LV 2019 Recruiting Thread

The #1 player of 2019 Samantha Brunelle is announcing her commitment April 15. I'm assuming Tennessee has no shot....

As of August 2017 her schools of interest were:

Kentucky
Maryland
Virginia
Ucon
Usc-JR
Texas
Wake Forrest
NC State
Notre Dame
Louisville
Duke
 
I wouldn't be counting your chickens if I were you....

Annie was recruited with the intent that the sisters would be offered too . If this is not true then please tell us the truth ! There were other schools in the SEC that made the same offer... Or so I remember reading something like that in the newspaper. That being said ..... There could be changes that could change the plan of the sisters playing together in college like they did in high school .

1. Annie could transfer ?
2. Any of the sisters may decide to play somewhere else ?
3. Holly could be fired and all of our players transfer to South Carolina ?

You might name some other scenarios. I was just answering a post that may have forgotten the commitment to the Hayes family. If a chicken is not to be counted ..... that maybe better since our recruit numbers are getting crowded in 2019 & 20 because there are two Hayes sisters that are coming ! Or maybe not ??? 🤔

I didn't see it but definitely agree totally. She is not going to help as a freshman unless some huge light comes on this season in high school. I watched her play an entire game on youtube and she was not expending a lot of energy on the court either on defense or offense. She will have to get a lot more aggressive and expend a lot more energy and effort to even get on the court in college.

In her interview Saunders acknowledged that she needs to strengthen and diversify her game. She is committed to do so. As the daughter of a 6’6” career Marine Gunnery Sergeant, the determination and toughness needed to improve her game should be there. Also, her doctor says her growth plates are still open, which means she could add more inches to her height before she arrives at TN.

And there is a fourth Hayes sister in the Class of 2022.

To my knowledge the sisters have given no verbal commitment that they would follow Anastasia to Tennessee...

You are correct !

Is it a requirement? She has another year to play! Does the NCAA have certain dates for signing? Maybe she will verbal when she signs? Maybe the eight grader needs to verbal with number 3 sister? Maybe she is waiting on the new rankings for players to come out ? Since Texas A&M and Ols Miss and Florida offered all four sisters..... the other three are all going to the other three different schools so they can play against each other instead of together??

But since none of the sisters has not verbaled yet .....
This is an obvious sign ! 😈

I would not be worried about Saunders "lack of hustle" in one game you watched on YouTube if I were you. I watched Rennia Davis up close and in person at her last state championship game and came away thinking she would NEVER be a player for Tn..

Shows just
how wrong you can be with snap judgements.

You are ridiculously overthinking this. There is a very real possibility we might have a different head coach a year from now. Their father appears to be a loose cannon. To consider the sisters locks to go to Tennessee at this point is premature....

Agree about the coaching situation!
Agree about the father!
Agree about the locks!

I like following recruiting. We signed four (#1 ) class 2017..... four next year (top 5) 2018 .... the OP was saying we gonna get a good class in 2019 ( 5 recruits).... With a limit of fifteen , you cannot sign four recruits every year ! Just saying! When you throw in the Hayes sisters promise... There is a limit of recruits for 2019 & 20!

There is uncertainty surrounding this program. That is probably why Fulmer will grant some kind of extension? I was just pointing out that our recruiting is approaching its limits! Without any recruits DUE to leave until 2021..... we have :
4 in 2017
4 in 2018
2 in 2019 ( Aisylnn , Saunders )
10 total (so far )

5 more scholarships left for 2019 & 20!!!! Considering The other Hayes sister promised in 20.... That leaves only four spots available for 2019 & 20!!!
Just pointing out how I think 🤔 Ridiculously
 
What we better be looking for in 2019 is post players. I know we have Saunders but she is gonna need time. We need a bigtime post one of the top players in the class.
I don't know about signing all the Hayes sisters we really don't need that many of their type of player. I'm not saying it won't happen just wonder if that is smart recruiting.

2019 Would be best time for Grad transfer or Junior college. That year KK is a junior and Collins a Sophomore. And Harris would be a senior. One or two years would give us experience to help KK and whoever comes in as Freshmen in 19 & 20.
 
Kayla Overbeck 6’1” sophomore forward is transferring from Vandy to Southern Cal. I guess she is going home? She is from California !

It’s not smart recruiting...especially if they are all undersized guards (exaggerated 5’7), all with questionable outside shooting except one. Plus none of them are as highly rated as Annie was. Not saying they won’t make great support players but we are already stacked with “support” players. We need dominant guards...ELITE guards like Notre Dame, Texas and Texas A&M (Chennedy Carter) has. It’s been a while since we have had a truly “dynamic” or prolific scoring lead or combo guard especially one who can create their own shot AND CONSISTENTLY nail the three...Simmons is the last I can think of. If we could just clone Ogunbowale...lol:rock:
