You'd have to ask them, but their storied history is undisputed. How do you explain top recruits still going there in spite of the train wreck, and recently, a brand new coach with zero elite WCBB experience?
I mean, it's a school with a great athletics culture, in a really fun and cute town, with great facilities, great AD support, and a fan base that turns out year after year after year. And Kim cuts a young, energetic, charismatic cloth, especially out of the gate. It's not hard to see why top recruits would be attracted even if they think of Candice Parker as a graying, aged mother figure, lol.
Fair points. I guess UCLA men's hoops is still kind of like that. But at some point, everybody has to admit the program ain't what it used to be and never will be again.
Nah, she's the auntie who will dote on you when you deserve it and give you what for when you step out of line. 😉
Learn somethin’ new every day. I had no idea Knoxville was an hour from Great Smokies National Park. I’ll be spending a week down in Gatlinburg and the park next month, my first time there. No shine, but I do plan on partaking of local microbrews.
On top of all that, there's probably a pretty good amount of NIL money being offered, based on everything I've read and heard via the grapevine.
Was she a point and/or combo guard? If so, I could certainly see her fitting into the MIchigan State system. As far as opportunities go, gosh knows Penn State needs players. Lots of them. That's if she wants to get closer to home.
Me too. The way folks were reacting. You would think that as soon as the game was over, the very next day, Lady Vol players were going to be rushing to put their names in the transfer portal. Skip the exit interview. Just head to the athletic office and put their names down for transferring.
Reddit source who knows one of the players say as many as twelve are planning to transfer. Crooks has been silent.
She’s more a point, but she can shoot it. Of all those you named, Clemson intrigues me most. I’m sure Poppie knows a lot about her from his UT-Chattanooga days. She apparently is a good student, too. I watched her quite a bit in summer ball and just enjoyed her toughness. I would think MTSU would be a decent landing spot, too, at least in terms of closeness to home. I’m not sure location is even a factor with her.
On the question if top recruits will still go to Tenn, the earlier post showed for class of '26 - #9, #17, #20, #45 #57 and '27 - #2 #62.
I imagine she will go to a contender. Iowa might be a good fit
What makes you think she's looking at Michigan? Not saying she wouldn't be a good edition, but there are a lot of schools she could fit in well at. Also, Michigan's recruiting has brought in some talented players with more coming in. Trying to see how she would fit in without displacing someone else.
She'd fit in beautifully at Uconn.
How do you see this? It just takes me to a reddit page with a ton of different reddits....
