I wonder how our NIL situation would be if we had maintained separate athletic departments.
Joan Cronan focused 100% of the time on the women’s teams and seemed to have very good relationships wit wealthy donors.
You have to wonder if someone shows up with an offer of a big check does DW suggest LVs NIL or improvements to Neyland.

The SEC was arguably the best conference in men’s basketball this season, and Barnes led us to a regular season title. The mental gymnastics you’re playing here is incredible.

Another swing, another miss. I understood your point. It was just wasn’t a very good point. You are consistent, though. I’ll give you that.

You are defending Barnes so no, you did not get my point. Nice try though.

What are your expectations for Tennessee? Are you content with current benchmark of Top 3-4 finishes and Sweet 16s?

No should win the SEC at least once in four seasons and also the Tourney. At least one final four in four seasons. We can't expect to be what we were, but we can't be unranked third of fourth place finisher every season. We should be a ranked top 15 team every season. Eight losses or less every season.

Kellie has said herself many times her goal is returning to final fours and nattys. Listen to the JP podcast just posted. It’s what Kellie told her. Obviously that goal is not being met yet. But not sure why we act like the goal is a mystery.

We all know the goals that are acceptable and that is why were where we are debating the five seasons of Coach Kellie. No doubt in my mind she is working hard to get it done can she is the big question? We fell short on the rebounding and post play more than anything this year. If she could've found a couple players to do the job there I believe things would definitely be way different.

Are you talking about when Kellie got hired and had two months to recruit ?

Or the next year when Covid created no in person visits ?

Or maybe the first true year of recruiting when we got Puckett , Striplin, Wynn , I believe they were ranked in the top 15 recruiting classes ?

Are these the classes you are talking about ? 🤷‍♂️

And oh by the way … Holingshead came a year later saying she was interested the year before but Covid would not let her visit ! I wonder how that might of affected our top 15 class to have added a McDonalds all American to that class ? Just saying 🤷‍♂️

These are the 20, 21, 22 years you are talking about ! Just saying 😁

And NOW WE HAVE NIL….

Holly didn't take advantage of the All Americans
Who came to Tennessee after Pat Summit last Two championships seasons
It's hard to Follow a legendary coach you say.
But the All Americans came to Tennessee because of that IIn no small part..

Kellie would take the ALL Americans Over the state of the program Holly left Kellie with.
It was easier to recuit starting afterwards of Pat Summit Era vs Holly Warlick Era.

How so? She has E8’s on her resume. 2014 SECT Title. So again, when all excuses fail, blame Holly.

SEC today is an easier league than what it was under Warlick.

Holly deserve credit for helping coach Pat Summit last few years where her health was going Down hill.
But seven years after Summit compair To Kellie no in person recruiting/COVID-19/NIL Five years is not equal.
Its favors
Holly over Kellie on fair chance.
Tme no doubt Seven years is longer than five.
Besides the new COVID-19/NIL World we all Live in now

Can’t discredit the others if you’re putting value in “years”. Especially if the one you’re questioning/comparing already did more in 5 years following the legend than the one who followed the one fired. All CKH had to do was be better than Holly.

Holly worst year Is worst than kelie first Round NCAA tournament loss and she's been tied for eight place SEC schedule.

Time will till if Kellie equal or better Holly high water mark of final eight NCAA tournament Teams.
If Kellie coaches seven years On rocky top.

Or if she has a first round NCAA tournament loss like Holly

Kellie has yet to capture Hollys best year(s) and Kellie won’t in 7 years do what Holly did. Again, the league is easier now than what it was pre-portal/NIL and whatever spin is needed
