Wes Moore, it's just that easy. He's a TN alumni, I feel pretty confident he'd come home.

Wasn’t interested previously. They treat him well there.

Didn’t go to UT. Went to Johnson Bible College.

Look at UCONN they’ve been injury prone all year and look where they’re at now

Okay, outside of Tennessee fandom, there is a pretty clear consensus that Geno is the GOAT among women's coaches. If you go by wins, titles, and final fours, no one is close.

So, news flash the greatest coach of all time has built a team that can weather injuries better than most others and in other news water is also wet.

Among mere mortals, how far did Kenny Brooks get without Kitley?

No one is claiming that Kellie = Geno

Play easy schedule, get bounced early. Not sure that’ll help the cause either.

I know you like to spin but for the record, Kellie has not said a word about about an easier schedule. this idea is just more board nonsense. I expect that Kellie will continue the tradition of a strong pre-conference schedule.

Her success in the portal and the improvement curve of returning players will determine whether that is savvy or suicidal.

Did you read the thread or just jump in when you saw space? Shame on you. You should know where I stand on the Tennessee brand, no spin. Wouldn’t be the first time this week you didn’t follow along.

Yeah, I get what you are saying. I think the lack of getting a few of those type players though has put us in being very portal reliant the last few years. Ideally, you only want to be only portal reliant if you are a brand new coach trying to get the basis of winning started.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see how the portal turns out.

and thats why it is so important to recruit HS,,,girls like that come in like that!,,and stay like that.

The disgruntled ones and the opportunity-seekers will be in the portal,,,,we need them right from the gitgo

Personally, I'd like to see Kellie get next year -- IF she hasn't already filled the schedule for next season similarly to how it was filled this season.

A hard lesson was taught this past season, scheduling-wise, and if the staff makes the adjustment to start slow and easy in hopes of building momentum instead of risking another early crash and burn situation, this time next season could be a happier time for the program.

Ideally, to me, she'd also have her first season of fully healthy players from start to finish. I'd sooooo love to see how much difference that could make as well. Of course, regardless of scheduling, a big improvement may not be possible unless both Key and Spear return, if Destinee Wells is 100% ... AND we have good luck with the portal.

I'd just really love her to get one more chance, but this time without so many cards stacked against her from the start.

If that makes me stupid to some here, I really don't care. I just know there won't be anyone on the planet who will love the program more than Kellie, and I'd like to give her one more shot.

Love you, Kellie! 🧡

Doubt it’s published. We shall see but if it’s what she says it is they aren’t going to publish it without comment from Mulkey or they will indeed get sued and likely lose.

You can’t publish a one sided hit piece with no facts and only a “she said” narrative. They have started doing so in the MSM for several years. Much to the detriment and integrity of journalism. It’s all about trying to cancel people.

Mulkey is smart enough or well advised enough to know she needs to say nothing and they can do nothing.

Also hard to roll with the narrative as it clearly isn’t affecting her recruiting.

We know she’s kicked people off her teams, out of gyms, held people accountable etc. I’m sure there are lots of hurt feelings in Mulkey’s wake. But there are also a lot of wins and several championships. She’s a holdover from Pat type coaches who aren’t afraid to be a leader and put the hammer down.

In this day and age Pat would have had her own hit piece published about her. Some of the funny anecdotes in her book would be cancel worthy today. Like screaming at the manager who she thought was Abby Conklin who had gained weight over the summer. Things like that lol

Isn't Finley Chastain just a freshman? I don't think her recruitment should be a factor.

There is no way to know how kids that young are actually gonna turn out anyway. I think she’s got a ton of potential but signing someone before puberty is always a roll of the dice.

Anyone remember the Newman girl social media thought would be the next big star? And then she never grew over 5’1” but developed very large breasts and that was it for her ball career.
