2026 Lady Vols Recruiting

The transfer portal is jumping. If Coach Caldwell has to sign her entire team from the transfer portal I’ll be 100% locked in. The only players that even seem to have some sort of loyalty to Tennessee are Gabby Minus and Jaida Civil. Neither have said anything to slight the program or Coach Caldwell. Nor have they worshipped a recruiting coordinator 😭😭😭😭.
Even if those two players entered the portal I could 100% support them in hopefully finding the right place and fit for their career.
The way Coach Caldwell was done by these former players and coaches is about the worse sign of dignity, integrity, and professionalism I’ve seen from coaches & student athletes.
It will be Gabby only!! Civil isn’t staying

Quick question, other than leaving, what have the kids that have left done to be disrespectful? I haven’t seen anything yet so I am genuinely curious?
 
So who could Esmeralda be a replacement for
Anyone! They’re all gone so she can replace any one of about 12 roles! It’s all wide open, wide wide open! Woo hoo go esme, she can even make up her own new role and nobody could stop her at this point. Also assistant coach position open as of this writing if that’s more her style. And probably a few thousand open slots for new fans. Blank page territory!

🤢 I believe you have the situation completely backwards.
Need we remind you again of your constant worship of our departing freshman class as Eeeellleeeitttte
 
I really am wondering just from a staffing perspective how in the world KC and Jenna and the new guy Ferrara will be able to analyze, contact, talk with, prepare like 30 offers to get 10-12 players in a month?
Not to mention trying to hire another assistant coach

I agree, I would think you would almost have to outsource the scouting to a private scouting service. The service scores the film on all the players in the portal. Then you filter it based on the qualities you value and then you try to real them in.

I'm sure a lot of this work is done behind the scenes year-round these days with players' agents.
 
When/If she does. She'll leave with more $ than you'll ever see, so I say she'll enjoy it and life after fairly well. Im sure you thought you did something with that comment tho 😂
Being happy over another persons wealth is pretty weird man.

Does she not have a Roster Management position? Jenna should watch good coaches end of game plays. By the way, every final four head coach was drawing up the plays in the last five minutes last night, not an assistant.

She’ll get to have another excuse at the end if next year lined up. She just didn’t have enough time to build a competitive roster. These aren’t ”her type” players. Win-win for Kim.
