Wow! Really encouraging interviews. These ladies communicated impressively. Darby is so mature and poised. Suarez is very conscientious and insightful. Great I.Q..’s! All players were very unselfish in their assessments of their teammates. A worthwhile view to get one’s mind off h.s. recruiting woes and a renewed focus to enjoy the present excitement for the possibilities for this season! Thanks for sharing….
Just listening to these players makes me realize that there’s NOTHING WRONG WITH our recruiting! They could not have been more complimentary about our coaches and the university…..
I was just watching a sports channel confront Lane Kiffin about a high school recruit that Lane wanted but went to Texas A&M . What happened….. why didn’t you get that recruit ?
Lane’s response was “ Nothing was wrong, we just got out bid !” Does anyone see the correlation with our recruiting? WE GOT OUT BID ……. JMO

All in these videos were asked about the newcomers, and it wasn’t just the answers they gave, but the wow expressions on their faces while contemplating their answers. They all said they meshed well together, from the beginning.
Rickea said she hates to lose, love hearing that. To me, all champions feel this way. Sara said she wants to emulate Rickea’s pull up jumper, and Franklin’s rebounding, called her a ball hawk. Several praised Powell’s passing, Jillian’s versatility, and the list goes on. Sara said she wanted to do whatever was best for the team, whether on the court, or on the bench cheering for her team.
All said the competition on the team was higher this year than last year (another wow look). None were worried about their minutes. All were happy and excited about the team and this season, and All said they have one shared goal, to win a Championship.
Great interviews.
GO LADY VOLS!!!

So many great quotes! I was amped to hear how competitive practices have been -- and in particular, the ways Rickea and Jordan are making each other better. Those two are gonna do so much damage on the court! Them along with Key could really bring that intimidating factor back to Tennessee this year.

When i saw Jillian and Justine interview on the show yesterday it was obvious if Jillian is 6'5" so is Justine. Actually Justine looked slightly taller and it makes you realize how great a player they both can be in the years to come because of their physical size yet they both have skills of a guard. If Justine can develop her inside game she will become a stretch four and be a very difficult player for other teams inside players to guard. That also goes for Jillian.
Marta Suarez just looks physically strong and has really developed from where she was when she played last. I'm looking forward to watching her shoot it as that according to players and coaches is where she is really improved since she last played at Tennessee.
Of course we have to prove it on the court, but this team on paper seems very talented hopefully they prove that to be correct.

I wish we’d been able to hear from TK/Jordy in this way but I’m super excited for this TEAM.
I’m excited to hear that it sounds like Franklin is STILL Franklin. That’s a big deal for this team and how far we can go. Also, Marta’s shooting means ALOT. I know people are high on Justine but she’s a freshman. We need our sophomore/junior shooters to show up and it sounds like Marta/Tess/Sara are ready to show up and out. Karo defending against TL/Jillian is going to pay dividends!
I don’t think most teams are as versatile as we are with our depth and the different skillsets of this squad we can exploit teams weaknesses whether they aren’t able to guard 3 point shooters or they can’t guard the post. If they’re a super athletic/pressing team or a more of a half court zone playing team, we have the players to handle it all this season and they’re competitive.
We’re in for a FUN season.

In case any of you missed It, you’re able to see SEC Networks rendition of Lady Vols Media day online through the ESPN app, as a replay.
They talked to Jordan, TK, Jillian, Justine, Joy, Kellie, and John. I think there was more but I’m not sure. I was trying to figure out how to link it but it wouldn’t let me. It was actually refreshing to hear from Joy and John as we don’t really get to hear from those two a lot.
