I know some were hoping for Saniya Riverrs, Angel Reese, etc but we needed a post player and Kellie got the best post player in the portal available with proven stats against P5 competition

 

[Volfan1017]

I would WAY rather have an undersized post who is athletic, tough, and works hard than another Emily Saunders. Yes, there were taller players available in the portal, but I’m REALLY excited to add her to our post rotation. 2x defensive player of the year, already knows the system and obviously loves Kellie. Lots to be excited about with this one.

This makes us legitimate contenders for a Final Four next season. We need some '23 commits but this is great news for our playoff prospects next year, barring injury.

Welcome to Rocky Top Jasmine!

Welcome Jasmine! Can’t wait to cheer you play! Congrats to you, and the Lady Vol Coaches and Team on your decision!

GO LADY VOLS!!!

 

[lvocd]

Yessssssss!!!

From what I have seen and read over the last 24 hours, Tamari Key bettah bring it, else SHE will be the backup post next season.

Well done, Tennessee. And huge congrats to Franklin!

Does she not look like Kasi or resemble her at all ? I like this pick up !

 

[CoryDallasLV]

Sweet!!! Welcome to Rocky Top Jasmine!! I really love this pickup for Kellie and the team!

 

[VolFanGBO]

looks like kasiyahna kushkitua

 

[AngryButchJones]

I LOVE this.

Hopefully she's recovered from that ACL injury, because if she is, she looks like a fantastic fit at the 4 like Snoop was this year. And she has already played under Kellie, which is a plus

I wanna say 2…..

 

[Decker Moss]

From what I’ve seen, it’s almost like Franklin is a combination of the best of Dye and Green in one player. That is exciting to me

 

[dtnvol]

Welcome Jasmine! Can’t wait to cheer you play! Congrats to you and the Lady Vol Coaching staff and Team on your decision.

GO LADY VOLS!!!

I tell you, THIS young lady is a "Battler"...she'll go to war every night...If she is healthy from her injury, look out world!! CKH & Staff, pound for pound, will have the best newcomers of ANY team...freshmen included...[ Pissott, Rickea, Jaz P & Jaz F ]...

 

[Spacejam]

Welcome Jasmine!!!

 

[LVsinceJV]

This is one of those players who might not draft in the first round but would have good tenture as a reliable role player on a quality WNBA team. Which, if you know how short careers can get in the W, is a big deal.

That's my impression, too. As long as that knee is strong by the time the season starts Franklin is going to give us some serious help. I'm thrilled!

 

[Aladywhovolunteer]

After several hours of practice in the back yard...BOOM!

 

[Darth_Vol]

I guess all that positive recruiting momentum was too good to last, and now she settles for yet another undersized mid-major coming off a serious injury....
