Mike RobinsonThe visit with Blanca Thomas and Maddy McDaniel went very well, sources tell The Ball Out. In our opinion, we believe the Lady Vols are now in the lead for McDaniel. But as with recruiting, anything can change.
Mike RobinsonYes, Lexi is real good! Also, Blanca Thomas is visiting Tennesee this weekend on an official visit, sources tell The Ball Out.
Mike RobinsonLexi Blue took an unofficial visit to Tennessee today. Sources that we have spoken with believe that the Lady Vols are near the top of her list:

Mike RobinsonAny idea where she might land?
Hey William, not sure as it’s very early in the process for her.
Mike RobinsonKaniya Boyd is in town for her official visit, multiple sources tell The Ball Out.
Mike RobinsonPitt guard, Avery “Ace” Strickland who is from Knoxville, is visiting Tennessee next Monday, sources tell The Ball Out.
Mike RobinsonAwesome to hear about Berry but weren’t we her leader already? Did things change and now she is back in the game? Also is Boyd still on the board to visit ?
No, Tennessee wasn’t the leader for her until very recently. From what I hear, yes, Boyd will still visit.
Mike Robinson2024s are starting to commit..it’s about to get crazy this month and I can’t wait👀 do you know what players Tennessee’s ’24 class is trending towards besides boyd and mcmiller?
Yes, Imari Berry. Sources tell The Ball Out that Tennessee is now the leader for Berry!
Mike RobinsonGot one! Excited about Destinee Wells! How many more might we take in the portal?
How many more? It’s hard to know for sure, but it could be anywhere between two and three or even higher.
Mike RobinsonI’ve seen a couple 24 commitments.. when do you think the dominoes will start falling for this class (not just tennessee) of people committing?
A great question, Claire! Late spring to early summer is the window when we anticipate commitments occurring. Particularly noteworthy could be Kaniya Boyd – ranked 25th in the 2024 class – potentially committing to Tennessee during her April official visit.
Mike RobinsonWith the LVs leaving how are we looking for bringing in some 24′ recruits ? Do we think we will make Kyomi’s list of finalists ….
I absolutely believe that Tennessee makes Kyomi’s final list. Just a hunch, but I think the Lady Vols are in a really good place with McMiller, but that’s just a hunch.
Mike RobinsonLast year going into the season, the NIL was average. NOW, it’s ELITE!
Mike RobinsonIs there any indication that some of the current players will transfer out?
Hey Amanda,
Outside of Marta, no.
Mike RobinsonWells is visiting Wednesday, sources tell The Ball Out.
Mike RobinsonTennessee has reached out to two of the big transfers on the market. Sources have told The Ball Out that Destinee Wells, a transfer from Belmont, was contacted by the Lady Vols a couple of days ago. It seems likely that she will make a visit to Knoxville this week. Additionally, sources have told us that Tennessee has also been in contact with Iowa State transfer Lexi Donarski. Stay tuned!
