Now let's get the cross county rival star at Bradley next season.

 

[Lucy]

I knew this signing would bring you back!!!!

So glad to have him back!
GT kept me from losing my mind one Dec. 23rd when I had about 50 gifts left to wrap and dinner for 20 to prepare!

The roster construction as it sits for next season is…. ELITE. Everything is literally falling into place. I still say grab 1 or 2 6’3+ mobile bigs at least one of whom is a rising sophomore and we’re on track for Coach Kim and Company to make runs for years to come. This is insane to see after looking at the roster from the viewpoint of what we saw us having this year and beyond back in like February. Danny did a wonderful job with the hire and she has only proved him right thus far. Love it!

I remember that! Turned to some Jackson Brown and Dan Fogelberg.

Yup. We’re literally one or two talented post players away from being final four contenders in year TWO.

Back in March, things were looking awful with the departure of Rickea, and some still insisted that we keep the last coach because she had a verbal from a 2025 and 2027 prospect.

What a difference a few months makes

Our targets for 2026 are aiming to meet that need. At least two really talented, versatile forwards I know we are making a big push for.

6’4” Olivia Vukosa. “Big O” can do it all, versatile, handles, shoots. Perfect player for our new system.

And

6’3” Oliviyah Edwards “Big Oh” another extremely talented, versatile, ultra-athletic forward.

 

[VolBall09]

How fun would it be to have two players that happen to be “Big O” and “Big Oh?”

The Big O(h)s would love to see them hoop together lol

And

Love it!

I do think Big O has a connection to the Pauldo Twins. I’ve seen the twins’ dad shout her out on X.

Can we get the 2 "big o(h) 'Livs?

"Big Oh!" Oliviyah Edwards.
"Big O" Olivia Vukosa

Thanks! Getting them mixed up already lol

Yep. Vukosa was on the Double Dynasty team with the twins and Prawl.

 

[VolBall09]

Come on down and join the party Big O!

 

[VolBall09]

Big Oh follows all the Pauldo’s as well. Say what you want but they’re doing work and they haven’t even played a game yet. They want that natty and they’re trying to get a squad together.

 

[Volfan1000]

He really has a great track record for WBB coaching hires at his respective stops. Three for three hiring the right coach at the right time so far.

I believe he hired Coach Jack at Buffalo now at Syracuse and Coach Abe at UCF now UGA. Even though I don’t think they will do great at their P4 schools he hired them at Buffalo and UCF to great success. Hopefully the same happens for Kim.

I believe that White hired Johnny Dawkins at Central Florida.

Oliviyah Edwards.
Olivia Vukosa

You can’t spell either Oliviyah or Olivia without “Vol!”

So if we land them both opposing teams would go “oh, oh”.

 

[VolBall09]

Or that’s what we yell on post to post passes. Why is your glass half empty Lucy? It’s a great day to be a Lady Vol fan.

 

[Ladyvols4ever!]

So if we land them both opposing teams would go “oh, oh”.

Or, "Uh oh! It's Oh Oh!"

Your judging quickness by a photo??? Really..

Psssst...... she meant she is Caucasian.

 

[VolBalls33]

This class plus all the returnees, UT should have a top 15 team next season. And all will be athletic!! Very exciting, GBO!!
