ND it is for Jacii

Must have been a large NIL deal for Notre Dame to get this deal through.... Oh well on to the next!!

 

[Govols922]

Man she’s gonna have a great career at ND. Hate that she isn’t a lady vol. lady vols should blow them out everytime they play them.

 

[Volfan2012]

can’t blame her. plenty of playing time at notre dame after HH.

Also will avoid Tennessee, Mulkey Costumes, Texas, and Sakerlina at least until the post season.

The Notre Dame fan on here was correct... I bet it's Muffet McGraw...

I will never smile again.

This was a smart decision. ND has no depth chart next season. This is a player that has played against Deniya Prawl and Jaida Civil before that knows there’s no easy way into a rotation at Tennessee next season. Then you factor into Talaysia Cooper who is likely a Top 10 draft pick in the 2027 draft. I honestly don’t know if this player was considering themselves a guard or wing.
I think that family really thought it through as did all the players we signed last recruiting cycle on the #1/#2 recruiting class. As did, Oliviyah ‘Big Oh’ Edwards!

 

[Coach Jumper]

would you believe,,,Fab-3 ?

 

[chuckiepoo]

would you believe,,,Fab-3 ?

…prolly didn't hurt her NIL value one bit. ND definitely has a broad national fanbase. Stay in touch with this one, for sure.

 

[Coach Jumper]

missed it by that much
sorry about that, Chief

 

[teamladyvols1997]

would you believe,,,Fab-3 ?

let’s just wait and see . Let’s no fab anything bc we see how the “fab 4” played out

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

I don’t see the point in the Fab__ nonsense.
ESPNW just put out an article from a reputable national media outlet saying the 2026 class could be COMPARABLE to the 2025 class.
The class that CKC brings in is going to be the class that is part of the future. Right now, you have 14 Top 70 players, 7 Top 20 players, 4 Top 10 players, and 7 McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster.
Do you really think because of an individual player ranking in one recruiting class that may be based on a weaker overall class or perhaps this is a strong class (we’ll see) means every player in this 2026 class in the Top 15-20 is automatically going to be better than a roster full of 7 Top 20 players, 7 McDonald’s All-Americans, 9 Top 30 players, and 14 Top 70 players that are already consider the #7 team in the Nation by ESPN in the preseason?

 

[chuckiepoo]

He’s just being optimistic. I’ve got no problem with that. He does hear things…

…ya know … the voices…

…i couldn’t hep mysef, Coach.

 

[Coach Jumper]

it was a dream, a fantasy,,a what if....it was a pretty cool ride

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Getting the recruits there’s no harm in that.. claiming this was any different than last year’s recruiting class is fake news.
I still believe there’s a great chance for a strong HS recruiting class.

 

[GameTime]

No problem guys....Good luck to her at ND.
This opens the door a little wider for Sara Okeke....

I had a perception, regardless of who was hired, that recruiting would follow success on the floor.

Kim and her staff blew that perception out of the water and arrived guns a’blazin’!

Aesop had these threads in mind when he penned The Fox and The Grapes.

Jaci went to the school that she preferred. She gave some very well articulated reasons why that didn't even broach the gulf academically between ND and the runner ups. It also probably didn't hurt that they had something like 6 alums in the WNBA semis and 3 in the current finals.

Drive on already.

Did Notre Dame not just have to fill their roster with walk-ons?

7 , 7 5 ️s, 6 4 ️ s, 1 2026 & counting on Rocky Top.
2nd most WNBA players drafted all-time and 8 National Championships.

Pump the brakes… but congrats to you.
