Europe Trip

[Volfan2012]

Next team we play is a lot better let's hope we can have the same result we had in this one as far as getting on the boards and balancing the scoring.

Wonder how Jordan’s game went?

 

[Volfan1017]

I know it doesn't mean much, but the starters were: Zaay, Massengill, Kasi, Rennia, and Jaiden.

Interesting that Jaiden started. I think she can really help us this year.

I loved how Kellie kept focusing and imparting things that were important she just didn’t move on but she let them know this is a big deal now do it and also she said everybody wants more minutes so when you get in DO something with the minutes

This is from a poster on Instragram a couple minutes of action and some really excellent coaching from our coach.

Am I the only one who didn't see jordan playing at all? Is she injured?

 

[Ladyvol777]

Love the highlights, Wow Kellie sure had them going and the instructions she was giving give this lady vol fan some great vibes. As always go lady vols.

 

[Bulldog_Vol]

I absolutely love how Kellie continued teaching and pointing out bad habits even though they were up big the entire game. It really is a breath of fresh air.

She did not play.

 

[Volfan1017]

She did not play.

Do you know why?

 

[creekdipper]

Great communication among LV teammates.

Really like Kellie's combination of calm with controlled urgency. Clear challenges and goals communicated effectively.

Liked the group shot with both teams.

Hope Jordan is okay.

46 to 17 at the half over the Dutch score posted on facebook. Says Jordan and Rennia Davis look amazing.

So Jordan didn’t play did you mean Jaiden or did the Vols post about Jordan?

 

[GameTime]

Kellie did more coaching in that short segment, than Holly ever did for the season...

Interesting, yes, with so much promise in the two, six-five freshmen.
Of course, the starting lineup could have one, or more changes for the next game. I suspect no position (well, probably Rennia and Kasi are practically secure) is set in stone; plus, Jordan Horston is hopefully, temporarily set back with minor illness/injury, and will be good to go this weekend.
Meanwhile, we have this more experienced player, herself at six-three, so no huge sacrifice in height (which, incidentally the other team lacked). And, this player, Jaiden McCoy, has likely set out to prove her new head coach, very wise for scouting, then signing her this spring. She just appears determined not to be a roster filler, but, as you put it, ready to “really help us this year.” And next year ...and possibly the next.

Per Emily’s Dad, she had 6 points as well

My feeling is that if Tennessee wanted us to know why Jordan didn’t play, we’d know. Maybe she was sick or hurt, or maybe she broke a rule or something and had to sit one out. Either way, it might be best just to move on and cross our fingers we’ll see her next game.

In the highlight reel, she looked to be setting a nice screen and then rolling to basket.

Who knew these girls could be taught to set screens. Maybe we will see a real offense.

I think you're right. What I like about JUCO Transfers is that they typically are the hardest workers on the team. I know this isn't always the case, but take Kevin Punter, on the men's team a few years back, as an example. He was a JUCO transfer and ended up being the hardest worker. I think a lot of time they are really trying to prove themselves after coming from a smaller school to show that they belong here. I think this could be the same for her, and I bet she really feels like she has something to prove given that she's from Knoxville and wasn't recruited by us out of HS. She had some other Power 5 schools going after her this year too, so she's definitely got some talent to hopefully go along with her hard work. We will see come October.

Been away with USA basketball was the reason that I heard. I guess that means she has some learning of the system to get down or could mean something else. Anyway she is not injured and smiling in every picture I see so not a problem.

That is what I heard as well. So, it could be workload management thing. Let her have a little down time from competition so that she can come into the season healthy

I was told by a parent that people shouldn’t sleep on Jessie and Jaiden, that they were very good at what they do on the court

Not surprised by this, I think they can both help us, especially with a new staff that will develop players much better (IMO). Can't wait for a lot of the question marks to be answered.
