Neither of them seem to be thriving under their new coach. Would take either of them in a heartbeat. I think Rhyne is the better individual player by a long shot. Jackson would likely do better in the system Kellie likes to run. It’s obvious that she has a “no stars” system. Vic used her similarly to how Kellie has used Rennia this season.

As a team we are toward the top of almost all the statistical categories in the SEC but we have no individual players in the top 5 of any category except blocks for Tamari. Howard would have to change her style and play within the system.

Somethings not right at Kentucky. The effort and the looks on the players faces make me think there are issues there. Howard hasn't looked happy in the last several games. It would be interesting to know if there is an issue.

I agree. When they played us, Kyra called a timeout in the 3rd quarter and looked like she was getting in Rhyne’s tail and she just rolled her eyes

I'm really not much interested in taking anybody maybe a post player with experience. I like who we have coming back and who we have coming in. I guess you definitely would have to take a star player that wanted to transfer, but we have a solid core and some some excellent recruits coming in next season and we want to be able to allow them to play.

Another West Virginia WBB player in the transfer portal: Ariel Cummings (6-3 JR forward, Toledo, OH)

She may have a hard time finding a home dismissed from Toledo for breaking team rules then went to W Va only played 29 minutes all season. She may need to drop down a level to keep playing.

The way she has been playing I don't think she would help us. She shot about three air balls from the three last night and we like 2 for her first 10 shots. She missed about a dozen free throws as well. I don't know who might transfer off that team but I wonder what Hunt is thinking she hasn't been able to even get in the rotation and I see a couple players in there that she should be the better player.

U talking about a national star shooting.. She can shoot 100 airballs, she's a star that every team would die to have. Geno will take her over Evina

Really I would take Hunt. She should be a Lady Vol and her career is just starting. Kellie could do a lot with her.
Blowing up your question already!😳

I would take Howard any day' but rite now lots of frustration in their team will hurt them.

West Virginia hanging tough in the Big 12 with the regular season sweep over Texas. They’re a tough team. Not one I would like to meet in the tournament. They have several players that can go off on any given night. Gondrezick Miss. Consistency as usual with 20+.

They won 81-75.... they are solidly the second place team in the Big12 and i’ll say it again. Don’t look like a middle of the pack team at best.

There are some posters who used that loss to say we lost against a team that is going to struggle to get to the tourney in a weak conference. Well... there is some crow eating going on around these parts

She is a very good player and of course most teams would take her. I fairly sure she is not looking to come to Tennessee. She doesn't have as good of career stats as Davis 44 percent career field goal shooter to 47 percent for Davis, 75 percent free throw shooter to 80 percent for Davis, 6.7 rebounds per game to 8 a game for Davis. She gets hyped as the best player in the league sometimes and she was last season but overall for a career and this season she is not the best player in the SEC. She does fairly well as a volume shooter gives her the higher average but her efficiency falls under a few other players.

Jazz has gone backward at Kentucky. Really felt that transfer made 0 sense for her from a basketball standpoint.

She’s not really affecting the game when she’s in there and her minutes have gone down in favor of Benton. Howard hardly comes off the floor so Jazz is really the 3rd option at the guard spot. Sad to see her in this situation, always loved her calm demeanor and she brings a good attitude. She was one of the more consistent players. Could have been a real asset for us this season and she truly wouldn’t have had to score much with the emergence of Key and Burrell to go along with Davis. Would have taken a ton of pressure off Horston.

What could have been... 😔

Completely agree.
