Lady Vols Recruiting Info

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!! 🤔

I would love to see Tennessee and Uconn play next year with only freshman and sophomores. Uconn had the # 3 class last year.

Maybe they factor in coaching. just kidding!
 
She got overlooked by other stars on last years team, don’t think that will happen this year. Post is a hard position to play when you depend on other players to get you the ball.

I’ve been posting since she committed that thing young lady will contribute. Losing Russell and Nared will be big but this young lady has a nose for the ball and once she gets into college conditioning program you will see her provide mismatches in the post. She could always rebound by using the proper boxing out technique (she isn’t going to jump out the gym but her reach/arms are long), then she could take defenders off the dribble from the high post and hit jumpers from the free throw line in, NOW she is hitting shots all over the court and intimating the fastbreak with an outlet and sprinting to the other end or she is dribbling the ball out of traffic efficiently.

Being a player on a top team I am really hoping she gets some post season all American recognition. It would be cool to add a couple more McD All- Americans or Jordan Brand Classic All Americans to this year’s group.

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

Her mom played for Texas so I would think if she wanted to go to Texas, she would have already committed. Doesn’t Texas already have the top post in the Class of 2018?

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.

Had a chase to sit and watch this young lady in this Last game Caitlin Clark class of 2020 West Des Moines, IA 5-11 Point Guard. She is the real deal i just hope Holly and her staff i taking notes and watching.

I don’t suppose there is a broadcast? I think they played Hamilton Heights vs(Va.) but did not hear how it went??? Be sure and give us a report.

Hamilton Heights played two games at Fairfax Va. won one and lost one...and that is their only loss this year! I think Mlindsay was going to game ??? Website does not give the team played but just PopeVI tournament???

MiMi did a great job on 6'6" Cardosa

thanks.....it let me watch the first few minutes and then a sign up screen!

Treasure had a good start with a three and a steal. The announcers had a terrible time pronouncing Balogun....
I did too until one of the coaches pronounced it to me.
The thing I like about Hamilton Heights is their playing in so many road games and different gyms. Anybody who has played knows the difference in your gym and being on the road.

I will catch them in the Music City Classic January 13-14-15. This area in in my back yard. The schedule is not out yet but I was told it would be in a few days... Winder Barrow from Ga. has Ododa playing with them! And Seygan Robins playing with Mercer is going to Louisville.
And Riverdale with our Hayes sisters plus HH with Jasmine.....Hamilton Heights looks like they have added some girs from The Dominican Republic.. I want to see what they look like.. Thanks again

No Problem, Hamilton Heights was just in DC this past weekend as well and played really well unfortunately I couldn't make it to those games. They added a 6'2" girl from Dominican Republic that is nice and will be a top 100 prospect for sure in the 2019 class.
