Can you guess the 3 players?

Holly recruited all 3. One of them we had in our back pocket up and until the Ohio State coach snatched her away. 2016 recruitment went from bad to worse not getting those players.

Here are some hints.

1. A recruit from Illinois

2. An ex team mate of Diamond Deshields

3. An ex SEC player

I imagine all 3 will be watching the game tonight cheering their future team onto victory?

The Lady Vols should have an incentive to win the game with that thought alone.

They have Linnae Harper transfer for Kentucky that visited us. Then there is Stephanie Mavunga who was at NC, and Sierra Calhoun who I think we recruited and she went to Duke. I think we also recruited Mitchell.

Don't hold your breath waiting.

It's game day attempting for some levity.

This post season is like no other. I'm not nervous and have a don't care attitude if they lose.

Why? You won't have to hold your breath for this answer.

Coach Holly Warlick. She has taken all the fun out of cheering for the Lady Vols. If her team loses maybe she's one step closer out the door. If her team wins I'm happy but saddened the Holly will still retain her job.

Now back to the original question do you know who the 3 players I'm referring to? :)

Close but no cigar.

You got two right, though.

The other was the biggest let down for recruiting a 2016 player. She was on Tennessee's wish list for so long I was certain she would become a Lady Vol.

McCoy is not there yet she has signed with them though. We couldn't close the deal on anyone. Remember Destiny Slocum, Cierra Johnson, Holmes and Joyner. I could keep going. Holly can't recruit.

Bingo!

Tori McCoy is the other recruit.

And double bingo for Holly can't recruit.

Knowing how Holly gives interviews? That's probably why we have zero recruits for 2016.

Go lady vols! I hope they win because winning fixes everything and it will carry over into next year and recruiting. Maybe it will keep this team together as well. Go Holly and the lady vols! Just win baby!!!

One thing in 2017 the geography of the recruits is more favorable. If she can't haul in three or four top 25 players when they are mostly right here in the area it will really demonstrate she has no recruiting ability. I think if we don't sign two or three in April for the 2017 class and a couple for 2016 were in trouble.

I'm on the fence about Holly. If she should stay or go. But sometimes a coach just can't push the right buttons. If they somehow get to a final four. Does that fix everything? Do the fans back off Holly? Does recruiting improve? I'm just not sure.

This is one of the most talented basketball teams in the country. They should have dominated their schedule and played ND and USC to the wire and beat MS State.

If Holly doesn't pull in a good juco post or forward during the spring semester she should be let go. Not replacing Moore and Graves is going to hurt substantially. We will not be as good a team. This program is going to be a shambles.

Lets be clear joyner holmes as a texas lean from the begining. lets keep in mind notre dame could not even get her to visit. We did that. and Destiny Slocum, Cierra Johnson we not even considering Tennessee at all. and tori mccoy went to were her friends. One bad year does not mean she can't recruit check the roster its filled with 7 MCdonalds all americans and she had to recruit diamond to come as well. Now I do agree that we need to sign 2 post players this year and have a good 2017 recruiting class. but what kills me is ppl continue to find soemthing wrong first it was she can't win games now she is doing that and you still find something else to talk about. please

Coach HW, shouldn't you be more focused on game tonight then defending a program in shambles on a fanboard. And oh yeah, lets be clear: the program in a train wreck and you are responsible for it.

Sweet 16 = "in shambles"

Elite 8 will be "train wreck"

and Holly is/will be responsible for it!

Exactly why we got rid of Cuonzo!

Most losses in program history in a season = Shambles
Losses to Alabama and Miss St. = Train Wreck

Responsible Person = Person in-charge

Yeah this "season" was a train wreck but this "program", as you said, is NOT in shambles. It is in the sweet sixteen again!

Basketball is a tournament sport and we're in the sweet sixteen and possibly elite 8. That's not a train wreck to me. Just my opinion as that is yours.

She'll be here next season unless she steps down. I was as mad as any about the season but I'm going to support Holly and the Lady Vols because I'm excited about lady vol basketball again and proud of what they have accomplished.

THIS!!! I heard on the AAU circuit that Mitchell was a heavy Tennessee lean before her dad got the job at OSU....Holly's fault though!

Tori McCoy was a heavy Tennessee lean as well and we see how that "combo package" with her sister panned out.

I'm waiting to see what Holly does with the 2017 class before I ride her off as a bad recruiter.

Dangerfield Imo was a major recruiting blunder. We should never let a player ranked that high leave the state.
