Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2025-26

Tennessee seems to be playing less non-conference games again this year compared to other teams. We only have 12 on the schedule. Other teams have 13 to 14. Wonder why that is.
 
The same people criticizing Tennessee elite freshmen duo Mia Pauldo / Jaida ‘Air’ Civil and Oklahoma elite G Chavez are praising a freshman that’s averaging 14.7 ppg on a LSU team playing Junior College caliber teams 😂😂😂. Not too mention that 14.7 ppg average is just 5 ppg more than Mia, a little over 1 ppg more than Chavez, and about 3 ppg more than ‘Air’ Civil.
 
Just two SEC games on tab tonight. Clemson vs South Carolina should be a Carolina 25 plus win. Arkansas St at Missouri. Arkansas St has a shot to win this have a top guard in Crislyn Rose. I think she would be a highly sought player if she entered the portal next season. She is a junior so would just have one more year to play.
 
Here’s some to chat about nothing being said right now in this thread!

It’s a movie 🎥 on Rocky Top. Everything recruiting was #1 in 2025. Coach Caldwell running it back “we not done yet” in 2026 this is fire 🔥🔥🍊!!

Clemson must have committed to a bunch of cash for their WBB team. Two big recruits last cycle and now four top 50 recruits this cycle. $ talks it seems. They might be decent next year.

What program has ever recruited without NIL?
I think it’s clear what two teams won the early recruiting signing period.
Tennessee and USC.
Tennessee has two recruits and is still in the Top 7. Clemson and Duke are done they aren’t adding any other players.
If Tennessee lands 1 or 2 more players they will easily be a Top 5 recruiting class. Just months after dominating the HS and Transfer Portal landscape in 2025.
GBO🍊!

Wasn’t talking about NIL, which is a separate topic. Was talking about the % of revenue each Ath Dept. has chosen to allocate to WBB. Clem has obviously upped the ante for their WBB program. Those are the funds a coach has at their disposal for “sign on” bonuses.

Don’t be shocked if Maine hangs around with NCSU for a bit tonight.
 
And it’s all in the same. The point made stands. Clemson might have 1 McDonald’s All-American out of that entire class of 5 commits. If that’s how they wish to spend their NIL/Revenue share funds allocated to women’s basketball then so be it.
