What I'd like to know is why she committed without taking her scheduled visits to other schools. Could the other schools have withdrawn their interest?Is Dunbar athletic? I worry when UT gets talented shooters because we have had several of them in recent years who were not athletic enough to be good at this level. You need to be athletic to play defense, get your shot off against tough defenders, etc.
Holly has commitments from 2 guard Middleton and now 2 guard Dunbar, and is apparently continuing to pursue 2 guards Gabby Green and Jamie Nared. Does Holly not feel good about our chances with the higher ranked players? Or does she really like the 2 current commitments we have regardless of the higher ranked players? Is there is a need for more guard/wing players on this team? And with each commitment, do other recruits at the same position see the increasing competition for playing time? I am thrilled with the new commitment, but don't understand the big picture.
Her growth spurt occurred during her freshman year. By 10th grade she was already 6'1". I can't believe all of the rating services are clueless enough to be 2 years out of date, not can I think of anyone ranked 80th that turned out to be a premier player.Middleton is a 1/2 Dunbar is a 2/3/4 Holly and her staff know what they're doing and Dunbar was ranked so low because she used to be 5'7 before a growth and now is 6'2

I think that playing with Henderson helped her rating. Many coaches and analysts saw her when going to see Henderson who otherwise would not have seen her at all. Also, with opposing defenses keying on Henderson, Dunbar attracted less defensive opposition.Perhaps playing in the shadow of Emmonnie Henderson last season suppressed some people's opinions of ranking her higher. Perhaps while recruiting Henderson last year, Warlick and the staff saw a big upside to her game? Perhaps J. Law has some inside knowledge of her game, work ethic, capabilities, etc., having coached recently in the state of Illinois??? A promising indicator is that Middleton and Dunbar accepted their offers early and lunged at the cherished opportunity to to be a Lady Vol. They get it.
Tennessee makes the final five for Gabby Green. Cal seems to be the major competition in that group as she eliminated Duke.

Kelsey Bone transferred the hell away from South Carolina asap & went to Tx A&M..
fyi
FYI on Prospect Nation, Dunbar jumped from 81 to 43 in the new ranking released today
Probably has most to do with being picked by Tenn. Players seem to get a boost in rating when picked by schools known to pick good players.There will be some late bloomers. Always are. Maybe she will be like Spencer and just get better and better.
