2024 TRANSFER TRACKER

[VolBall09]

Are we recruiting her?

She committed to Kentucky and I do not think we would recruit her anyway. Sweet kid like her sister, I’m sure.

But she averaged 2pts and 2rebs over two seasons at UNC. The player we just picked up played them same position in the same league much more successfully and as a true freshman.

Key is not much of a get for Kentucky.

 

[House|RockyTop]

Thank you! Let’s go! Can’t wait for next season.

It’s the same people brining her up and rubbing her in peoples faces who then get bent out of shape if you point out obvious shortcomings.

Clearly we are on to better things.

Jewels tweet makes me think we have another committed already and I do think it’s Nye. No matter what the negative Nancy squad says lol.

Spearman??? Come on down young lady. Let’s go!

Alyssa Latham even after one season of basketball is better than every player Kentucky has signed outside of Georgia AMoore who is not going to carry KY the way her and Kitley did at VT with a better supporting cast.
Yet a fan or two on VN/Twitter keep talking about any signing KY gets as if they are going to be a Top SEC team, while acting like UT needs every top player in the portal.
Everybody behind SC is starting off with a chance but it is ironic how some people always try to dim the light of Tennessee following the renewed energy and excitement of the new era.

The family loves Kellie. Teonni wouldn’t come here after Kellie left.

That’s a good thing then. They can love Kellie from afar and we can recruit players that want to be at Tennessee. We can get those 2 pts elsewhere

She was injured alot wasn’t she? She committed before the new staff was in place as well.

Pretty confusing to me. I haven’t seen one thing Brooks has done at Kentucky that was surprising or would be thrilling if he were in Knoxville.

Everyone and their dog knew Amoore would follow him.

Strack isn’t going to do very well in the SEC. She is slightly more physical than Kitley but she’s not super athletic. She’s going to get that little turn around swatted most of the time in this league. She was playing behind Kitley and averaged 4pts and 4rebs. After Kitley’s injury she did step up in the tourney and had two nice games but both were against very undersized teams in Baylor and Marshall.

He also didn’t manage to retain any of the Kentucky players who had already entered the portal. Can you imagine if that was CKC? Everyone would have flipped out. Nine players leaving after he took the job. Some here would have you believe that is Kenny doing a good job and turning over the roster (but dear God, don’t mention that for us).

Right now Kentucky can’t even run a practice.

Again, I do not think we would have recruited her anyhow.

She was injured coming out of high school and took a redshirt year. It took her a while to rehab back but she was healthy all season this year. Just doesn’t do much out there.

It is 100% fact now that The Ball Out Sports is heavily anti-Coach Caldwell and LVs at this point. They always jump out every 30 seconds of any announcement of players commitment talking about “insiders” knew!
Since Alyssa Latham commitment they have not said one word about Tennessee!

But let them tell it, every decent player for about a week that committed to another team was considering UT lol. You can not make this stuff up. But we just found out the people that were once closely affiliated with UT that are associated with that site for sure.

They lost their sources at UT and they are mad. That’s my theory and I’m sticking to it. Maria is going to go full scorched earth if she gets squeezed out and she should.

I think it’s BS that she has made a living for 25+ years peddling insider lady vol information through her paywall sites. It’s time for her to get a real job or do some real journalism.

I’m not sure how much she’ll be pushed out. Lazo is already following her on IG. Thought that was interesting..,

He’s a really genuine guy and he’s doing his job. He connected with a bunch of local media his first week in Knoxville. Not just Maria. I think she’s just one of many now, she’s not getting the information anymore or she would be posting about it. She can’t help it.

 

[House|RockyTop]

I do not think a follow on social media is a nod of approval.
Could be just to see what kind of info about the program that person is putting out. I mean, the news kind of leaked from Skim page and not a UT writer so it seems they are not getting inside info.
Hence, why after hours and hours The Ball Out has not made an announcement about Alyssa Latham signing with UT.

True, I think she’ll still be around not completely pushed out but maybe not as in as she was before.

Based on how White runs the athletic department I do not think she will be paling around the halls like she used to.

It was pretty clear that even Kellie was tired of her. She was often short with her in pressers and they made her go first and limited her to one question.

Again, what bothers me is that she considers herself a journalist but was mostly reduced to selling gossip through a paywall. Also cannot deal with any critical thought or objectivity that challenges her world view.

I would guess she’s on the autism spectrum somewhere. Very odd woman.

 

[Mafiaboss]

Are we recruiting her?

No, but I see a scenario where if Kellie had been retained, TK may have been back and Teonni may have come our way.

Holly recruited her. She was ready to come here and then coaching change, wanted to stay close to home.

She has a full-time day job.

 

[VolBall09]

No, but I see a scenario where if Kellie had been retained, TK may have been back and Teonni may have come our way.

And what, dare I ask, would that have done for us?

Returning Kellie, a hampered TK who could only manage about 15 quality minutes per game and her sister’s 2pts and 2rebs was NOT going to equate to a more successful season than 23-24.



Probably would have added a couple UTK transfers like Scheer and Petty and been bottom half of the SEC.

That was not going to be a pretty roster.

Nine players leaving after he took the job

Most left before he got the job. They left immediately after Kyra got fired.

Correct. Maria has been a writer for Moxley Carmicheal, a local PR/Communications firm for years. Her LV stuff is a sideline for her.

Wow. I'm no Maria fan, but as usual for this poster the cruelty is the point.

 

[SGMVols]

No, but I see a scenario where if Kellie had been retained, TK may have been back and Teonni may have come our way.

TK’s decision to leave the program was about her health, not the coaching change. Notice she neither entered the portal nor the draft. She medically retired.

 

[VolBall09]

Not sure how she manages given the amount of time it must take her to keep up with blocking people she’s never even interacted with on the internet.

She has a full-time day job.

It’s been a sideline for the last decade since she stopped being able to get good inside information she could sell. Notice the timing? I’ve been around a long time.

I’m just reporting facts. I didn’t say it’s what I wanted to happen. Teonni was in the top 20, maybe even ranked in the top 10 ( can’t remember right now) recruits for her class. When she went to NC I was like, nope, CB can’t develop players. Then Teonni got hurt before she played a second for them. It was a hard recovery. Etc.

CB is probably on a short leash. Her misuse of talent is criminal.

How are complete hypotheticals facts?
