I think that Sara Puckett visited with Miss Striplin, with the prized 2022 recruit from Loretto, Miss Weathers, and perhaps more players. I’m pretty sure there’s an AAU connection. Might’ve been the Texas game.
Take anything I say FWIW, and with the understanding that all of them supposedly have some interest in playing for the Lady Vols.
There are three, six two - six three players with similar games - Striplin, Puckett, and Breanne Salenbien from Michigan. Karoline Striplin appears a very good inside-out player; whereas Puckett and Salenbien are probably a little more outside-in. I truly would not want to have to choose one over the other, especially between Puckett and Salenbien; both have tremendous range, handling, and passing skills ...and excellent Court Vision; Salenbien has exceptional length. In fact, she and Puckett often play point when their teams press.
We can’t have them all, and we might sign none of them, but their rankings and their games are very impressive.
Of course, the Key sisters could be a formidable Lady Vol duo.
And though she appears a long shot, Arkansas’ Jersey Wolfenbarger - 6’2” with point guard skills and a great shooter (I think) could be as good as anyone we’re likely pursuing. I add these players, and there are several others, because signing even one of them - Teonni or Jersey - could affect the others, that Domino thing.
