.

Hamilton Heights vs Riverdale (Murfreesboro scrimmage)
First of all it was a round robin of teams scrimmages in two different gyms. After playing two other games (Riverdale) was set to scrimmage HH who had one other game against Blackman.

Riverdale has the Hayes sisters (UT offers) and HH has Massengille a UT verbal and Treasure Hunt a (UT offer). The game got off to a rough start as Massengill and Hayes (jr) got technicals called on both guarding (pushing) each other on two different occasions before the game was two minutes old! HH won but it was a good contest as both showed exhaustion from previous games.

Elizabeth Balogun was best player on the court! Good defense, nice three point shot, great athlete. Jaz is a good player but may need motivation at times. Kamilla is much improved and at 6'6" is already rated top ten 2020. Treasure disappears at times but already has more offers than I want to list. They could both be top five in 2020.

The Hayes sisters are good ball players. And both would be worth a scholarship. Both can shoot the 3 and Aisilyn jr. point.... gave Jaz as good as she got. Looking forward to watching them in the future! :clapping:

PS: Holly if you have not offered Kamilla Carodosa yet please do.... Treasure and Kamilla are just Sophomores and will only get better (stay after them)

Are you referencing Tara's old offense or her switch to the new one? I was having this very conversation about wanting to see ONO in Tara's new offense.

Thanks.... their web site does not mention an offer for Kamilla yet ? That’s good news... What if in 2020???

Treasure and Kamilla are both in top ten now (Hoopgurlz #3 and #10) and that will change in the next two years!!!

Both do have offers from Tennessee.

I show that they are now at #2 and #4 in Blue Star's rankings.

I watched them play two games last weekend in Murfreesboro. Kamilla has really improved since last year.... good touch around goal and last year it was more bricks than soft shots. She keeps the ball high and away from the munchkins. Our (Mercedes) doesn’t do this even now???

Treasure had a bad first game and sometimes seems to disappear. But she is a good athlete and will definitely improve. I think she may have grown an inch since last year ? Beautiful shot and a solid build that allows her to take advantage inside against smaller guards and withstand the hit when taking the ball to the goal.

The greatest thing about both... They are just Sophomores 🤔

Rokia Documbia from Hamilton Heights commits to Arkansas. I believe her Host family is from Arkansas?

There is a top 100 6’6” post that has not declared to any school. She is Stephanie Soares. She has to have some potential or she would not be on the top 100 list. I wonder if Holly has this young lady in her sight. This might be a good pick up.

Soares was home schooled and that has probably kept her off the radar a little. She would be a welcome addition to this class expect she will stay somewhere in Texas.

I think she ends up in a small institution like her siblings

She would be a great addition if we could convince her to visit and land her in the spring to add to the 2018 recruiting class. Losing a 6'6" and gaining a 6'6" would be huge!

Also the chance of having a 6'4"(KK), backed up by a 6'6" (Soares), and a 6'7" (Cardoso) would be insane.

KK would be a senior, Soares would be a Junior and Cardoso would be a Freshman

I know u weren't talking to me but who is my list of 2019 players I would target

Rickea Jackson- we're covered at the wing but she's a baller. Very athletic. If she's interested we can't say no

Aliyah Boston- Ranked as the 5th best post by PN. Expect her ranking to rise. I've heard she's interested and we're recruiting her. She's who I want in 2019.

Jayla Hemingway- She's a versatile wing from TN

Jordan Isaacs- versatile forward from GA

Francesca Belibi- Athletic forward with a lot of upside. And she can dunk.

Lanetta Williams- 6'3 TN native. Her game has improved every season. Versatile. And she has a twin who's 6'1

This is my short list of 2019 targets. Boston is the only one I've heard having mutual interest. I'm sure Holly and company are on it. I'd love a class of Jackson, Boston and Williams or Belibi. Belibi is only listed as 6'1 but she has hops and hits the glass.

These players aren't from my area geographically but these are the players I would go after for 2019 and 2020!

2019 Class:

PG-Aislynn Hayes 5'7 (sister of current Lady Vol Annie Hayes) It is something in their bloodline that I love and I think she gives us another smaller PG to go with the two bigger guards who will spend time at PG (Westbrook and Massengil)

W-Rickea Jackson 6'2" we missed out on DeCosta and I think Jackson makes up for that. She is a nightmare as she can do a lot of everything. She can defend and play down low or on the perimeter which continues with Holly's attempt to have interchangeable parts

P-Aliyah Boston 6'4" she reminds me of Tina Charles (I know we shouldn't compare UCONN players on this board but let's face it Tina was in college and still is a beast) She is very high on us as we are on her. Geno is also very high on her and she is from Massachusetts so to take her from out of his recruiting area would be huge.

