That tweet is sad on a couple levels. Mostly because she lost her father. But it sounds like she chose Tennessee to play for Pat Summit's ghost. Don't see Warlick mentioned.

Noticed the same thing.
 
Tennessee has Amira Collins, another higher ranked post coming in 2018......Saunders is rated #100 by PN, not rated in top 60 by Hoopgurlz although the ratings don't always tell the story
 
I think it's important to follow. The last two classes with another good class.
 
Why would you go to Tennessee? If I'm a kid with marginal skill, meaning a future in something other than basketball like 99% of WCBB recruits, why wouldn't you leverage that into getting a free ride to the best academic school you possibly can? Sure if you can go somewhere with a top program/coach, but that's not Holly Warlick or Tennessee anymore. Heck you'd be better off at Quinnipiac at this point.

I think if you're from the South, Tennessee still has a lot of prestige........I'm less clear about why west coast players would want to go there.......
 
My daughter texted me about this a few hours ago......I think Dillon and I discussed that she might choose Michigan a while back

 
Just a note of clarification: Emily Saunders did not lose her father; she recently lost her much-loved grandfather who introduced her to the Lady Vols during the Candace Parker era. Her “Papaw” was a Lady Vol fan and they watched the games together. She commented in her announcement that she wished he had lived to see her become a Lady Vol. one of the pictures above shows Papaw hugging Emily. Emily’s father, on the other hand, is very much alive. In fact, he is a 6’6” career Marine Gunnery Sergeant.

Michelle Sidor Commits to University of Michigan

Sidor, ranked #21, in Prospects Nation for 2019 is a 5'8" combo guard (although she handles the ball quite a bit), who plays for Saddle River Day in northern New Jersey. She led NJ in scoring as a frosh and has -- with the help of some key transfers -- brought her team to the semifinals of the Tournament of Champions.

This commitment makes all the sense in the world to me (and, probably, Charlie) because the player she reminds me most of is Katelynn Flaherty, the graduating Michigan senior who is also from New Jersey.
Good signing by Kim Barnes Arico.

Jaida Patrick 5-11 W, NJ, to Duke.

#25 Prospects Nation
Not in ESPN top 60
Not in BlueStar top 100

It’s early, but Duke doesn’t seem to be landing the top 50 talent like they used to do.

According to Keil Moore of Prospect's Nation (in his article on Sam Brunelle), he noted that "...the Irish have hosted four-star forward Fran Belibi of Colorado on an official visit." Considering that official visits just started the Thursday after the NCAA title game, that must be a recent trip to South Bend.

Besides Notre Dame, Belibi's finalist list includes Stanford, Harvard and Princeton. She is ranked 28th on Hoopgurlz and 41st by PN. She played on the U.S. Team in Argentina. She, of course, is known for dunking in a high school game for her St. Regis (Colo) HS team, which Canadian Laeticia Amihere also did.

don't be fooled by the ratings............some of our NJ girls get little respect..............I know this young lady well and she can really play..............needs to work on her three point shooting but is very athletic can handle the ball and is an excellent offensive rebounder..........she should do well at Duke

Nice smooth perimeter game. Strong athletic forward that can step out and shoot the three. Good Pickup

was this a surprise to you guys or were you aware of her already? I know nothing about her..........

It's a surprise being she was already committed to Western Kentucky. But she doesn't lack for talent. Really underrated in terms of her ability to shoot the 3 as well as post up and finish at the rim. Michelle Clark-Heard was an excellent talent evaluator at wku prior to leaving for Cincy and many scouts believe that she found a gem in Wesolek. She isn't in the top 100 but she reminds me a lot of Alexis Peterson and Ariel Powers under the radar game and could excel on the next level.
 
Jayla Hemingway, #13 in 2019 per PN, out of Colliersville, TN has committed to Mississippi State over Arkansas, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Tennessee was actually the only one of those 4 she didn't visit.

Gotta hand it to CHW....she can get recruits!!!!

I know it's always exciting to get a recruit, but she's #100 on PN and not in HG's top 60... I read she originally verbaled to Marshall, as a sophomore, but apparently changed her mind. She sounds solid but maybe raw. But not a highly rated recruit at all...
 
Jayla Hemingway to Mississippi State. No. 3 wing and No. 13 overall on Prospects Nation. Unranked by Hoopgurlz.

She’s VERY raw in my opinion but the potential is definitely there. McCowan was very raw too out of high school (more than Cardosa IMHO) and look at her now.

I agree, I'm glad we are on her early because she is from Brazil and building relationships is key for players who aren't from here. Good thing Dawn and Coach Keisha (Treasure's Mom) have a great relationship.

Surprised Tennessee isn't on that list...scratch that...just read another tweet to say that they did.

A lot of vol fans feel like they're the front runner due to Massengill signing and Holly recruiting Treasure Hunt. Didn't they just sign a 6'5" post for 2019 and have 6'4" post Kushkituah for 3 more years? Seem like it would be an eventual log jam

She's raw but improving rapidly and working hard on her game. She's much further along than McCowan was at her age. South Carolina and Tennessee very much in the mix for her and Treasure Hunt.

Someone named their child Treasure Hunt? Oy.
