Has anyone seen the twins dad last tweet, from yesterday. Basically saying with have “two”commits outside of the twins coming and he knows what’s coming to Knoxville. He sure does run his mouth a lot. But interesting tweet.

NGL Dad worries me. Interesting how quick we are to badmouth Nyla's Unc as too active in the process.

Everyone loves supportive and involved parents. But silent involvement is SO much better. It's such a thin line and can turn sour so quickly. The beginning of the downfall of Holly Warlick was several sets of very loud parents. Her lockerroom never recovered.

NGL. He would worry me if we didn’t have a coach with a backbone.

Holly or Kellie? Mess.

Pat or Kim? Handled.

How has Kim handled any obnoxious family members like Pat yet ? That's a bit of stretch and disrespectful to the greatest coach of all time. Kim has not done or earned anything yet , to even be considered ahead of Francis or Jolly .

Literally coached Hayes sister last year and by all accounts managed that train wreck of a family well.

Literal 1-1 comparison to how that went for Holly.

LMAO omg your pulling for straws now lol so are you saying Kim is a better coach because she let pot smokers play for her team instead of enforcing the standard team policies ? LOL see how its that easy ?

Successfully coaching Hayes Inc is a plus, but OTOH maybe after 10 yrs of mayhem and now running out of eligible daughters they're finally just worn down

Rereading the tweet tho, I do think Dad was talking about the twins.

Then we're happy w what we got, we're hoping for good things, esp some size, in the portal, and we're back to the familiar territory of doing more w less to prove ourselves to the big dog recruits.

An overview of the reality in the significant improvement of Tennessee’s recruiting since Coach Caldwell took the job in April:

Added 5 players with starter’s experience via the portal.

Receive commitments from a Top 10 recruit and Top 50 recruit in High School.

Retained the core of returnees including three former starters from last season and added a Top 15-20 and Top 30 recruit off redshirt seasons.

Tennessee does not have less on this year’s roster. All it takes from any competent observer to do is look at the practice footage. In the previous 4-5 seasons, the practices never looked this competitive.

This is new territory for everyone, because the twins--with their corporate endorsements and media properties--are already an established, family business. Those are legal matters, not (or, not just) personality issues.

The point person on this players' parent relationship I expect would be the UTAD and their lawyers, rather than the head coach.

It's a new world, and Danny has the benefit of old school roots (his father's AD career) to go with a forward-thinking attitude. If anyone is going to create success during this period of college sports, he's the one to bet on.

Mia and Mya Pauldo have pretty much always prove their father words to be true. Look at their track record of success. You can’t fault a man for supporting his own when its facts. I don’t see it as boasting either. I think he genuinely pours his all into their family and it’s a sincere love and passion that drives this family through their experiences in the game of basketball. They are defying the odds as being labeled for their size. Everyone doesn’t understand that kind of uphill battle.
I know it rubs certain people the wrong way but that seems to be more of a personal flaw of the folks offended than their dad.
He says things publicly about his kids that MOST if not all parents say about theirs off the record that are highly known sports figures.
