Women's Basketball
Here is the roster she has some returnees and two freshmen coming in other Gusters and one more none have played much this year doubt they are players that can move in and be any where near as effective as what she has this season. I think you could pencil in Gusters as an effective starter and that is it. 8 seniors and only two freshmen

@Rooster1

Including all 5 starters i believe ... Kim already put it out to Tiger Nation to 1. Enjoy this team this year 2. Do not get greedy. She followed that up by thanking Nikki Fargas for getting the seniors to stay and that next years team will look totally different because of the players she is going to lose. So even Kim knows next year will be different. Not saying she won't be successful but it it will take some time

She can recruit the portal we know that just don't know how many she will need or take. I figure anyone that can play better than anyone she has now is a candidate we've seen her do this before. Of her getting it together and being a huge SEC factor yes it is going to happen don't know if it will be by year three thinking more about year 4 or 5. Because regardless of talent we all know graduate students and seniors offer you far more than even the most talented freshmen in most cases.

I would not be at all shocked to see Rickea Jackson at LSU. They will be rebuilding but she just seems like a Kim type player.

Still holding out hope she’ll come to Knoxville but I’m concerned our transfer stock is falling as our season falters.

Hard to get a handle on her but yes I think that could be a possibility. I think it is going to come down to who has the NIL money as that has been mentioned way to many times on twitter her mother liking those posts. Ole Miss wants her bad and Texas is going through Blair as their contact. Were contacting with Coach Williams and the Ole Miss coach is doing it all herself and may even start becoming a nuisance to them.

To add the role Jackson would play is not even a factor as with any of the teams I heard going for her commit all would have her in the starting lineup and she would be one of the key go to players for all of them. I think Jackson and better scoring point guard makes us a contender for the SEC as well as NCAA title if we were to get such players for next season. We certainly do need another post, but would still be fairly awesome with Jackson, Horston, Key, and a point guard the quality of say just to throw out a name Nia Clouden of Mich St meaning something similar to what she has brough to that team.

Arkansas at Ole Miss tonight in a makeup game. We need Arkansas to beat Ole Miss and eliminate our final obstacle to a double bye in the SEC tourney. We can do that ourselves with another SEC win but the sooner we have it the better.

We really need to win the next two. It would be a whole lot better to have the two or 3 seed rather than face South Carolina in the Semifinals. On the outside chance, Florida loses one of their remaining games and we win out, we would get the number 2 seed. Making it to the SEC final is going to be huge for NCAA seeding and once in the SEC final, anything can happen.

No doubt or we will be playing on the road in the NCAA Tourney. The last two games and the SEC Tourney will determine that. I rather win the two at home which I think clinches home court for the first two NCAA games no matter what happens in the SEC Tourney. Also a three seed for sure and a two if Florida loses again. Lose and we need some Tourney wins for sure. This game tonight just eliminates Ole Miss the last team to have a shot at a double bye other than the present top four.

I do think Arkansas will win that game. They were putting it together before Daniels went out in our second matchup. She returned against Kentucky but was somewhat limited you could tell. Mostly just not up to game speed.

Would look for her to have a better night tonight.

Arkansas does need to try something different defensively. They did not guard Kentucky well and had an uncharacteristically poor shooting night. Did not have much to do with Kentucky defense IMO. Arkansas was just cold and their offense was a little off kilter bringing Daniels back.

Nice start for Ole Miss. Arkansas looks tired. They have since they played us. That game took a lot out of both teams. Since that time both programs have struggled off and on.

It does eliminate Ole' Miss, but Ole' Miss has South Carolina in their final game of the season, so that is almost a done deal either way unless South Carolina throws a game which i don't see happening while getting ready for the tournament.
