Coach Jumper: "Fab-4" ... It could happen

[Coach Jumper]

One down,,,three to go,,,

This event would rewrite history. The Fab-5 from Michigan is considered by most to be the greatest recruiting class in history...But their accomplishments failed compared to their potential...That recruiting class only "played" in two natty's...didn't win one. If this happens, who's gonna stop it!

could be,,,but if something like this begins to happen unexpectedly who knows

 

[Coach Jumper]

you worry too much...NIL isn't limited to the big cities,,,there's this new thing called internet,,....There are NO small cities anymore,,,If we got the horses, the KY derby has to come to us

Use your business minds on this

If the Fab-4 transpires,,and Adidas just recently in our backyard,,,

whether you are correct Jumper there was only one top commitment to date from this weekend. the pressure on the young women (and there family and advisors) to decide and on the coaching side of the decision process what is left to do that hasn't been done over the last two plus years?

there are definitely some young women and their families who enjoy the very special weekend courtings

With a broad smile, (a pun) I've not read from any of the board experts of any fathers this year standing on making the decision.

I wouldn't expect , like last year a player to hold out signing waiting for the million dollar offer.

With many LV positives, the visible downside is playing time given the quality of the current freshmen class and others who may/will sign.

You've overlooked one major thing---we sub out five at a time. It's like we have two starting teams

This is the type of coach that if she hits right in recruiting has no qualms about running 15 players at you if all 15 earn it.

Could change if Tennessee is her favorite and she sees some more commitments to the Lady Vols before her visits are over. My feeling is we already got the big prize hope we get a couple more if not then the portal is waiting to fill those openings.

so far I am still optimistic about this happening...It is such a potential historical happening....4 top ten of the class....epic!

There’s a 100% chance the recruiting rankings will change more than once before the final evaluation period. That is why as it has been stated before with a #1/#2 recruiting class in 2025 and now with potentially the top player in 2026 currently ranked #2 Oliviyah Edwards there’s a great chance to land another top class. Oliviyah is staying in the Top 1-3 range and I can see Bri Crittendon moving into the Top 5. If she commits to Tennessee that would be as good a duo you will ever see in the same recruiting class. The other targets could either stay the same or even drop a few spots so I wouldn’t put all that much stock into Top 10 or 15 rankings for certain prospects right now because those players are pretty much equivalent to several others. Then it becomes who the recruiting analysts will see more of and favor for one reason or another to give them the nod in head to head player comparisons.
If Tennessee lands the two forwards and atleast one of the wing players hopefully both then that’s another great HS class. Either way, that’s elite level historical recruiting under a new coaching staff two years in a row bottom line.

Just to check my calibration, I’ve got six slots to fill, seven to bring the roster to 15, plus one slot for each transfer out over the next window.

I’m willing to bet Coach Caldwell plan is to add 3-4 High School recruits and 2-3 Transfer Portal recruits.
I would like to see 2 forward and 1-2 wing players added from the HS targets.
Then add two veterans via the portal 1 guard and 1-2 post players to go along with Talaysia Cooper and Alyssa Latham to add experienced leadership.

I believe she has the guards to effectively execute her system. She loses almost all her bigs after this season so I think her emphasis will be filling and setting up her team with bigs. Of course, exceptional talent is always taken like sharp shooters. Big O and Bri Crittendon will go a long way in building superior "big" talent.
