2026 - Oliviyah Edwards goes ???

[BRS24]

Ok hoop fans, here's one for you. Where do you think Edwards will land now that she's been released from TN? Who has the most to gain, and where can she be the most effective? If you picked "Other," feel free to give us your view on why it's a school outside of her final list.

Be nice, and have fun!

Voted LSU

Florida had a coaching change so I think they’re out.

South Carolina is stacked at the 4 already, I don’t think she wants to play behind Kitts/Edwards.

USC is also stacked.

LSU makes sense. Washington makes sense. I hope she ends up at Washington.

 

[UConnGabby]

USC East or USC West . . . if she wants to be on a team with an excellent chance to reach the 2026-7 Final Four.

I am uncertain about LSU reaching that Final Four . . . until after the Transfer Portal season is over.

UCLA is a wildcard

 

[triaddukefan]

I hope she ends up with the Huskies. But I bet she ends up in the $EC at L$U

 

[ucmiami2]

Just a question - can teams still restrict a release of an LOI? I know it has happened before with a specific school or a specific conference. And if so has TN put any restrictions on the release? (And have they in fact said they have released her?)

 

[WBBZen]

UCLA is a wildcard

Agreed. I think LSU a frontrunner but wouldn't count UCLA out of anything right now

Given her close relationship with Candace Parker I don’t think we’re in the running

Caroline Bradley, the No. 3 recruit and the best post player in the girls' SC Next class of 2027, has committed to LSU, she announced Monday. This may play into her decision. Maybe not...

Didn't even think about this.

USC??? Are there enough balls for everyone?

 

[azfan]

She would look wonderful in maroon and gold here in Tempe.

 

[packwrap]

I put LSU in the poll, but UCLA could be an option. Plenty of playing time, exposure and recruiting funds available.

And ironically Hines just left LSU...which surprised me.

 

[BruinGold]

Didn't Tennessee's "recruiting coach" head to LSU? That could be a definite draw for Edwards.

Gabe Lazo.
He’s already left LSU . New head coach at UCF

 

[LwrcasefaN]

These situations are akin to getting lost on your way to college.

 

[Jibariqua]

Other = TCU

A surprise mostly because she recently, along with her friend Z Johnson, verbally committed to stay.

From a playing time standpoint Hines (and Gilbert&Bourrage) were going to all be backups to Richard, Fulwiley and Williams.

Not much patience anymore waiting to start.

She's a very good combo/D guard.
