Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Depends on how you measure talent. I think Coach Lawson has a ways to go as a coach but I don’t see how recruiting services continue to be this inconsistent ranking prospects out of high school.
For instance, take lady commit Jaida Civil and turn on the tape.
Put on the HS film of all Duke recruits the last two or three seasons, and show me one player that looks better on film than Civil? Then go and compare their Hoopgurlz rankings.
These players can’t be this talented coming out of HS and struggle this way offensively in college.

Parents paying for rankings.

Parents paying for rankings.

I’ve seen a lot of these recruiting analysts on social media and how they go out of their way to sell the ability of certain prospects that wouldn’t surprise me.
I mean this is ridiculous when you sit back and just watch the players in-person or on film.

 

[Terrells Bay88]

Duke has to depend on either Fournier, Jackson or Richardson to absolutely go off for 20 or more for their offense to flow.

Who should I be for in this Bama-Richmond game?

It's a win-win situation for us, but I am almost sure Bama will end up a top 25 team whereas Richmond may not stay a Quadrant 1 win for us if they lose. Go Spiders!

Watching Alabama vs Richmond.
The highly talented Lady Vols will beat Alabama.
Too many athletes.

Just saw the good news about Duke losing. Good for USF! That’s a team that always plays tough.

Actually a Richmond win against Alabama may put them in Q-1 position, especially if they go into their conference and win it which is expected.

 

[VolBalls33]

Texas beat Richmond by 11 and Bama is going down to the wire with Richmond. UT winning by 25 is impressive!!

Alabama definitely doesn't rebound well and after yesterday's performance against MSU show they are very prone to turn over the ball against high pressure defense. The Lady vols should advantage against them this year.

I see Norfolk St pulling the upset over UNC

You inspired Coach Banghart.

Bama was clapping for Richmond when we played them yesterday but bama won 75-68

Can't blame them, really, or any other similarly-talented team because they are all likely sick to death about hearing about Tennessee.

Too bad. The Lady Vols are one of the better storylines so far this season, and probably will remain so no matter if Kim's system works against the better competition coming up, or it flops miserably. Either outcome will be a hot topic that a lot of will be sick of hearing about. Not US, but everybody else.

I’m nervous for the UConn/U$C game tomorrow. Which version of the Huskies will show up? Azzi Fudd may play in the game tomorrow. UConn/Geno being coy for now. Personally if she’s cleared and ready I can see it happening (not as a starter, but off the bench). You can’t just store players away for a rainy day, especially if she could provide a necessary spark — just cross your fingers and roll the dice (carefully). Well, I guess we will see …

Not basketball related but I will be quietly rooting for TN tomorrow in the CFP. Never fear, I don’t want to see y’all win the title ( ), I just want to see tOSU get bounced in the first round. Go Vols!

There ya go!!!!!

FYI: Iowa State (9-4) is down to Oklahoma State (10-1) 15-22 after one quarter.

 

[lvocd]

And Alex Fuller Simmons' Memphis is tied at 21 after the 1st. Go Tigers!

Was hoping Richmond could hold on.

I haven’t been impressed with Bama all season, they were a better, more balanced team last season. They have no bench at all.

 

[lvocd]

Well, I jinxed Memphis. After I posted, Louiville went on a dang 16-0 run on them. Ugh. I don't like either major team in Kentucky.

 

[Ladyvols4ever!]

FYI, Andraya just mentioned that Oklahoma State's Coach just had her baby 10 days ago and is coaching her 1st game back tonight against Iowa State. They're winning by the way.

I mean it’s natural we have a new coach but the more good we do the more they can stop bringing up that 3 from milla

Yeah and, bless her heart, you can see by the dark circles under her eyes that she's a new mom who hasn't slept much in the past 10 days.

 

[VolBall09]

Iowa State just isn’t very good. They put all their eggs in Crooks basket but teams have seen her once now and she didn’t improve herself in the offseason. Not as intimidating as she was a season ago. Addy Brown is in foul trouble every single game. With her off the floor they don’t have a counter to Crooks and won’t beat most mediocre teams.

He really should have found some better players in the portal to put around Crooks. Too easy to double her without the shooters they usually have. Hansford has been a bust for them. She shot the ball really well in the slower paced, methodical Oregon State offense but in the quicker pace she is a non-factor.

I could see her and Kim having a bond, one year apart. Two of the youngest D1 coaches and rising stars. Having kids at the same time and building a career while doing it.

I wonder if they are acquainted?

 

[VolBall09]

I hate Gottlieb. Rooting for UConn to destroy them
