Kim Caldwell and Lady Vols basketball have landed the commitment of one of their top targets in the 2026 class, Gabby Minus. On Saturday, she announced her commitment to Tennessee over the likes of Baylor and Florida. Georgia and Clemson were also previously considered.
Minus is considered a four-star prospect and the No. 44 recruit in the country, according to 247’s rankings. She is the No. 13 power forward and No. 4 player from the state of Georgia. Out of Dacula, the same town current Lady Vol Zee Spearman is from, she plays for Hebron Christian Academy.
Minus, standing at 6-foot, took a visit to see the Lady Vols in the opening weekend of October. This was during the bye week on the Tennessee football schedule. She was the only official visitor in town for the program that weekend.

“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.
The Lady Vols currently hold one other commitment in the 2026 class. Oliviyah Edwards, the No. 2 overall recruit according to ESPN, picked Tennessee during her official visit in September. UT is also in the running for five-star prospect Bri Crittendon and is creating strong ties in the upcoming 2027 cycle.
