Non-UConn Recruiting Information

[Vowelguy]

Name a top 50 recruit that doesn’t have Louisville in their top 4/5. They are relentless on the recruiting trail.

Walz & Co. are great recruiters...

Or indiscriminate?

(Not sure which, or which is better.)

 

[UConnCat]

Oooo, hard to know who to root for here.

Raoul does an amazing job with his WCBB tracking and info, but he has taken a few shots at UConn. And Walz = good coach; better whiner.

Raoul is a bit of a whiner himself, and thin-skinned. Toss-up.

Meh. I was hoping she would land at VPI

Someone had to take the Mercedes Russell memorial "Standing around watching guards take bad shots" role in Holly's offense...

I dunno if apes even wear gloves.. But the gloves were definitely off on that post

 

[stwainfan]

This was a important get for Tennessee. Needed some size and post player. To go with the guards. Davis on the wing.

be kind........you're going to see a whole new Holly coaching philosophy next season.......

What's this? I thought TN was going to be 'just fine' with KK and Collins as their size?

Standing around and watching small forwards take bad shots?

A team needs players ever year. KK and Collins will have more experience. Key will be a important part of the team.

come on I was waiting for a big punch line!!!

This is a big recruiting coup for Tennessee, but a HUGE miss for Duke.

Tamari Key is part of the Carolina Flames AAU program, which has a good number of Top 100 kids across multiple recruiting classe:

#7 - Saniya Rivers (2021)
#52 - Tamari Key (2019)
#80 - Anya Poole (2020)
#84 - Teonni Key (2021)
*** Updated rankings per Collegiate Girls Basketball Report

To lose out on a highly ranked in-state recruit has to hurt Duke's Joanne P. McCallie, but to lose out on a pipeline to an in-state AAU program with other highly ranked players could have ripple effects for the Duke program.

If growing her hair a little longer is considered a change in coaching philosophy, then that will probably be the extent of it.

2019 Tamari Key to Tennessee
Ranked #50 by ProspectsNation and reportedly played well at Nike Nationals.

Meh. I attended Nike nationals as well as the Indy EYBL session. She’s a bit raw and fairly thin. Her low post moves needs a bit of work and although she’s a good rim protector, she tends to foul too much. She can run the floor well but doesn’t have very good hands.

I watched 2019 wing Brea Beal out work her for post position and rebounds on several occasions and Beal gave up at least 4 inches in that matchup.

Great coaches like Geno, Rueck, Muffett or Wes Moore would have made her into a force but I don’t expect much from her under the tutelage of Holly Warlick.

Don’t you also have Emily Saunders (6-4 P) in the 2019 class?

Tennessee Lady Vols get commitment from junior post Emily Saunders

South Carolina’s Grissett is also a former Carolina Flames player as well. That’s a rising AAU program in the South. They’ll be up there with Georgia’s FBC soon. I hear Tamari’s younger sister Teonni is potentially an even better player than Tamari... but in all honesty, Rivers is the player that’s at the top of everybody’s list.

C'mon. Waltz recruits them while they're still in oshkosh.

with all of the hoopla about the new evaluation dates, I find it hard to believe Louisville could screw that up................if they did I'll be curious to see what the NCAA does about it.........

2019 Top 60 Prospect Sydnee Roby Includes Marquette In Her Final Seven

[Dillon77]

She was a finalist at the U.S. National Team u17 trials, if memory holds.
And she's been steadily climbing in the ranking services. Would expect more schools to get involved here, including relative nearby ACC schools like Virginia, Va. Tech, etc. Will be an interesting prospect to keep track of in the upcoming year.

UVA and VT have already offered as well as many other ACC schools. Also has SEC offers from South Carolina, Vandy, and Kentucky.

Whoa, that's a lot of schools to toss into the wide part of the funnel and see what comes out the other end. Congrats and good luck to her. Thanks for passing along....
