Dauda would absolutely have played at Tennessee and would be having much more fun right now. She is buried on the bench at SC and wasting her final season getting minimal game reps.

What is your deal with knocking anyone someone mentions would be a good add to our team? As I said the other day, if talent wants to come to Tennessee it’s unlikely we are turning it down. We absolutely would have taken Dauda if she chose us and she absolutely would have contributed in this system, especially with her ability to stretch the floor. Dawn is never gonna put her in a position to showcase her range.

Again, provide sound reasoning. You gave your opinion.
I watched every game between Arkansas and Tennessee.
I have watched South Carolina play preseason and regular season games.
Until you or anyone else stop throwing out hypotheticals about why these players magically are needed at Tennessee stopping acting as if it is wrong to disagree.
All I’m currently hearing is excuse about why they haven’t proven anything at their current school which has no basis.
You make every post about someone having a personal reason or being against ideas when in fact this stuff makes no sense.
If these high school and college players people keep trying to throw on the Tennessee roster were needed they would’ve been recruited just like the other players already on the roster that are talented.
Every player that goes elsewhere is not must have or automatic fit for Tennessee.
It’s that simple.

Dauda was recruited.

Every post you make doesn’t need to be an unhinged essay.

And so were tens of other players. Nothing guaranteed.
You again are focused on a one-sided hypothetical.
Fans throw out too many baseless ideas about players transferring and then when they struggle to play or earn significant roles, these same fans just assume they should’ve gone somewhere else and all things would’ve been different.
That is a lie.
If you can’t understand that and see how it’s relevant to this situation then keep believing every basketball fantasy in your mind is reasonable. In reality, it’s unrealistic.

I’m not focused on anything lmao. Stop putting words in my mouth.

Just curious why you’re so hateful to very talented players who we very obviously wouldn’t say no to.

Talia Scott is made of glass. She is everytime you turn around for her entire career. They haven’t disclosed what her injury is this time but she has not played in Paradise jam for Auburn. Without her they have no offense. Just fortunate for them they aren’t playing anyone decent in this tournament.

She went out with some sort of injury against Cal and hasn’t played since.

Auburn crushed an outmanned Pitt team. Was like watching two high school teams. Gaston was just way more athletic than anyone Pitt could put on the floor. Won’t be scoring like that in the SEC.

Would have been closer but Pitts leading scorer and rebounder Khadija Faye was out after taking a knee to the cheek/eye yesterday. Would have been fun to see the two Texas transfers face off.

IMG_5632.pngAnyone able to explain why West Virginia is commanding a #12 ranking nationally playing this schedule with a mediocre roster? They lost in the second round of the NCAA tournament to Iowa last year. Their roster is not impressive imo.

Actually. Elite teams try to stock pile elite players like UConn has done for years. Now you have South Carolina, UCLA, USC, and Notre Dame ghat is doing a great job of doing it. Therefore there is no doubt that TN would do the same.

Furthermore, no one mentioned production as reason for Wiley and Watkins will transfer. They will transfer because of style of play and honestly from watching their games and some live games. They are not interacting well with their teammates. There are a couple of groups. Right now there is some division on their team

Currently watching Marquette vs Rutgers.
It’s a low scoring game but been a fun matchup to see.
It’s on the Big Ten Network.
If you want to see quality games all year long and it’s in your price range I recommend YouTube TV and use it as your TV provider on the ESPN App to get ACC+ and SEC+ games.
Later today USC vs Saint Louis is on Trutv.

What are you talking about?
Tennessee signed arguably the best transfer portal class in WBB (the top class in the SEC) and just signed a Top 2 High School Recruiting Class in the past seven months.
This argument you are claiming doesn’t apply today.
And as I said, give some substance about what will change for these players by transferring. Stop making excuses about why they aren’t playing or need a change of scenery.
Everybody transfer situation isn’t going to turn out like Lauren Betts and Talaysia Cooper.
People think it was only about playing time but in reality it was much deeper.
Timing was the determining factor.
