Is there a NIL just for LadyVols?
Exactly. I've said this before. The LVBHC events are great ways for some of the players to make extra pocket change and for fans to meet the players. My game buddy has met and had pretty good conversation with her fave twice.Www.ladyvolboostherclub.com
this is small potatoes compared to men’s sports. It is great opportunity to get your daughter and granddaughter interaction with Lady Vols. Great way to light up a young, athletic little lady Vol and give some love to our favorite women’s sports program.
Maybe the problem is an unrealistic fan base. Except for Tamari Key everyone is a Kellie recruit. IMO she is recruiting just fine. Talaysia Cooper is a MDA and 5-star recruit, Kaniya Boyd is a 5-star recruit, Jewell Spear led the ACC in scoring, Rickea Jackson is a superstar and will be a top 10 draft pick, Jasmine Powell has progressed nicely, and I believe Jillian Hollingshed was a MDA.I think the problem may be coach Harper
All of what you posted is accurate. But it's not just the fan base with possible unrealistic expectations.Maybe the problem is an unrealistic fan base.

The problem is every player you mentioned will either be gone after this season or next, except Cooper and Boyd. Spotty hs recruiting with a couple of empty classes has left the future roster a mess both by class and position. They'll have to rely almost completely on the portal. They have done well there, but it's scary to have only that source.Maybe the problem is an unrealistic fan base. Except for Tamari Key everyone is a Kellie recruit. IMO she is recruiting just fine.

Portal doesn't open until March. Hard to say what might be on the Horizon. New day and a new way to recruit what you need.The problem is every player you mentioned will either be gone after this season or next, except Cooper and Boyd.

The only fan expectation involved is we expect a roster in 25-26 that isn't 8 guards who are mostly jrs and srs.
It’s not the fan base sorry and Rickea , Spears and Cooper where portal gets. Speaking of she has done better this year and Hollingshead has regressed. So everyone else on team who do you think starts on a top ten team 0. Kellie needs to understand she not at Missouri St you’ve got to recruit sec talent. Look at lsu, South Carolina, and all the top teamsMaybe the problem is an unrealistic fan base. Except for Tamari Key everyone is a Kellie recruit. IMO she is recruiting just fine.

I likey… gotta keep an eye on hs for generational players that want to be a lady vol.The HS recruiting alarmists need to rethink their position. Scrap everything you ever knew about recruiting and transfers. The only thing that seriously moves the needle now is NIL war chests and how you use them. You can invest hugely in a HS recruit with dodgy film and a high bust rate. They drain your NIL fund for a year or two while you pump even more time and resources into them. Then, after a year or two, maybe they become a good player, maybe they portal somewhere else (Justine!).
Or, you can invest in Portal players with 2-3 years left. You get their most productive years, they have more reliable film, and someone else has poured 2 years of developmental resources into them at the NCAA level. So you get a higher hit rate, spend less money on them overall, and you always have a team weighted toward veteran players.
Or, you can have a good balance of hs and portal recruiting like the most successful programs do. There are definitely great hs players out there that someone is going to get; look at this years freshman class nationwide. A freshman class btw that we have ZERO players in. If you have a balance btw portal and hs, it's never do or die on one or the other. Since we had no hs freshman class this yr and since our future roster is crazily out of balance by class and by position, it's do or die for us in the portal this spring. Not a healthy position IMO.The HS recruiting alarmists need to rethink their position. Scrap everything you ever knew about recruiting and transfers.

We made an attempt to sign the post out of Portugal. A couple of trips overseas for Sam. One associated with the Italy trip. Wound up at UConn I believe.Question: I don't hear anything about the future and recruiting internationally. I know, if you can't recruit hs, why go overseas? Not in the budget?
