Sarah just followed presumably today, I’m not sure when Kellie started following.

Sarah needs to think hard about UCONN. They have way too many players get injured at the start of the season and then have to sit out for the whole year, just to do a repeat with the same players a year later. There is something wrong when you lose that many players consistently. If that continues, she'll spend most of her time at UCONN rehabbing....just saying....

You are correct, she should be a Lady Vol!
Thanks!

How’d this become about UConn? What’s happened is unfortunate, so to pretend like it’s an internal issue isn’t fair to the athletes or the strength team. ACL injuries can quite literally happen to anyone at any given time.

Azzi’s Dad has spoken on this shortly after injury.

OK....yes injuries happen....but....show me one other team besides UCONN that loses that many players every year over the last few years. This is an unusually high number in a tight concentration. UCONN seems to have issues somewhere.

Seems, but do they really. There are 350 or so, division 1 women's college basketball teams. If you rank injuries, one (or more) of those teams will have the fewest injuries (that would be zero). On the other end of the list are the teams with the most injuries (theoretically, all the players could be injured). Random probability would give the these results. The question is, are these injuries random or the result of some specific actions ?
I would have to go with random probability until it can be shown that they are the result of some erroneous actions. There are too many professionals/doctors involved, to believe it's some misguided actions, rather than random probability as the reason for the injuries.

There usually is a reason, see Butch Jones circa 2016-17

She would be a STARTER AND A STAR from the second she stepped on UT's campus. Don't know if that would happen at the home school SC.

Reminded me of this

“Everybody is going to tell you in recruiting, 'Don't go to Alabama. You can play at our school before you can play there. They've got all these good players and you aren't going to be able to play while you could play at our place earlier,'” Saban said.

I hope she enters the portal and we go after her. She had 23 points and 10 rebounds against us earlier in the season. Also shoots 44% from 3

But we will have a lot of guards on the team next year--the only position where we've got a little depth. Doesn't Spear have another year if she wants it? She'd want to go to a school where she'll start.

Haley Van Lith was a star who transferred. Cordosa was "freshman of the year in the ACC" and she transferred. It's about winning, bottom line. That and the NIL.....

If you are talking about Cardoso-who in hell is Cordosa?.-she left, along with nearly the entire Syracuse team, because of an abusive coach. Revisionist history is fine,until you bump into an inconvenience such as a fact.

She could have transferred to any other school and been a starter right out of the gate. She chose South Carolina even though we were loaded even at her position....those are the facts I was referring to. You are the one who doesn't have the facts on what I was saying....but....carry on.

No....the message is about players in general. Not just about high school recruits. In this NIL and transfer era they are "recruits" though out their entire college career. It's where we are.

The message is, you’re not good enough to play there but you can come here and play. You somehow equated it transfer portal and NIL. The message was to HS kids being told they can’t play at Bama but can go to a deemed lesser school and play now. That’s the message. Feel free to pull up Saban breaking it down for further explanation.

No....You have that all wrong. The other coaches were saying 'don't go to Alabama'. That does not tell a kid "You're not good enough". It tells kids 'you are going to have way more competition and you won't have that here'. Those kids are wanting to win and telling a kid 'you're not good enough' is not going to win him or her over to that idiotic coach. ....that's why they go to Alabama as a 5 star. To win. That's why Cordoso pick South Carolina over other schools. That's why we have multiple McDonald all-American's but the top players choose to join and not go and start at another school. The entire bench would start at most power 5 schools. Tell a kid "you're not good enough to play for them so come play with us"...and see how that works out...geez....fire that coach....the NIL and transfer portal will be a factor also.

Like I said, feel free to see Saban it break down. Quote was pre NIL for the record back in 2021
