Women's basketball recruiting -- No. 2 senior prospect Angel Reese narrows college list to five
Boom and she has an official visit set! She wants to be able to take the rebound and push the offense. That fits TN bill where as teams like MD and Syracuse (SCs forwards will get the ball to Harris) often look for their guards. TN has always had a multitude of people (of course guards but players like Chamique, tamika , Candace, Shekinna, Glory, Alicia Manning, and more recently Rennia and even Rae) initiate the offense off a rebound and that is one thing I hope CKHJ keeps!
This could be another step towards a return to revelance ! With Jordon and Zaay (top ten guards) , and our new Bigs . We need the do it all players like Angel to complete our team so we can compete with UConn and Miss. St. and Norte Dame , etc. The way I see our recruiting list..... four of the top five are on our prospects list...... Van Lith , Andrews, Cardosa, and Angel ... And fourteen of the top fifty ranked recruits! How many can we land ???

I don’t remember UT bigs or forwards grabbing rebounds and pushing in transition last year or at all in the HW era. That may now change since Harper has said she wants to push tempo more. Davis is the only player I remember that is capable of grabbing a rebound and starting the transition. It doesn’t happen much at SC because Dawn wanted Harris to control tempo for most of the game but now that we’re going to a position-less approach players like Amihere, Beal, and Grissett will definitely have the opportunity to do so and push tempo. I think Maryland does the same with Charles to a certain extent, so I think it will come down to UT, SC, and Maryland for Reese’s commitment.
Rennia most def ... Rae is a Forward/Guard but also remember Cierra Burdick? She often rebounded the ball, brought it up, and initiated the offense. But also traditionally TN has been the school to do that. Not saying SC won’t but they just haven’t shown that. Also while Amihere is a BALLER I haven’t seen her initiate the break from her highlight tapes I could be missing something.
Haha how did I know when SC was mentioned you were going to swoop in and say something Nobody is attacking Dawn (she is one of my favorite coaches) but Holly has deployed that form of basketball more than Dawn. Dawn I believe will transform her offense especially being she will have a better handle from coaching team USA where most players are extremely versatile. Also being the national coach has to have some benefits but so does being a LV
I felt no attack whatsoever haha I just like to have conversations being that it’s so dead around this time of year! I forgot about Burdick but yes she did initiate and Davis did as well, didn’t see much of Burrell last year except when y’all played us and she did well from what I saw. Like I said I’m sure Harper will let her players run more tempo so I can see why Reese is interested and with the players Dawn has coming I’m sure she told Angel the same thing. It’ll definitely be interesting to see who gets her signature that’s for sure. I’m certainly glad UCONN is out of the running!!
Landing Reese would be a fantastic start for Kellie. From limited footage I've seen, I think she might be over ranked at #2 but she's very long with good handles and appears to be a good passer. Needs to put on a lot of weight to battle inside and isn't a strongest finisher yet. I think Brink looks like a more developed player at this point than Angel (she also needs to add muscle to compete inside). Unfortunately Bueckers looks like the clear cut #1 recruit from what I have seen...she looks like Taurasi 2.0. I think she'll be a much better player than any of Dangerfield/Westbrook/Christyn Williams will be for Geno.

Jaime Nared, too. She loved to go coast to coast.
I hope you're not banking on Grissette trying to do the same. I remember her trying to do that in last year's SEC title game, and her continuous turnovers almost got Tennessee back in the game.
Reese is on another level as far as how she can change the game she almost averaged 20 pts n 20 rebounds against some good competition. She remind me of a Dewanna Bonner thin can slither to the rim but takes advantage of mismatches.
I’ll be interested to see how/if she dominates the club summer circuit again and then her senior year. The girl is a problem no doubt any school that gets her is getting some raw talent but someone with a high motor.
Our talent on the team is good as any of her other top 5 schools and she could contribute right away. Unlike people on the boneyard I don’t think she wants to be a guard so much as not relegated to the post and have an ability to be versatile. But yes our talent is up there with both SC and MD I just hope we have a coach to bring it out and develop it.
Sounds like another Joyner Holmes: a player who thinks she's a guard, but lacks the ballhandling competency and shooting range needed to actually play one at a high level.Bonner may be a good comparison down the road but she needs to improve her shooting drastically. She's best as a slasher right now and doesn't appear to have a developed midrange or perimeter shot from what I've seen.

Get thee to the paint, please!
