We need to put on an impressive performance against LSU and have a great crowd of 11,000 plus. This would be a great way to show A'ja what she can expect playing at UT. No one, not even Connecticut, has the fan support UT does. (Her official visit is Jan. 2-4) Oh, plus Candace's jersey will be retired that night. Could be a great showcase for Lady Vol basketball.
For comparison, think defense of Hornbuckle, athleticism of Glory Johnson, but better offensively than both.
Huh? Jackson's only averaging 9.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game. She's hitting just 41% from the field (28% on 3-pointers) and 54% from the FT line.

Are we out of the running for the #1 player in 2015 Asia Durr?
No, we are very involved and Durr definitely has interest. However, it will be hard to pull her from UConn. We have a better shot at Tea Cooper, who's been to Knoxville several times and it planning on coming back again.
There's not a lot of difference between Durr & Cooper. Both are game changing PGs. Also, top 2016 PG Dangerfield is very high on TNs radar.

I just committed to the university of Tennessee 🍊
I know she's considered one of the top 50 prospects in the class of 2015 according to a Scout article I read from January. What else do we know about her?

For comparison, think defense of Hornbuckle, athleticism of Glory Johnson, but better offensively than both. Holly is getting a GREAT player! I think this gives TN the inside track on her 2016 teammate Crystal Dangerfield, the top PG in that class. Also, LeaLea Carter out of Dickson (top 10 player in 2016) is high on TN's radar.
