You realize most coaches in WBB are tough, right? Mulkey, Geno, Staley, Lawson. Look at the men’s side. This is only a topic because it’s WBB.

She’s committing to South Carolina. So, ya, everyone is getting better but Texas.

Tennessee is back in it for Oliviyah Edwards. Her camp is looking for $500,000. I expect her to go to the highest bidder.

Recruit(s)? So more freshmen?!? Texas needs more 1-2 portal players with experience, not more freshmen. This team is already too young.

A rebuilding year for Madison Booker’s senior year is criminal. If this was football, everyone would be crying if Sark was depending on a freshmen class for Arch’s last year. I love Texas. I love Vic. And I love Booker. If this is truly a “rebuild” year, she should have left and I am 100% serious.

I agree. Depending on freshmen, especially in the SEC, is risky.

Close it up and not fill roster spots?!? Especially for two starters who left?!? That means there would be four empty roster spots. So Vic isn’t thinking about injuries? Texas had three this past season and has at least one every year. Vic said he was looking for a Center and shooting guard last week before they signed Vann. Excerpt from Houston Chronicle:

Texas offered Lee an increase in NIL before she hit the portal and she still said no. TCU also offered her 600,000. She didn’t even visit. SC did not offer more than that. SC WBB doesn’t have more NIL than Texas. This isn’t MBB- Texas WBB is one of only 5-7 programs that truly invest and spend on WBB.

Sara is still helping with recruiting. Vic is really trying to get that 5th year for her. Good to see Preston. I heard last week she was staying. This is a good sign.

That’s only Big O, the biggest unsigned recruit in the nation. Vic, close the deal!

On this morning’s livestream, someone asked a super chat about Lee and WBB. Blake briefly discussed Zya’s commitment then ended with and “it sounds like another might be happening pretty soon” before Gerry started talking about Lee and SC. I wonder what OTF knows!

So you don’t keep up with South Carolina’s roster or their incoming freshmen class? She’s definitely splitting time.

It’s been reported on several Texas sites Texas offered her an increase in NIL to stay and she said no.

No one says they can’t. But they’ll be going against veteran teams that are only getting better via portal: SC, LSU, Vanderbilt, even Kentucky. And nationally, USC will be a force and if people are keeping up with the portal, Big 10 teams are stacking up. There’s also a huge difference in one freshman making a difference versus five. This isn’t MBB. If Texas WBB wants to win a National Championship, they are not doing it with Freshmen, imo.

Are you keeping up with the portal: who’s left, who’s rumored to be entering from here on out, who would be a good fit for Texas? There is nothing better than what Texas lost in the portal. And right now there, is slim pickings.

I’m almost positive Zya Vann is committing to Texas soon. She started following lots of Texas assistant coaches and players following a visit. Zya probably would have had more points at Oklahoma if Chavez passed the ball more.

Unfortunately, this is true. The #1 freshmen class isn’t helping Texas win a National Championship and Vic has done nothing to improve this team via portal. This is criminal for Maddie’s senior year. She has absolutely no weapons.

Texas is not after any of these players. Kymora Johnson is likely staying at Virginia. Brown is visiting Vanderbilt and UCLA this week.

Rumors of possible visitors this week? Besides Vann, any idea who?

Lee is currently on campus for a visit at South Carolina and plans to visit TCU later on this week.

Apparently that’s the pitch. They’re also saying she can be the face of the program.

3rd base is an issue. It also doesn’t help that she’s struggling at bat. She got her first RBI in SEC play yesterday. 7-9 in the lineup is an issue.
