Man the bump this morning is comical. Especially considering all the major recognition Mia Pauldo and the freshman class is receiving right now.
Carolyn Peck, a national championship winning coach raved about Mia and this elite freshmen class all night on national tv. It is really silly to act like all of these HS players suddenly are such a need when they aren’t. If they come great. If not move on.
The last thing Tennessee is about to do is try to outbid any team for a player in a position that is not better than Mia Pauldo.
Mia Pauldo has beat this player in HS head to head in Overtime Select.
Right now in college, if Mia Pauldo was taking 20 shots a game like certain players do on teams she could lead the SEC in scoring as a true freshman.
Oliviyah Edwards beat K. Smith head to head in a AAU game on YouTube for everyone to see.
The coaches don’t care if she has an adidas deal or not.
If she wants to come to TN she will.
They aren’t about to make no special deals or offers in recruiting a player.
Taking this rumor from that Twitter handle that is always wrong and running with it is hilarious.
And as mentioned the Lady Vols don’t have to worry about NIL.
Just like in 2025 when they signed the best HS class featuring three McDonald’s All-Americans and five Top 50 prospects while Texas was signing 1 HS player. Those 5 freshman have help lead the team to a pair of ranked wins over SEC foes.
This big donor fantasy at Texas is comical too. Tennessee has another Top 10 class heading to Knoxville featuring the #2 player in HS that picked Tennessee over SC, USC, and LSU. You really think NIL is an issue lol?
If the coaches at UT and the top players feel it’s a good fit they will come to Tennessee. Their NIL deals they get will be as good as any in the SEC. Making silly deals to appease fans won’t ever be the case though. It has to make sense.

. I trust in the coaches. They don’t need help recruiting that’s for certain. 
that is except for you. You would run out of players in 2 years and still be laughing at yourself.
