With all the transfers, portal moves, and new players that will inevitably be coming in, I’ve been thinking a lot about what really defines a Lady Vols player.
Is it effort? Athleticism? Mental toughness? Loyalty to the program? The ability to rise in big moments? Or is it a combination of things? Any past Lady Vol archetypes come to mind?
I feel like this is the heart of the program — the traits that persist even when the roster changes, when coaches rotate, and when things get messy.
What do you all think? If you were selecting players that best embody the Lady Vols identity and standard, what qualities would be non-negotiable?
