All they need is a full 4 years for the new Assistant Coaches to have time to recruit and maybe they will get back to recruiting with the big time schools. Hope none of the Assistant Coaches leave or that 4 year period of waiting on great players might reset. It’s tough trying to recruit to Tennessee. It’s too bad….it was fun when great players always considered Tennessee….

I'll take South Carolina fans in here any day of the week over Conn fans. At least SC is an SEC program and they have a really good reason to post here: they don't have an active board for their own team. The Conn fans have several places they could join and post with other Conn fans who enjoy reading thoughts and opinions and brag-posts about the Huskies. But they come here instead, just to stir the pot with one after another subversively insulting post. 
As Dawn calls all of the parents to tell them, "don't expect your babies to play as much as they used to or maybe not at all." They may not be what we need at all this year. Just saw the article on it. Should be interesting with the top recruits who think they work as hard as everyone else, scored 30 points a game in high school, expect to play right away and now they are spectators. That makes for some ticked-off players and parents. Not a good combination if you ask me "Cock" fans
I am so sick of Creme gushing over uconn. This year it may be the right thing to do, but he is consistent even in years like last year when they could not really shoot the ball or play great defense. They were a pretty good team, but creme thinks they should win the national championship every year. They haven't won one in 5 years with top 5 recruits sprinkled through their lineup every year. What do they need every number one and 2 player 4 years in a row to win a championship? Seems like it! They had enough last year to do it but couldn't get the job done. I couldn't imagine geno with a few 15 or 20th ranked players having to play extended minutes. They wouldn't win the league.

Their starters are the same as last season except one and we did beat them at home last season. We know they have more overall talent than we do on their roster, but I would never say freshmen are better than our starters since their starters went 1 and 1 with us last season and they are still their starters.

Justine is a great player to reload and have to see what we do in the portal. I don't want to judge a roster until it is final. We've got Key and Horston another season with incoming Justine so I agree we need to go portal to replace Burrell and another addition to replace Dye as both those players are going to be huge factors this season. I know you don't think much of our freshmen class this year, but I think they are a great group of players that will be excellent for us this year and next. If you took time to look at the Sc exhibition game you will see that their freshmen went 12 -25 from the floor with 12 rebounds in 60 minutes of play. Our four freshmen went 11-28 with 24 rebounds in 64 minutes of play. I also agree 2023 has to be a huge class for us to stay on track to catch South Carolina. They are the only team were behind in the SEC right now were on a level with everyone else.

Yes, they got a lot more action going in the paint last night. They hardly got anything going to the basket last season. Everything was a 3 or mid-range jumper unless they could get it in transition.
They all look like they have taken a deep breath since the coaching change. They have lots of options offensively. They didn’t even shoot the 3 particularly well and still broke 100. By seasons end I’ll bet they shoot about 35% from deep as a team. They could really stun some teams. The freshman from Sweden, Rimdal, was impressive. Very smart player with international experience. The 3 pt line change is no difference for her. She can really stroke the ball. A lot of the others were coming up short but will adjust as they get their game legs back.

Florida is doing a good job of getting the ball to the high post, the defense collapses and it leads open 3-pointers or easy layups. We could do more of that. The Florida players are intentional about getting the ball there. Seems to be the goal of every player on the floor. Would love our players to have that same goal. Maybe one day.

Looking at next year’s lineup with more optimism. If Marta and Jordan Walker come back, the team is at 12 players. That includes Tamari and Jordan Horston, and all this year’s Freshmen, all of whom were shooters in high school, and will be much improved players as Sophomores. We’ll have Tamari at center, Karoline, Marta, and Sara at position 4, and Tess, Sara, and obviously Justine as shooters, and still have Horston and possibly Walker, plus Wynn and Miles. If we add more fine, but next year’s team already looks really good to me.
