rebelman101 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 on Vol Nation, multiple people said that her family are Bama fans, so this is not a surprise. Belmont and Alabama were her first offers. Kellie Harper did recruit her but in the end Karly saw herself being at Alabama. The way that the transfer portal is dominating the college basketball scene, who knows? She may transfer after 1 or 2 years..... you never know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her older brother did commit to Vanderbilt. So, her and her family may not be Tennessee fans. Vanderbilt and Tennessee baseball two different animals when he went to Vanderbilt. If I had a child that was getting D-1 offers, I wouldn’t send her to play basketball at Tennessee right now.

Just saying that they might not be Volunteer fans. Also, Harper isn’t obligated to recruit the best talent in Tennessee. If she believes player A is better than Weathers, then she feels like she has to do what’s best for the program. Recruiting in basketball is different than football.

The process of getting to where you wish to be in baseball and basketball are completely different. Baseball has many different pathways according to talent and maturity... some kids are better off going to a community college first, some to a major college program, and some straight to the pro ranks. If you can secure a good signing bonus/contract, the minor league system develops players just as does the academic route, without the "distraction" of maintaining grades. Vanderbilt IMO, is the premier program for pitchers (in the educational system) in the entire country, but if you're an obvious MLB caliber player with a lucrative contract offer, why not get paid? Basketball kids have the one obvious pathway, and outliers (especially female) are a rarity. The Weathers' have more experience in making these decisions than 99.9 percent of the population, and I'd bet that matching up her talent with opportunity and environment had more to do with the 'Tide signing her than just fandom. From a dyed in the wool orange fan, I truly wish her the best... she's earned it. Edited April 13, 2021 by tradertwo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
