More time for Moore

The main problem I see with Moore is she is to skinny. If she could put on about twenty pounds she could be an awesome post player for us. She did hit over 50 percent of the shots she took and 75 percent from the free throw line. She wants to play got to get aggressive when she is in there and bigger and stronger this summer.

her and Russell should get together and push each other during the off season,to get some weight on and muscle up and work on conditioning and passing,I'm going to eat greasy hamburgers and a lot of pork, so i probably want judge them to harshly :)

They need to up their protein and pump them weights. I would like to see Mercedes looking like the Incredible Hulk next season. Hopefully she will at least have very strong hands seemed to have some trouble catching the ball. She needs to get with Jarnell Stokes and see what he did no one can knock the ball out of his hands once he clamps down.

I disagree look at Burdick and Jones they hit the weights and got no better or worst. The problem like many have said and debbie antonelli was Russell needed more playing time you can also make the case for Moore. As some already ready on this more Burdick and Jones played more then they should have. Also lets not let Graves off the hook she was indecline this year to. So for everyone taking shots at Moore and Russell for not hitting the weights need to take a hard look at the other 3 players.

Weight training has not affected Jones or Burdick's play it is all mental with both of them. It doesn't matter how strong or physically fit you are you still must have skills and the right mental approach and neither of these player do. I don't think either had very good coaching in high school. Neither has much of a basketball IQ. Burdick does a great job of holding position and rebounding she doesn't do anything else very well all comes back to developing skills and the right mental approach she has one more year to get it right.

I agree some of it`s mental but if they are lacking skills then why are they on the floor so much ? Burdick and Jones to me that`s the coach fault. And yes you are correct Burdick is a good rebounder but that`s it her and Jones are a turnover machine. And to make matters worst Brudick was the vocal leader and MD called her out and we all know what happen.

I'm hoping that they either improve dramatically or the freshmen will be good enough to take their place. That is all we can hope for at this point.

When Moore came in I said she looked like a project who wouldn't be ready to contribute until her junior or senior season if we were lucky. I have seen nothing to change that appraisal and since her sophomore year just finished it looks to be a correct prediction.

She doesn't play because she isn't good enough yet. It is as simple as that. Moore was added as a project when we hired coach Law and we knew she would take some time to develop. Everyone loves the kid who doesn't play much, but I have watched her every time she been in... even when she was away from the ball. It is easier to focus on a player like that during mop-up duty. One of the things I have noticed is that she is out of position a lot.

out of position a lot?

How dare you say such a terrible thing about the best Lady Vol this side of Jasmine Phillips?


Shame!
