I’ll keep dumping actual facts in the recruiting threads. This 2027 recruiting class is not as good as the previous two and is projecting towards being overall as a hit or miss group of prospects as the 2022 recruiting class.
In no world is any post player as versatile or athletically gifted as Oliviyah Edwards in any of the previous two classes or the next two classes. Sarah Strong is a completely different type of player.
The younger Betts sister is the closest in terms of talent and athleticism there’s a video on YouTube where they went back and forth.
There’s a Top 10 2027 post player that Edwards dominated on a YouTube video.
Then there’s the video of her and SC 2026 Top 10 signee in Overtime Select where Edwards hit the elite step back jumper displaying Big Oh incredible versatility to win the Overtime Select Queen of the Court as just a sophomore 😂😂😂.
95% of all the different critics takes are comical at best. It got personal once she canceled the South Carolina and LSU visits🍊. Again, I never speak on players I haven’t seen live. These are facts.

We want know how good Edwards is until she goes against actual college post players. Can she handle college physically or be like the ones we have now ? We need true rebounders and players that can finish down low with contact. Also need true shooters. We don't have enough....

IVanna and Special K … along with some shooters is exactly what Lady Vols need. There is a reason why we lost out on Harpring… Ivanna can shoot and Special K can do everything…

we don’t need players/parents like we had with the murferreboro kid

I’ve given up on us getting any of those players, none of them will want to play with these hockey style substitutions, we’ll get lucky once in a while while but we won’t be able to add multiple and be a top contender until that changes.

Is that not true for every high school player entering college? You’re referring to the no.2 ranked player in the 2026 class. I don’t know what sense it makes to say “or be like the ones we have now?” The team is 14-4 6-1(SEC) and ranked #15-20.
I’ve seen you and others call for players to enter the portal so Tennessee can sign them from worse teams. And in the end, I still don’t see how any of it has anything to do with Tennessee 2026 recruiting class.

It doesn't matter how bad a Team is, they could still have one of the best players in the country or just one that fits our needs. And the players ranking doesn't matter coming out of high school if they can't handle the college level. They mostly get their rankings playing against inferior talent and paid camps . Look at Jersey she can't shoot outside and can't handle the physically in the paint. That's just one of many over rated players. Someone mentioned Galan for Vandy not rated by some and no. 65 on another and she's holding her on so they miss both ways. Now speak the real truth. I don't like naming players but enough is enough.

So you don’t have an answer. And if those players were as good as you believe, how come they aren’t winning at their current school? That’s a simple question.

Are you just plan dumb or what. It takes a TEAM and a coach to win championships . The best player doesn't always come from the championship team but more often than not if a coach has the best player he'll have a strong supporting cast. How many McDonald's AAs do UCLA have they cleaned our clock . There loaded with really good basketball players.

Yet again another simple question went unanswered👆.
You don’t have much substantive basketball knowledge.

It’s not only an opinion when it’s blatantly false. Big difference. The players that Oliviyah Edwards need next to her are already at Tennessee in the 2025 class, the potential returnees, along with Gabby Minus. The rest comes down to the transfer portal.

KnoxLikeUs I agree. About 10 years ago I started to pay more attention to the word "OPINION" more than I ever have (how I use it and how someone I'm talking to uses it. I won't get into why but it's probably obvious .

There is "my favorite color is orange" that type of comment is solely based off of what I like!

Then there's opinions trying to prove a point, have a debate etc... There are two types - informed opinions and misinformed and /or not informed. To know what kind of opinion someone has now and then look back at what you wrote and ask yourself did I include facts something that is true.

Informed opinions are judgments supported by facts, research, and evidence, showing an understanding of a subject Uninformed options lack these qualities. Relying on assumptions feelings and misinformation.

I don't mean to come off as some sort off pseudo teacher lol it is my opinion that when I'm debating it's very difficult to debate someone who DOES not have an informed opinion.

I'm sharing only my experience and feelings and the reason I get frustrated as a poster at times. I''m not telling anyone how to post etc.

Here is a player we have offered. Doesn't really look to fit the system we play, but really fits the bulk we need in the SEC. I think she would be a strong companion for Edwards as an inside player.

She reminds me of Aliyah Boston. She could be a great rim protector and rebounder if we were to get her.

Kind of player we need helps open up the three point line and protects the smaller players on drive with their bulk if they know how to screen players off the driver.

Already see where some teams are holding off for the portal. I think if one of the top 20 does not want to commit before then won't see anyone else commit.

Last time transfer portal close before the house settlement revenue sharing kick in.
Teams that haven't got big sponsorship might be able to hold onto the players if they some revenue sharing from there athletic director.
Course there will be money this time

UCLA hoping to sign five out of the portal. I am sure all SEC teams want at least 3 or more. Won't be enough for everybody going to be a huge bidding war.
