It’s a little cult around here they all gas each other up and clasp their pearls if anyone dares have a differing opinion.

Hysterical most of the time. They have a hard time with me because I refuse to conform.

Should have been around when Maria was here, now THAT was a trip. Talk about a cult…

I can tell.
I don’t understand the logic of certain posters. It’s strange that a 2025 recruiting thread instantly gets thrown off-topic when discussing the performances of two 2025 LV HS commits that won the inaugural OT Select Championship as team captains.
Several posters that constantly spew rhetoric about recruiting elite HS prospects when it fits their agenda have remained silent. Fans? How?

Back to the game yesterday, it changed in DD's favor in the 4th when Harpring took over the defense of the ISO pg that was their star. imho

S/O to all eight players on Double Dynasty. Harping was guarding that player when ISO pushed their lead to double digits in the 3rd qtr.. I don’t see that as the turning point. When the offense was being facilitated by Mia in the half court and they pushed the tempo getting out in transition in the 4th that’s when the game changed. It was a total team effort. The Pauldo twins were guarding players on defense with a 5 or more inch height advantage and still causing havoc on defense. That’s elite!

you need to watch the replay again. Harpring only guarded Smith as the primary defender on two possessions in the 3rd Qt. In the 4th she shut her down completely. and went off on offense to get DD on a row.

I watched the entire game don’t need to see the replay. You can’t even talk about DD defensive performance without starting with the Pauldo twins. They controlled the tempo on both ends of the court. Again, S/O to all eight players on DD.

I'm not shorting the twins or anyone else. Just stating the fact that it was KH who shut down the pg for ISO in the 4th Qt. The film doesn't lie. Too bad you are too blind to see it.. lol

You’re definitely invested. Carry on as you see fit.

First post from another investor since DD team captains led their team to the inaugural OT Select Championship. I can find several posts talking about the twins performance in this same tournament.
Carry on. I knew before long the opportunity to boast about any player not connected at the moment to Tennessee would break your silence lol.

Dude read the story. Mya said it herself! She very graciously says they needed more size on that pg, who btw is also 5’5 I believe. How delusional can you be?

Harping was the defensive stopper and MVP. Since it’s not a zero sum game, that takes nothing away from the twins who were also outstanding. Why is that so hard to process?

Stop being so dang rationale :p. The rabid attacks by the other poster on any post that doesn't 100% stick to the narrative that the twins are the best and there is no room for other to shine would only make sense if they are a relative, an obsessive (twins, twins, twins....nothing but the twins), or that they are a relative/obsessive of CKC thinking that every decision she makes is the best ever. By the way, I really like CKC so far and am pleased about the twins.

Two things can be true...Mya Pauldo did a great job on Kaleena "Special K" Smith in the first half and Kate Harping did a phenomenal job guarding her in the fourth quarter.

Kate Harping deserved the MVP because like I said before...she does it all. Whatever you ask she can do it.

Great team effort by Double Dynasty.

Tennessee fans should all be smiling from ear to ear because The Pauldo Twins really talk that talk and walk that walk even at 5'5!

I think they will be able to attract other big time players to come play at Tennessee.

I can tell some of you haven't done your research/homework on the Pauldo Twins or their father! Coach Kim runs a system that's right up the Twins alley. They pick people up full court press style in high school already so it's a perfect fit at Tennessee. As far as their dad goes, he pushes them in the right way. He believes in them when nobody else doesn't because he knows what they are capable of. Mia Pauldo has cooked some of the best players in high school. Malaysia Fulwiley was one of them! Do your research. Mya Pauldo is extremely good defensively. She has checked some of the top ranked guards in the country. So quit trying to discredit them. They got an OVERTIME SELECT Tournament going on in September for those who don't know. The Twins team is called Double Dynasty. They are already 2-0..Deniya Prawl & Kate Harping are their teammates. Everybody respects the TWINS. They really scare people because they are Dawgs!

First off, he's a great father! He's not like Nyla's Uncle. These two are very different. One has an approach of what have you done for me lately and the other one is more like...let's go take what's ours.

DJ Pauldo...coaches and trains his girls to go take what's theirs despite their shortcomings in everything they do. He's hard on them because he knows what they are capable of and by the way he's a darn good AAU coach.

He lets coaches do their thing but he will get on his girls or other players if they aren't being DAWGS on both ends of the floor.

His interactions with his girls are incredible especially when they are playing in a game.

He'll tell Mia to take over the game or tell Mya to go guard the best player on the opposing team.

Like he knows what they are capable of!

As far as NIL goes..He created their brand and it's only going to take off here at Tennessee. Everybody who comes in contact with them..they love them.

He's done a great job with them.

I wonder if their mother has anything to do with how well they've been raised?

Same approach they wanted to take with Ruby Whitehorn but she had other plans. It turned out in getting one of “these” for Coach Caldwell. Since April, Coach Caldwell has signed and gotten verbal commitments from a handful of “these”. CKC, Coach Lazo, and Coach Tubner are playing chess not checkers.

We're talking about hs recruiting. This staff, like the last one, has had success in portal recruiting. Now we need to break the ice in hs recruiting. Maybe the twins are it, I sure hope so. Just not 100% convinced.

This doesn't sound like "letting" the coach do their thing. ESPECIALLY getting on other players. We've been down that horrible road here before, absolutely poisoned the culture.

But I also expect the Dad has been around enough to know at the elite college level, he has to completely turn the reigns over. Most especially in public. I'm sure expectations were made clear to him before the twins were signed.
