The Lady Vols have/had some interest in these young ladies as well. I think all 4 received offers from the staff and are/were on their radar.
Olivia miles
Payton Verhulst
talia-von-oelhoffen
greta-kampschroeder
There is not much left on the list of the ESPN top 100 recruits for 2020 for the Lady Vols, especially in the D5 category. There are a few guards, wings and one 6’ 8” player, Sela Heide. We are losing only 2 players from this year’s team, we have a 3 Star verbal in Tess Darby. I think we are well set at the guard position.
I noticed that Syracuse appears to be doing very good recruiting for 2020. They have verbals from Cardozo and Priscilla Williams a 6’ 2”, a 5 Star guard from Mo.
The key is going to be getting the high level players. Can't blame her for 2020 - most of those kids were already being recruited hard before she even got to UT. But she needs to start making splashes in 2021. What are our chances with Miles, Verhulst, Van-oelhoffen and Kampshcroeder? All of those kids are top 15. Getting 1 or more would be a great start at "rebuilding"...!!
Need a top rated class in 2021 nothing less will do for us to continue to progress towards being a top team.
Truth! Typically, it takes about 3 years of relationships to land a 5* recruit. At CKH's old job, she wasn't building relationships with that level of recruit. Keep a positive vibe by giving her time to do her job. The assistant coaches help, but for the big fish, the head coach has to seal the deal. Give her time and stay positive.The key is going to be getting the high level players. Can't blame her for 2020 - most of those kids were already being recruited hard before she even got to UT.

What you will see is the offense a defense that she feels these players can execute after 5 weeks of coaching. Far from a finished product and not the offense that would be run if some of the former greats were in the lineup. Understand that its not plug and play, but teaching and skill development and it takes time.Coach Kellie has been on the job for what, seven months? We’ve seen nothing, really, of her offensive schemes. As it should be! I think, beginning tonight that things - Offensively and Defensively, and for better or worse - will start to come into clearer focus
I agree if we win against the top teams it will help, Also look for Saniya Rivers to pick UConn or a ACC team. We need a pg kellie needs to go watch this young lady Jada Walker class of 2021 from New Hope Academy in MD. I was at this tournament in Qeens NY in April. I posted about her a while back on this board. #11
Sometimes I question the rankings as I've seen some players this year that were ranked lower than the top 20 this year outperforming some of the higher ranked players to this point. Having said this I think we need a top five class in 2021 to improve our position going forward as a top team.
