Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Depends on if the sports networks promote her nonstop for like 6 months like they did Clark, which I’m sure they won’t, they will probably promote Paige instead.
Juju is going to have a lot more around her next season, as is Paige. Paige is also a former National player of the year as a freshman and has a name that people recognize nationally in an Established championship program that made the final four while Southern Call did not make it there. Uconn will be more loaded than just about everyone if they can stay healthy next year. They had 4-5 players that would start on any team in the country sitting on the bench this year due to injury not to mention a very good freshman class coming with the number 1 overall and number 4 and 18 players to add depth. Dawn Staley stands by Paige being the elite of the elite right now in women's basketball, but was under the radar this year due to Clarks scoring. Uconn doesn't make the final Four this year without Paige Beuckers and she has one of the largest social media followings in the country so of course they will probably gravitate back that way. Ucon will be picked to win it next year with everyone healthy then Gino can finally retire.

They promoted another certain player that didn’t win a champion at all, instead of promoting the reigning national champion they decided on someone else, they pick who they want to promote, everything Is manufactured, so if they give the same promotion people will watch because it’s in their other face.

Reese? Didn’t LSU break many attendance and Viewership records?

I don’t disagree but The spotlight should’ve swayed heavily for CC. I thought JuJu got too much in comparison to Brink or Iriafen

I’m with u on Kiki since shes one of my favorite players, my point is the media picks who they want to promote, viewers will tune in if they constantly promote on every sports show like they did this season, it will be interesting to see who the media picks or if they pick anyone.

Dang, not really surprised, but hate it. What a great class act. Going out w her beloved Pac 12.

I'll bet she just wasn't up for all the travel. No matter how much people try to sugarcoat it, it's going to be alot.

AND does this throw KiKi I into the portal? BC I know she wants to come here and turn our sh*t around.

Tru the travel would have probably gotten her
 
Or Lindy La Roque.

Edit: Never mind! I see negotiations are already underway with Kate Paye.

Yes, that’s been the succession plan for a while. I believe Tara has said as much. Took the guess work out of her retiring.
Katie Paye, Holly Warlick is available for a chat.

Will be interesting to see how it goes, a bit different in that Tara is able to step down by choice rather than necessity.

I did feel for Holly a lot because I felt she was grieving a great deal when she took over. Rather than a celebration it was an obligation. Then when Pat passed she was obviously grieving all of that.
 
VanDerVeer: What a class act at a class university---one of America's best. A model coach and model program for a nearly 40 years. Stanford and the Ivies represent the true spirit of collegiate athletics. She's picked a good time to retire. She'll be missed.
