Kim Caldwell and Lady Vols basketball have locked in an official visit date with one of the top recruits in the 2026 cycle, according to 247. Gabby Minus will be on campus the first weekend of October. This lines up with Tennessee football’s bye week on its schedule.
Minus released her top five schools, including Tennessee, in July. The Lady Vols are joined by Baylor, Georgia, Clemson and Florida on the list, with each getting an official visit. Her trip to Knoxville is the second-to-last of the string, with Georgia getting the final say.
Minus stands at 6-foot-1 out of Dacula, Georgia. According to 247, she is the No. 3 player from the state and the No. 38 player in the country. 247 composite rankings have her at five-star status, as well. She is listed by 247 as a power forward and On3 as a shooting guard. Her athleticism and size give her the chance to play multiple positions, which would work well under Caldwell.

“Minus has progressed into one of the Southeast region’s premier options at the forward position,” 247’s Brandon Clay wrote. “Minus had her versatility on display this fall as a member of the Overtime Select League. Her ability to make open 3-pointers while serving as a presence on the glass is a tough combination. Minus has the skill combination to be a consistent threat on both ends of the floor. In the modern game, Minus projects as a third or fourth basketball handler offensively. Continuing to convert the open 3-pointer at a 34 percent or higher rate is a big key to her future success. I expect that to be a focus during her rehab progression as Minus will miss an extended period of time with a lower leg injury.”
Along with her time with Hebron Christian Academy, she also plays for Team Curry, a GUAA team sponsored by NBA superstar Steph Curry.
Tennessee currently holds no commitments in the 2026 class, but the inclusion in Minus’ top five is a good sign, especially considering the late surge to enter. The Lady Vols only offered Minus on June 24. In that short time, the first impressions have been enough to be seriously considered, though.
Other targets to know as Tennessee looks to sign another impressive class are Olivyah Edwards, Brihanna Crittendon, Addison Bjron, Jacy Abii, Trinity Jones and Bella Flemming, among others.