F-Lanetta Williams 6'3"- Lanetta is a very good outside shooter for her size and she is a lefty. She could also potentially open the flood gates for us in the Memphis area where we haven't had much success in recruiting. (We need to keep the great Tennessee Talent in Tennessee similar to how the Texas talent seem to never leave Texas which is why it was so important to snag Zaay Green away from the state of Texas).

This would give us a class of 13 (should anyone not Transfer out) for the 2019 Season and the class would look like;

C-Harris 6'3" (Sr), G-Annie Hayes 5'7" (Jr), PG-Westbrook 6' (Jr), G/F-Davis 6'2" (Jr), C-KK 6'4" (Jr), G/F-Massengil 6' (Soph), G-Zaay Green 6' (Soph), F-Rae Burrell 6'1"(Soph), F-MiMi Collins 6'3" (Soph), PG-Ais. Hayes 5'7" (Fr), C-Boston 6'4"(Fr), G/F-Rickea Jackson 6'2"(Fr), F-Wiiliams 6'3" (Fr)

2020 Class

PG-Alsaia Hayes 5'7"- The 2nd Hayes sister joins the crew! She adds to our backcourt and probably wont play much her freshman year but wont the 2017 class leaves she'll see a lot more time her sophomore season.

W-Treasure Hunt 6'1"-She will continue our Hamilton Heights connection (Jaz Massengil) and add to what we have on the wings, also likely to see little time her freshman year but will see more time as the 2017 #1 class graduates and she is a sophomore.

P-Kamilla Cardoso 6'6"-She is a must get. She is also a Hamilton Heights player and will continue the success we would have been able to establish concerning recruits from there. She is still growing and is currently only a sophomore and ranked #3 in her class (which will more than likely be #1 her senior season). Will certainly see more time her freshman season than the other 2 in her class.

This would give us a class of 14 (should anyone not Transfer out) for the 2020 season and the class would look like;

G-Annie Hayes 5'7" (Sr), PG-Westbrook 6' (Sr), G/F-Davis 6'2" (Sr), C-KK 6'4" (Sr), G/F-Massengil 6' (Jr), G-Zaay Green 6' (Jr), F-Rae Burrell 6'1"(Jr), F-MiMi Collins 6'3" (Jr), PG-Ais. Hayes 5'7" (Soph), C-Boston 6'4"(Soph), G/F-Rickea Jackson 6'2"(Soph), F-Wiiliams 6'3" (Soph), PG-Al. Hayes 5'7" (Fr), F-Treasure Hunt 6'1" (Fr), C-Cardoso 6'6" (Fr)

Final Thought-I think we certainly see at least 3 Final 4's and 1 NC from the 2017-2020 classes and if I was a gambling man (which I'm not) I would say the Final 4's occur in 2018, 2019, and 2020 and we win it all in 2020. The 2017 class would leave with the Title they came to UT to accomplish and would in fact be responsible for returning the Lady Vols brand back to the Top where it should always be!

We finish this year in the Elite 8 (but I think we have the Talent this season to finish in the Final 4).

Sorry for the rambling. I hope this answered you question.

Some bad news Ododa to UConn.
Click to expand...

Meh 🤔 I remember when she said she didn’t want to play up north and in the cold lol... also I thought I read she wanted to do something in the medical field? Well if that was true then she picked the wrong school... Not saying that because UCONN is a dynasty in b-ball but medical school and warm weather aren’t something I think about when I think about UCONN. She will get playing time in the post and most of her challenges with post competition will come in practice and out of conference schedule. The AAC has been known more for its guards/wings....Good luck to her and hope she gets healthy soon!

Tennessee comes in fourth.

Does anyone question why 2 beats 4 recruits? I know they are ranked high but .... I remember Syracuse numbers ninety somethings making our high ranked AA look pretty bad! Just saying

Our last year number one class.... could we have stopped with Evina and Annie and still been number one class? I know it is Uconn but does two people make a class??? At least the teams with five recruits were rated above Uconn! To me four or five recruits make a class..... One or Two recruits??? NAW!! 🤔
