Not one of these is making the Lady Vols a choice including the 6'6" top post player in the U.S., (Kamilla Cardosa) who plays for Hamilton Heights in Chattanooga.
Yep, somewhat concerning. Can’t win without good recruiting. Maybe next year will be a big improvement. Of course Holly sighted some highly ranked classes and we know how that worked out. Still not the results we hoped for this year.A better recruiter than her husband?
There are three Tennesseans ranked in the top 30, six in the top 100. None are coming to Tennessee...

The article does not even consider her for any visits to the Lady Vols period. That is not good and even worse. Keep in mind that Sharonna Reaves who brought in the top classes nationally in 2017-2018 was not even considered to be retained...she is one of the best recruiters nationally and far better that the one brought in by Kellie Jolly Harper.
Reese still have a lot of growing to do in her game to win a championship and make the WNBA. She looked terrific at Nike nationals but I don’t see her being a perimeter player in college. She is also a good rebounder but doesn’t shoot the ball very well. I think both parties may have backed off all things considered. If she goes to Maryland she will have a solid career and maybe a first round draft pick but even the terms has been underwhelming with a team full of talent. If she goes to Southern Cal or Cuse she will be an afterthought. Neither of those teams look to be threats at all for a national championship in the future...
You are incorrect about the male coaches. A male coach was never going to be allowed to coach the lady Vols. Much of the rabid fan base would have an absolute cow.Don`t get me wrong i think Holly had to go and it was the correct move by Phillip Fulmer . But let`s take a step back Fulmer waited to long to fire Holly. And by waiting to long most of the players other then Westbrook might have been thinking someone on the old staff would be the new coach. ? Just my opinion. I like Jolly and i do think she can turn this program around, And to add Fulmer made a circus out of the coaching vacancy. It was jeff walz if he wanted it oh no it`s Wes Moore job and the list go`s on.

Holly Warlick reeled in brow-raising recruiting classes several times, and annually before conference play began most of us on here were miserable (if not apoplectic). Recruiting just wasn’t the difference maker for this program anymore.
Let’s pin our hopes on coaching first and hope that that leads to recruiting fortunes in the future.
I think (just an opinion) it's a catch 22 situation. To get good recruits you have to win games. To win games you need good recruits.Holly Warlick reeled in brow-raising recruiting classes several times, and annually before conference play began most of us on here were miserable (if not apoplectic).
