2026 Lady Vols Recruiting

[Hooper22]

There is legit interest there with Okeke. As the article states, she resembles the Ogwumike’s, and for those who have been around, know how dominant they were at Stanford. I’d agree with the assessment. Will be interesting to follow this one.

I watched the video with great interest...Sara Okeke dominated the games shown very much like the Big OH does her games...She also has great speed, which is as we all know, is a needed ingredient in Coach Kim's offense.

After watching this, I get the interest. She looks like the prototypical big that would thrive in Kim's system. She is fast, graceful, skilled, and just naturally runs the floor to lead the fast break over and over. I love it that even the best international players are putting the Lady Vols in the small group!

Minus in this weekend she is a terrific player hope she has a great time on Rocky Top.

Does anyone know if Sara Ok is scheduled for a visit? I have watched her video at least 4 times now.....She owns the inside game from the elbow to the rim....

Put her with Big O and just forget about it...Go get a hot dog and a beer, it would be all over. Our opponents would need a lot of bathroom breaks, because these two would scare their bladders into frequent use....

Are they still there....

I think Minus is a player we could get to committ on her visit, just like Edwards!?

 

[BruisedOrange]

Has Minus had an unofficial visit on a football gameday?
That 100,000 fans support and the atmosphere on campus seems to be a big part of our recruiting secret sauce.

I’m not hinting at any inside news. Just excited about the upcoming recruiting visits and also the potential to hear more commitment announcements not for any particular recruit speaking in general.
Rocky Top is rocking !!!

I hope the reason she commits is because she wants to be a part of something special and not because of some NIL smoke and mirrors scheme.

Is that what Baylor has going since that right now seems to be her top choice. I know TCU may certainly be guilty of that but she is not listing them. Our worries with them are Crittendon and Jones.

 

[Volfan2012]

The Caldwell formula is the players we don't get in high school recruiting we will get a comparable player in the portal. So if for any reason we don't get any of the remaining players were after look for us to be portal active. if we get them all not much activity from us in the portal.

While that will be sufficient for some recruits, that alone won’t be sufficient to bring in the type of talent Kim and her staff are seeking.

The NIL era arrived four years ago and the Lady Vols missed the bus. That may have just been one facet of the HS recruiting failures, but that’s a different issue. There are no “smoke and mirrors schemes”.

If you think we signed Oliviyah without offering a competitive NIL deal, I don’t know what to tell ya.

Actually, you appear to reply to every thought published here so to say "I don't know what to tell ya" is not true given your record.

My point is to give things adequate consideration instead of taking something that looks like it is awesome because of the way it was presented with a ton of pomp & circumstance. My point was about Notre Dame recruiting and others that are more about show than substance. As far as Baylor goes, I think of that school in the same way I think of Chicken U.

Completely missed the point.

I did, still missed it! not a strong point given the response from Chuckie.

Don't know what more I can say other than I hope the players give their decision a lot of thought and that they don't let sparkly things deter them from making the best decision for themselves and I hope the reason she commits is because she wants to be a part of something special and not because of some NIL smoke and mirrors scheme by a competing team.
