Tennessee has been flirting with elite the past couple of seasons, but looks like Harper officially has them back squarely in that category

New recruits for next year are transfers Rickea Jackson, Jasmine Powell, Jasmine Franklin, and now Jillian Hollingshead; freshmen Justine Pissot and walk-on Edie Darby; and 2 previous starters back from injury, Jordan Horston and Marta Suarez. That's a pretty impressive way to improve your roster in the off-season.

I know Bendu and six others are transferring from Arizona but have there been any announcements of transfers to the program?

No. They're sitting at 9 players for next year.

With Watson, Ebo, and Brown, ND has pretty much filled up it's main needs for next year (although I'd like to have one more, probably a guard who shoots 3s, just for a little more bench depth).
Two posts to replace Dodson and add depth to the position (and allow time to ease Marshall back into the game from her recovery, if need be), and a true PG to backup Miles? Yes please!

a bit of a surprise. I guess she wants to be the centerpiece without needing to share the glory. Is that an unfair characterization? I mean next year she will share with Kitley.

Who knows? That may be a bit of a stretch, but I can see kids like Angel Reese or Shakira Austin preferring to be Bigger Fish in Smaller Ponds, so maybe Ashley, too? And even at that, who's to say that isn't valid or fair reason enough? They'd certainly not be the first college athletes in that category.
Interestingly, tho....I can't think of a P5 collegiate coach who's lost more Big Talent than Brenda over the last few years. These 3 kids have just followed in the path of kids like Shatori, Destiny, Taylor and others. But she's also had kids that have stayed the course AND become wnba stars of varying degree: Toliver, Coleman, Langhorn, Thomas, Hawkins, et al.)

I see Chanaya Pinto, a juco transfer to OR last year, has landed at Penn St.
I liked what I saw of the kid: she played in every game at OR during her only year there, with her minutes decreasing as PaoPao and Rogers came back, but I really liked her defensive hustle.
Though her a/to ratio was slightly negative, and her free throws were abysmally low, she's got a lot of potential. Oughtta be a good fit!

I could be wrong, but ISTM that Brenda has lot more big talent in recent years than she used to, and I'm wondering if she might be recruiting without consideration to how the individual players will fit together, or into her program. Which also makes me wonder, does she have a specific program? Many coaches have a way they want things done on and off court, an attitude towards not only basketball but school and life, if you will.Pat Summitt was pretty strict about the way her players behaved on and off the court, and you had to be all in. I remember a few players who ran afoul of that and it wasn't real pleasant for them for a few minutes. But those who stayed became successful. I'm pretty sure Tara and Dawn are pretty much the same, as are others, especially long-time successful coaches. Most of them seem to give some pretty serious consideration to how players are going to fit into the program. Brenda has had so much drama and so many big time transfers with hers lately that she's beginning to remind me of Holly Warlick.

Shatori is one of the those that stayed at Maryland until the end. Lexi Brown, Jenna Stati, and Natasha Cloud all transfer from Maryland.

Abby Prohaska from ND to San Diego State. Didn't see that coming - the SDSU, I knew she was in the portal.

Not really. A lot of the "stars" are taking their talents back home or closer to home this year.
She'll be alright. Reese is the last one still standing.
