Wow!! Shocked... good luck ... Boston is a must get!! Let’s hope warlick can develop her .. my guess Cooke follows her there. Never understood why top talent would go to Tennessee but then again who am I to decide. Big dissapoitment.. Boston is not a sure thing and Jones is my guess staying home .. this could be a huge hit if UCONN loses out on all 3

My guess is that one of the reasons Jordan Horston did not pick UConn is that she knows Haley Jones is coming aboard. Their skill sets overlap substantiality.

Let me know the next time Tennessee makes it to a final four or win a title.. Tennessee always seems to be a total train wreck with all that talent. U can recruit all u want but holly is no pat!! Good luck to her obviously UCONN wasn’t what she wanted. Move on and hope to bring in the players that want to be a part of the husky program. And don’t sleep on griffin she is the sleeper of the class. Like I said Boston is the must get. We have no depth in the height and inside presence .. if we lose out on Haley and Boston UCONN will need to score big in the 20 class or UCONN will take a huge hit ... tables are turning in the basketball world ... parity!! I have a gut feeling Boston will head to Notre Dame and Haley will stay home and head to Stanford!! If that happens Geno will be very thin next year and losing Katie Lou and pheese UCONN will have no depth and it will be a bad situation.

First off, Jones is going to Stanford. Secondly, they play different positions. Jones is a 3/small 4 and Horston is a 2.

I found it interesting that in Horston’s video she included segments referencing Pat Summit, but nothing on HW. Unfortunately, she won’t be coached by Pat Summit.

Nevertheless TN should be congratulated on getting a good one. Maybe with the addition of Horston the Lady Vols might just be able to make it out of the 2nd round of the Big Dance.

I think TN will have the back line height this year to offset the loss hopefully of Mercedes Russell. It is all up to Holly to develop those players. WCBB all start out 0-0. Horston has her reasons for choosing TN.
 
Once again, and I say this every year, Holly shows she is a master recruiter. The best in the SEC and one of the best in the country. Her consistency at surrounding herself with some of the best talent the country has to offer is admirable, and Tenn should be congratulated.

The but here is, nothing changes for Tenn. Holly will still bring a loaded team to play every night that will play well against some of the better teams, play hard but play undisciplined in the offensive end, struggle against lesser teams, and lose before the quarters at the NCAA's. She will also fail to fully develop any of the talent she surrounds herself, and her teams will struggle to produce AA's and pro ready players. But also make no mistake, her teams will continue to define the adage, "On any night", and when UConn plays them prepare to be in a dogfight every game.

Man I would love to have their collection of guards/wings going forward. I’ve already signed off Jackson and Cooke to Tennessee now as well and if that happens, GOOD NIGHT... Holly Warlick is competent enough I think to not even screw that up.

Congrats to them. I am legitimately disappointed and jealous. Not sure what more Dawn can do to convince recruits.

At UConn, Horston would be stuck behind Williams at the 2, and perhaps (my mouth to God's ears) Bueckers as well after next year. Plus, I think that these days her game is better suited to the 3.

Has nothing to do with that... Geno is the greatest but he has said time and time again recruiting is so much harder and so much more is involved ... players don’t want to be pushed as much... parents coaches are involved .. social media and all the hoopla and all that. UCONN is one of the very few programs that are very selective while other programs will recruit anyone and everyone. Sometimes it works out for Geno and sometimes it doesn’t. Woujd have loved to have gotten her but clearly she didn’t want to come to UCONN. Like I said table is turning and players are no going to other programs. Sometimes winning a national title isn’t always the most priority .. playing time and being the star is more appealing to a player. A lot of players are all about me mantality. Hate to say it but Notre Dame is the same as UCONN .. they run there programs very similar and usually recruit the same type of kids that buy into the team first mantality. Pat Summitt was Tennessee just like Geno is UCONN. Tennessee in the past several years has shown no consitancy or development... yes they get talent but never seem to gel... but UCONN will be UCONN and I’m shocked that Dawn hasn’t brought anyone in yet either...all I can say is Boston is the one player UCONN can’t afford to lose... a top 3 player and in our backyard would be a absolute stab in the heart. But the good thing about Jordan she didn’t follow any of her friends she played on the us team this summer like Brunelle is trying to do... she made up her mind and believed holly and Tennessee will develop her to the level she wants to be at. Apparently the lack of Tennessee Alums in the WNBA and national and Olympic teams wasn’t a major factor in her decision...
 
Maybe it was as simple as wanting to play with Cooke and Jackson and Tennessee was willing to take all three. Even Ohio State was starting to run out of room.

not all that surprising that Horston didn't chose UConn...........I never got the sense that she would be willing to work within the constraints of Geno's system.............if that was the case at least she could have chosen to learn under Dawn..................with Holly she'll have free reign to do anything she wants with the ball which is really not a good thing for her in the long run.........
 
I wish her well. And I hope the fans who are so partisan as to be nasty get what they deserve, whatever that is.
