....or as a coach. I think there are still several questions. The team didn't look progressively better last year imo.
UNC lost their last seven games and exited in the first round of ACC tournament (to Wake Forest). They lost at home to Duke by 19...a team that had only beaten them by 10 earlier at Duke.
It doesn't seem that "getting progressively better" was a factor in Teonni's choosing UNC.
We were far better than UNC last year, and had been. But, I don't know why they're choosing them over us..

not big on rankings and all that hype on highly recruited players all I know is that the girls CKH has brought in some great Basketball players not surprised if they "outplay" their rankings!!!I’m so tired of these subtle digs at our players as if they aren’t highly recruited
These recruits were high enough to get the attention of a certain coach who was linked with the LV job and oh look they chose TN. I guess they aren’t good enough if they choose UT while not going to some of the other “top” schools
Our most recent commitments:
Puckett - tons of P5 offers
Wynn - multiple (didn’t post hers?) P5 offers
Striplin - tons of P5 offers in the southeast
According to Darth, KJH should sign 20 players in the 2021 recruiting cycle and should feel ashamed if someone declines. No, we didn’t get Key. Were you mad too when Pat didn’t get Maya Moore? Not every kid wants to come to Tennessee and that’s okay.
We get caught up in “ratings” and honestly that has been part of our downfall the last few years. I don’t care if Puckett, Wynn, and Striplin are 100+ if they can help the Lady Vols win.
Go Vols!

Truth -- Rhyne Howard is considered one of the top 5 players in the country was ranked 32nd by HG her senior year. It seems like a 2018 commitment from her would have disappointed some posters here.Our most recent commitments:

I always look at the players we are recruiting verses what (Schools) that are recruiting them ! All three of the ladies who verbaled had many offers and most of the SEC schools were after all three ! I take that fact as the most important factor in their value ..... Not how they are ranked ! These ladies will make us proud and make me excited to watch them play ..... That hasn’t been the situation over the last few years ! And everyone on this forum knows what I am saying! JMO
