Oliviyah Edwards is set to be the most exciting women's basketball recruit to arrive in Knoxville in a long time.
And oh yeah, the Tennessee Volunteers' women's basketball commit can dunk.
A one-handed slam that the 6-foot-3 Edwards had over the summer is making the rounds again on social media this week. Edwards still has a year of high school left, but apparently people are getting pumped about the upcoming college hoops season and already looking ahead.

Edwards is a five-star recruit from Tacoma, Washington.
The 247Sports Composite ranks her as the No. 5 recruit in the country in the Class of 2026.
She took her other three official visits to powerhouses South Carolina, LSU and USC.
From there, she chose Tennessee, which she visited on Sept. 12.
The Vols have a proud history, of course, including an in-game dunker, Candace Parker.
They've maintained a solid program but haven't competed for national championships of late. Edwards could be the player who helps change that. She'll also draw plenty of attention if she can dunk like that in college action, too.
