Summary

Tennessee Lady Vols reload their roster with elite shooters and frontcourt depth under Kim Caldwell’s ambitious rebuild. Riley Theauerkauf, Avery Mills, and Naomi White headline the transfer portal haul, bringing high-percentage three-point shooting and dynamic scoring, while Zhen Craft and Harper Peterson add size and versatility. Can this mix restore the Lady Vols’ former SEC dominance after last season’s upheaval? Eric Cain breaks down the Lady Vols’ new lineup, key transfer targets, and the tough departure of top recruit Olivia Edwards. On the men’s side, Rick Barnes aggressively shapes Tennessee Basketball’s roster with new additions like Dai Dai Ames, Tyler Lundblade, and shot-blocker Miles Rubin, while big names such as Juke Harris and Terrance Hill Jr. and Jalen Haralson consider making Knoxville home. Plus, special guest Spencer McLaughlin joins to discuss Jim Knowles and the revamped Tennessee defense could become the Vols’ X-factor in the race for SEC football glory.

You are Locked on Balls, your daily podcast on the Tennessee Volunteers, part of the Locked On Podcast Network, your team every day. Yes, happy Thursday, everybody, and welcome in to it. Lock-on Falls, I am your host, Eric King. Got a fun show coming up here today. Spencer McLaughlin coming up from Lockdown College Football in segment number three. I joined some of his shows, and he joined my bonus show yesterday to talk about Tennessee quarterbacks and the Tennessee defense. We'll reset that conversation and we'll talk Tennessee defense in segment number three. We're going to reset the Tennessee basketball transfer portal board. Who's on campus? Who's planning to come to campus? Who's on the team? Who's on the team? Who are some targets for Rick Barnes and the transfer portal? We'll do the same for Kim Caldwell and the Lady Vols. But first, our conversation starts with a new Lady Vols commit, Riley Turcough.

0:58.1

And this is the second coming from Georgia.

1:01.7

Of course, Georgia also, you know, picked up the transfer portal committee of ZenCraft earlier this week.

1:08.0

And obviously, Tennessee goes out, Lady Balls, Kim Caldwell goes out and gets an assistant

1:12.0

coach from Georgia, Coach Ease, and brings her over here.

1:17.4

And so, you know, it doesn't, it's not shocking to see some players want to follow the assistant

1:23.1

coach that likely had a big hand of recruiting these players to Georgia.

1:26.9

And now joining Kim Caldwell's team here with Lady Balls, the rebuilt Lady Balls.

1:31.3

Tercoff comes to Georgia by way of Wake Forest,

1:35.2

and she's going to have one year of eligibility remaining,

1:37.6

two years at Wake Forest, one year at Georgia,

1:40.3

and again, this kind of fits the mold in what we've seen from,

1:47.7

what we've seen from Kim Colbo in the transfer portal so far.

1:54.1

Shooters. Shooters. Three point shooters. She was George's best three point shooter last year,

2:03.6

hitting 71 three-pointers at a 40.6 percent clip. Again, you're anywhere close to like being 100 in the century mark and three pointers. That is really, really good. I understand she's 29 away here, but 71's a big number.

2:09.6

And so you get a three-point shooter that can really knock it down.

2:12.6

40.6% clip. She's 5'9 combo guard. Average 11.9 points scored in double figures in nine of her

2:20.2

final 12 games. She had two games where she made five three-pointers and at least 20 points in that span.

2:27.9

Again, played her first two seasons at Wake Forest before transferring to Georgia for the 2025-20206 campaign.

2:35.4

Started 23 of 29 games at Wake Forest as a sophomore, where she averaged 12 points per game.

2:41.6

So again, that's the newest commit for the Lady Balls, at least by the time of this recording.
