OSU has 3 players TN recruited on their bench

[Amb3096]

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

She had no intention of ever coming to Tennessee to begin with. Tennessee had no chance with Crystal.

I'm curious about Nina Davis...did the LVs recruit her? If they didn't give her the time of day, that would be a major blunder. Of course, I can see why they might want to pass on a slender 5'11 PF, but KMR clearly saw something there.

Class is in order for this one.

Do you know WHY they didn't come here?

I'll give a clue with initials.

CHW:crazy:

It does not come as a surprise that Holly is in need of some serious recruiting lessons. After Russell, how many post players has she convinced to become Lady Vols? For three years that has been a team need. We could likely fill TBA with players turned off by Holly.

We'll know more in April. If she hasn't got two or three players ready to sign we will again be waiting and watching which is not good. I suspect if any of the Georgia girls are serious about Tennessee they will be ready to sign in April.

Let us also remember that we didn't sign anybody in the 2016 class and no matter who we sign now is not going to be the usual Tennessee class.

What Holly and team has to do in April is sign players for 2016 and 2017. Preferably jucos for 2016 plus Harris and some of the elite of the 2017 class. Let us see if she can get it done.

Elite 8: "in shambles" and the program is a train wreck!

Go Holly and the Lady Vols! Keep playing hard. Has been a lot of fun. The program is just fine, IMO.

 

[VollyParton]

The fan base is kind of a train wreck! Get behind this team - they can beat Cuse again!!

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.

I agree need a get a juco post player and someone who his ready to play from day one.

If we can get Kamera Harris to sign during the spring, I think we can survive next season. Now we MUST sign a super 2017 class. Maya Dodson, KK, Anastasia Hayes, Makayla Coombs and another Elite post player. Reynolds and Carter will be leaving after next season. Hayes and Coombs would be to excellent replacements. We really need to sign Christyn Williams out of the 2018 class from the state of Arkansas! She is going to be special. A big guard that will be a match up nightmare. Also Charli Collier out of the 2018 class, she is the #1 player and at 6'4", she and KK would dominate the front court. If we get to the Final Four, I think it would be a recruiting boost.

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.

I bet you were calling for Pat to be fired in 1997 when she had the temerity to lose 10 games.

Stuff like this happens to every coach occasionally. She got them together when it mattered. If they beat Syracuse tomorrow, a new entry on the Final Four banner goes up, and they don't put an asterisk underneath telling how many games you lost. Here, take a look:

The 1997 team lost 10 and the 1998 team lost none, but they look the same other than the year.

Didn't they make the final four in 2008 as well??..

 

[Slydell]

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.

Late to this particular thread, but how did those recruits help OSU in the tourney? And, who's watching at home while the LV's are playing?

Yeah and won it. Hopefully that pic is pre-08

Back then I was a fairly new Lady Vol fan so I didn't know any better. I watched that documentary awhile back to understand that 97 team and their accomplishments getting to the NC game and winning. Parallel seasons to say the least.

I have no connection to the University of Tennessee nor Holly Warlick so I'm not wearing orange colored glasses. I was calling it like I seen it. CHW was awful this past season now she has the team Rockin' & Rollin' so trust me I've backed off a lot since this NCAA tourney.

I only want the best for the team! I'm happy right now so I might as well roll with Holly because she's the coach and she ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

GCHW & GLVs!
