Lady Vols are so loaded with talent ....

I am sorry and no disrespect to the Lady Vols, but at this moment, it is not fair to put the Lady Vols in the same sentence with UConn.

Go ahead, flame away!

I agree UConn should not be on this board with the Lady Vols, they should leave that disgusting name off this board.

You left tucker and cooper out!! If jannah is able to return healthy, she could be that X factor, the missing link, the player that could put us over the top for a national championship.

I agree 100% with that!!!!! Many people do not want to admit it, but if we could get Jannah healthy and back to 100 she would be the last piece to fit the puzzle. With her and Diamond's scoring ability would make it tough on every team they will face.

Tucker, for all intents and purposes, has never played college basketball. She will have to get acclimated to the college game.

Russell and Deshields have both missed an entire season of games. Might take a little while to get into game shape.

That's the case for all freshman, people please keep that excuse it's pointless.

Both Russell and Deshields will be fine.

Tucker, Deshields, and Russell have missed a collective 5 seasons of basketball and have never played a single minute of a game with each other in an LV uniform. Deshields and Russell will presumeably be ok, but I'm old school Missouri- they need to show me. If Tucker isn't playing in real games at the start of the season I doubt she will ever be a factor.

No, what fans don't want to admit is it's more likely than not Tucker is a non-factor for the remainder of her playing career. At this point I would be thrilled if she could just develop into a situational role player, but even that is probably pushing it....

I think the major concern for next season is players already on the team improving their offense. Reynolds, Nared, Middleton and Carter were below 40 from the field. We can't win against the top teams if they can't be better on offense than they were this past season. We add two players in Russell and DeShields that are very efficient as offensive players. A third very promising player in Cooper.
If you add up the shots that Reynolds, Nared, Middleton, and Carter took you get 819 attempts of which 310 were made. That is 37.8 percent and when you see this you now know why we can't beat a team when we only allow 58 points. I am not certain they will get 819 shots next season because of the new talent, but we need them to be better on offense because it is necessary for everyone on the team to be able to score at an efficient rate.

but it is a new season of Lady Vols basketball coming up Darth and there is no telling what Tucker can do or not do,but she was highly recruited for a reason

hopefully she and others will come with a serious attitude and play some great basket ball,we know that they have been injured,recovering from surgery and other problems,but the future is bright

"IF" they can stay healthy and bring the same team play that they found late this last season,I think they may surprise us,of course I am an optimistic fan ,as you have probably noticed

Who our big girls in the middle. Next yr. Seems like that where we get beat especially if we go cold from 3 I know injury hurt us but seem our back up were a lot smaller then opponents
