Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. We have more money than most.

We could all toss a few coins into a bucket and get Cameron Brink for next year. Say for $50k to promote Goo Goo Clusters?

They need to try everything they can do to keep R Jackson one more year.

Martha??? Any word on a possible return? 🫣

Last I heard, she is enrolled and taking UTK classes via on-line through spring semester. I recall that she traveled last summer.

No updates on her mum

Hard to read her body language, but thinking this year has been a mental roller coaster for Rickea.

Does anyone know if she will be graduating this year?

RJ's whole college career has been a mental roller coaster , from Vic leaving to Covid to team conflicts.Really ashamed for such a talented player. Probably not graduating, she missed spring semester at MSU last year, went home after the January mess. Could have done remote classes tho. She says every chance she gets lately how happy she is here and how much she thinks she's grown as a person and player. Just wants to play in one NCAA tourney game one time. LOL hopefully she'll get more.

For her I don't think going would be about $ at all. She's constantly getting little promos like the ZIPs car wash thing, has bigger deals like with a car place in Mich that provided her a 50K car to drive! She probably just wants to put all the college drama behind her and reset for the W. Last draft projection I saw had her 4th.

Jordy is a different case. Last projection I saw had her 8th, so depending on how the rest of the season goes she could fall out of the top 10. Also, she has the big loyalty to KJH, TK and the program in general. I'm sure she has promo deals as well tho not as visable as RJ and could probably get a ton more next year. She'll probably go, but IMO there's at least a chance she stays, espec if TK comes back.

I wish Marta the best, but we have an over abundance of players like her. Don't think her return would help all that much next year. We need efficient scorers and quick guards.

It's amazing when you watch the team play like they did tonight, and you realize the level of coaching malpractice that has gone on this year with this same team that's been unranked virtually all season...

I mean, it is technically true though... This is the same team that teetered on the edge a few weeks back. I'm glad they're trending in the right direction but this season has been a major disappointment (given the preseason talent and ranking). Good thing they can make a run in March and make us forget all the misery.

Third this year as bad as the SEC doesn’t warrant holding onto if a change is needed. The fan base is bigger than 3 Facebook groups of a lot of the same fans.

Tennessee has made a lot of coaches rich with buyouts to stop coaching.

"She's got an Elite Eight, Final Four, could win it all (team). I told her in the handshake line, outside of the butt-kicking we took at South Carolina, they're as good as any team we've played."

Comment from Mike Neighbors after the game. People can get butthurt all they want. Coaching malpractice...

tenn would not have been preseason top 10 without key. and if poll voters knew key would have blood clots they never put tenn that high. no one can say key was not big part of tenn preseason ranking.

I think the loss of Key has been WAY overrated--and indeed IMO we are a better team without her. We miss her shot-blocking on defense, yes,
but not offensively. BB is a game of athleticism....

Maybe, maybe not. But they definitely still would have been ranked.

Regardless, I'm not sure what preseason rankings have to do with Neighbors' comments...

I have never heard of a player in any sport who was projected to be a first round draft pick in their pro league who turned it down because of NIL and yet y’all will talk yourselves into believing it’ll happen this time

Evina Westbrook and Ashley Joens were both projected first round but decided to use their 5th year… Uconn and Iowa State. Not for NIL necessarily

We NEED Marta back I don’t understand the people who think we don’t. So much experience and a smart player. Just never found her rhythm with this team after her injury

Indiana has 5th years coming back. Not first round girls but still. I could see Jordan coming back like Evina Westbrook did. Both projected late first round but have “unfinished business”
