Same thing I was thinking! Raider any updates on who else we might be looking at besides the ones already listed.

Specifically what's the deal with Ezi? Would we land a visit?

I think they 2018s are down to DeCosta, Williams, Burrell, and Green, and I think they use all of their visits. Massengill and Collins are also visiting this weekend.

Still trying to score a home visit with Australian post, but so far, no schools have scored one. Those may not happen until the Spring either.

There are several 2019-2021 players making Unofficial Visits over the next few weeks as well.

1. Do you think Holly will go the JUCO to add depth (especially for post depth) ? 2. Do you think TN has a good shot at the players you’ve listed above? 3. Are the Hayes sisters coming on an unofficial... I just get good vibes from that whole family. I know a lot of people think because Annie came here to play that people think the rest will follow suit but I’ve seen clips of the younger sisters and they are also the truth!

Without more players your looking at Green, KK, Davis, Westbrooks, Massengill, Hayes, Harris, Jackson, and Collins. Two of those players are not signed yet. Any roster less than is eleven is inviting danger due to injuries etc. We need at least two more players to join this team and they need to be able to play. Harris is still suspicious that she can contribute at the SEC level we'll learn more this season. I have to think Holly has at least a backup or two that we don't know about yet or a juco.

I think we will be alright we just have to trust the process!

I believe Massengil and MiMi Collins are locks to come to UT and sign during the early signing period. There are also a few Juco players out there and we have one of the top evaluator's of Juco talent in Coach Reeves. There are also players that will wait until later to sign due to grades or whatever else the case may be and there are always the likelihood of a few decommits.

Looking at the top 100 there are a few that haven't commited and their recruitment has be silent

6'5" Semaj Smith http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/228881/semaj-
smith

6'6" Stephanie Soares http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/228895/stephanie-soares

6'3" Onome Akinbode-James http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/225975/onome-akinbode-james

6'4" Twin Sisters Camilla and Kira Emsbo Camilla is the better of the two http://www.espn.com/high-school/girls-basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/231034/camilla-emsbo

Those are few post options! As I feel that may be our only issue. I agree we need to add at least 4 but there are still options out there. I think we lose 3 and add 5;

I think we will add;
Massengil
Collins
DeCosta
Rae Burell (or Green)
and an unidentified Post be it JUCO or a grad transfer next offseason!

She is going to say the same thing about UT.....it's just something the kids do after a visit. It has little to do with what the media voice it is. They quoted her.

Chrystin and Decosta visited USC last weekend and UT this weekend. They have been linked as wanting to play together? Yet after this weekend they both have other visits scheduled! Christin will visit Texas and DeCosta will visit Baylor!!!! 10/6....

Does anyone think these two would sign with Texas and Baylor and play against each other twice every year????? 😜

I could see Williams at Texas, I don't see DeCosta at Baylor though. I think DeCosta is down to Us and South Carolina (Louisville could make a run but with the recent report and possible death penalty that could scare folk off)

As a Texas fan, I had all but given up on Christyn Williams last October when she dropped Texas from her list of 8 down to a final 7 of UConn, Tennessee, UCLA, Notre Dame, Baylor, South Carolina, and Arkansas. I forget when she dropped South Carolina and Arkansas, but in May she re-added Texas to her final 6 school list of UConn, Tennessee, UCLA, Notre Dame and Baylor.

She then attended the Texas summer camp in early June (may be have been convenient if she was in Houston practicing with her Cy-Fair club team).

Later in the summer, she drops Baylor and sets official visits to UCLA, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Texas, and UConn. After taking her official visit to UCLA on Labor Day weekend, she drops Notre Dame and adds South Carolina.

Seems like Christyn has friends all over the place, and not just in the class of 2018. She specifically said in May that she was adding Texas back mainly because she was familiar with so many players on their roster. Obviously, she is friends with players at other schools like UConn and Tennessee, and is making recruiting visits with DeCosta.

She is Cy-Fair teammates with 2018 Texas verbal commitments Sedona Prince, Charli Collier, and Audrey Warren, and 2020 commit Deja Kelly. She played USA 3x3 basketball with DeCosta and 2017 Texas signee Destiny Littleton.

Christyn is scheduled to visit Texas officially on 10/6. Recently, Charli Collier noted that she will visit Texas on 10/20. With Charli and Christyn being friends, too, I won't be surprised if they visit together; not sure if it will be 10/6 or 10/20; but, if 10/20, it would be Christyn's last official visit after her 10/13 visit to UConn.

Every schools wants Christyn, and only one will get her; exciting times ahead over the next several weeks. With UConn and Tennessee being her constants, I still think they are her favorites.

I could see Williams at UCONN if she wants the best coaching, but playing time will be crowded with UCONN having so many guards.

Hoping that Decosta and Williams verbal fairly quickly hopefully before Green and Burrell decide. We would not want to be shut out of all 4.

If Jolette Law was the main recruiter for both Decosta and Williams then I could see that. I always wonder did Law get them in the door with Williams? I believe it was more Dawn but I don’t know.

I don't have the link, but a recent interview Williams did said Dawn was the reason for adding South Carolina back.
