There is none from what I can tell. My interest in her is that even during the season I mentioned that she is a player that I would love to get out of the portal. Also the fact that she would be an amazing fit at Tennessee.

Completely true, she would dominate in our new system.

Open helps your percentage a lot more than rhythm. See Tess last year.

Disagree, but again, like you said these are just our opinions.

This appears to be a "burn the ships" situation, at least for this one year. No plan B. It will work, or it won't. We'll press for 40 minutes, fast break, 3s and layups, offense never stops moving, and take a good shot in the first 15 seconds. Like you I worry about poor shooting. Personally...

Nice visual. It's crazy that we're one post injury away from seeing Tess defending in the post for 15 minutes per game.

Spencer is a better shooter than last year's stats say she is. She played over 37 minutes per game vs SEC. No one can shoot well when they are completely gassed. Plus, after Scott was out, Spencer was the defense's primary focus and she was still the go to at the end of the shot clock. If she...

Rick Petino? I think we'll look like Ohio State on steroids.

Awesome! Thanks for your work on this. Barker being #1 is just my opinion of course.

Whitehorn, Barker, and the other elite players in the portal have to be stacking NIL deals and seeing which destination is most profitable, right? That's the only way it makes sense.

Are the (#)s some sort of ranking? If so what is the source? To me, Barker is a clear #1 in the portal this year.

If you are talking about after FTs or TOs, I don't think we will be able to do hero ball like we did with RJ. She will probably call a play with multiple scoring options and trust the team to execute.

IMO it's a move toward positionless basketball. From an offensive perspective, you will see 3 or 4 guards at all times and they will all be capable of kicking off the offense if the fast break is unproductive. I don't think you'll see us stop, find the PG, and run a set on a regular basis. It...

You still have to match up with their posts in half-court defensive situations. Incoming post defenders are: Alyssa Latham 6-2 Lazaria Spearman 6-4 Returning post defenders are: Puckett 6-2 Jill 6-5 ? Tess 6-1 ?

With this roster, Tess may be a sprained ankle away from playing post. On defense, that might not be a bad move for her.
