Ashlynn Shade gets visit from Tennessee; coaches pay visit to top prospects

One of the most dynamic players in the class of 2023 is Ashlynn Shade. The consensus top-5 player in the country is sought after by all of the elite programs: Tennessee, UConn, Stanford, Notre Dame, and more.

I am grateful for the opportunities and relationships basketball has provided. With that being said I have narrowed my list down to eight schools. @IGB_Hoops @IGB17uGUAA @NHSGirlsBBall pic.twitter.com/oCIVnr6bS7

Moreover, with her elite ability, IQ, and game-changing skill, one can only imagine the impact she will have once she gets to college. So, it’s no wonder why schools are making the trek to Noblesville, Indiana.

Tennessee and Vanderbilt visited Shade today, multiple sources tell The Ball Out. In addition, Lady Vols recruiting coordinator Samantha Williams used her first visit of the 2023 recruiting cycle to visit Shade. And with Williams’ elite reputation as a recruiter and coach, it says a lot that she prioritized Shade.

Always great to see one of your former players. Good to you and your family Asia. Can’t wait to see you play this WNBA season. @A_Hooper25 pic.twitter.com/Ao5evzynI2
