Great player at a position of need. This is also big for Holly. No Pat? Just go get the #1 player in the country.

This is the huge commitment that we have been needing I expect at least two or three of the other top players to come to Tennessee now.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Yes!!!

Congratulations to Holly. It's good to have a Mercedes. Welcome Ms. Russell!

Admittedly, I was initially skeptical of the coaching promotion. Not a slight in any sense, simply a recognition of the standard of excellence that had been established. As someone who possibly overestimates the value of recruiting, this quite the accomplishment. Great job by all.

Can she guard a wide reciever?

Welcome to Rocky Top, Mercedes! We are so proud to have you join the Lady Vol family. I see some National Titles in your future

I watched her announcement today and she said she chose TN over UL because playing for the Lady Vols has always been her dream, that UT is her dream school, has followed the program since she was young, has a great relationship with the coaches etc. She also mentioned the huge fan base in playing a role in her decision, and said that she just felt like this is where she's supposed to be.

Awesome news! Critical get! Final four player!

welcome to The Summitt Miss Mercedes. :rock:

 

[VOLMEB]

I noticed in the article posted that she said she's going to try and bring a couple more players with her. Here's to hoping she gets Kaela to join her here. Jannah, Mercedes and Kaela would be an awesome 2013 class.
