Lady Vols basketball has already officially added eight transfers and two high school signees, but they aren’t done just yet this offseason. Currently, Tennessee is hosting Texas forward Aaliyah Moore for a visit, she announced on her Instagram story.
Moore stands at 6-foot-1 and played forward for the Longhorns. The Lady Vols have stocked up on guard commits so far, but are still looking to add to Kim Caldwell’s frontcourt in her third year leading the program.
This past season, Moore did not play and was not very involved with the Texas program. She was recovering from a knee surgery that held her out of the season.
The season prior, Moore played in and started 19 games, but the year was cut short by tendonitis in her right knee. She averaged 7.9 points per game that year on 47.3% shooting from the field and was 0-for-5 on threes. She also averaged 4.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game.

As a junior in the 2023-24 campaign, Moore earned a spot on the All-Big 12 Second Team and Big 12 All-Tournament Team while appearing in 33 games and starting 19. She averaged 11.3 points and 6.1 rebounds on 52.9% shooting from the field and 28.6% from range.
The year prior, as a sophomore, she played in the first nine games of the year before suffering a season-ending knee injury on Dec. 11 against Alabama State. That time, it was an ACL injury that shut her down.
As a freshman in the 2021-22 season, she appeared in 28 games and had nine starts. She averaged 6.0 points on 51.3% shooting and 3.1 rebounds.
Moore was extremely highly recruited out of high school, as well. From Moore, Oklahoma, she was a McDonald’s All-American in 2021, a two-time Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year and ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the country for the 2021 class by espnW.
