It’s a legitimate debate because multiple variables are at play. Recruiting is so much more complex than it was when Pat coached. Even when Holly coached. That’s how much it’s changed. Also, more schools have top-notch programs than they did in previous years, so more competition for players. It hasn’t helped our program that so much of our fan base went after Holly, a true LVFL, with fangs out, that disgruntled players who went to the portal trashed our program, that coaches at other schools still try to scare parents into thinking their daughters will be pressured to be lesbians if they come to our program, that our coaches always play by the rules ( a good thing, but makes it harder to compete), that our program is transparent that it is about more than basketball, that Kellie asked not to be compared to Pat, yet…., that this generation of players did not grow up with the Lady Vols dynasty, that some players want to stay in their home states to play, that players’ high school coaches are offered financial incentives to get their players to schools, etc., etc.,
