glad she picked the lesser of two evils
Great Pickup for Rutgers. Go down to Arkansas and take good talent away from the ACC & SEC. IMHO Big loss for the Lady Vols.
Their fans disagree. They actually started Carter as the PG over Massengale last game and also have Tucker so apparently they didn't "need" her.Great Pickup for Rutgers. Go down to Arkansas and take good talent away from the ACC & SEC. IMHO Big loss for the Lady Vols.
And conversely, Tenenssee's coaching staff disagrees given that they actively recruited her and were there to the end.Their fans disagree. They actually started Carter as the PG over Massengale last game and also have Tucker so apparently they didn't "need" her.
Not to mention April Sykes, right?It was like that last year too, Rutgers got 2 recruits from Georgia, and one from Mississippi. So the South has been good to us.
Not disagreeing there lol. But I do agree to an extend that they have 2 PG's - Massengale (2011), Carter (2012) and Tucker (2-guard) so they could have easily used her. But now they are focused on trying to land Canada, Caldwell or Mitchell. Plus there are several lower rated guards they are after too. I'm sure they feel they will land at least a guard or 2 from 2014. They've already shown they can recruit the top 10 kids in the post-Pat era.And conversely, Tenenssee's coaching staff disagrees given that they actively recruited her and were there to the end.

Congrats to Rutgers. As for TN, she was known to be a long shot, but the hope was there any way. Thisvis not far below what TN expected. The staff hoped to sign 3 - 4 and avoid large classes, so mission accomplished. Moving forward now to 2014.

A very large net to get 3 players. I'm sure TN would have said yes to 2-3 more if they wanted to come.
Prefer not to.Not to mention April Sykes, right?
Anyone know the story on Jessica Jackson (6-3 F Arkansas) who verbal to the Razorbacks and now is undecided? She is a Top 50 kid. Maybe even top 20.
Was suppose to sign this week but decided not too.......
You can add Henderson, McCall and Harper too.. A VERY wide net.You could add Cooper as well .... but of course TN didnt need her after Russell committed
Prefer not to.
Totally agree. They were thinking they really had a great shot to land the top 3 kids. Then after they lost out on DD, felt they were going to get Russell and Davis, and made comments like "we may take a class of 4 - getting 3 or 4 of the top 10 kids". They ended up getting a top 3 player, a top 10 player, and a top 40 player. Nothing like the last 2 UCONN classes (our 2011 and 2012) but certainly a fantastic class for a new HC starting after their legendary coach stepped down.Good for Tyler and CViv.
Tennessee recruiting was pretty good this year--with Russell and Tucker--but way below what those on the Orange Kool Aid were predicting.
