Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2024-25

Think we all could feel this with dawn now grant it i think she is excellent and to be honest what she has done in building a no name university in womens basketball into a powerhouse is commendable, but i think someone said earlier in the chat shes basically playing devils advocate of keeping talent stock, over recruiting keeping talent away from other teams case in point its no reason for them to technically be pursuing asia blackwell like why it makes no sense but the point is i can see some false recruitment of players not being honest with them. and being the hot commodity they are right now alot of kids will buy it

Well, if she keep stacking talents it will start affecting her because other top recruits will start thinking that if they ever get injury they're replaced immediately with another star. Hope to come to TN

I guess we woke up choosing violence today... haha 😂 😂😂. Y'all are playing no games and i'm here for it lol
These folks are funny to me lol. How do you come on another team’s forum and get upset because your coach/team aren’t praised enough? Seriously, GTFOH with that crap!

You can't "play to your strengths" if the players in front of you are better. These analogies are way off base. You would expect Kellie to play a less talented player so she could "play to her strengths" ? Not happening at Tennessee either. That's not how you win a national title.

Only an idiot would defend
If you don’t like what we serve for dinner here, you can always eat somewhere else…I mean it’s our forum and we don’t have to “be nice” to people who invite themselves to our party. If you are seeking praise for your program, go make a chicken boneyard where you guys can squawk together…I’m just saying.

EXACTLY.
 
We'll see at seasons end next year. This bravado has been playing out for years here. From the "Dawn hasn't won, we have the better players, she can't win a title." I have been here since 2008 and it's always the same. The tide turned and the people here trashed our program more and more. I was always nice and I still try to be....but.....fans like you make it difficult. Just give credit where credit is due. That's what I do. You should try it. It makes you less miserable. Tennessee's program is on the upswing but Dawn has the national spotlight for now. She is making the rounds on national television. You should check it out.

No one is asking for you to be here. We don't worship chickens or chicken coaches here.
 
Get used to it Superfly because I don’t think Dawn is done winning just yet, seems to me she’s just getting started. I wonder how long it takes for her to win her third? Honestly think it will be as soon as next year. I think Boston will have a senior season similar to the one Wilson had where she was a clear WNBA player still playing the college game lol. If her teammates continue to rally around her Boston will definitely lead them to another championship. The difference being Boston will have tremendous help while A’ja didn’t have exactly much. Also hearing talk Dawn and staff has been out to LA under the radar recruiting JuJu Watkins and really putting a press on to land her or Mikayla Williams to possibly go along with Fulwiley and Joyce Edwards. If Dawn can land any of Williams or Watkins to go with the possibles of Fulwiley and Edwards I don’t see teams really beating her anytime soon because those 3 are probably the best HS prospects I’ve ever seen play!
Yeah, well, I doubt it.

See, I’m fine with SC winning. It’s the hubris that stinks up the gym I have a problem with.

Mr. Pivot shouldn’t you be at your circle jerk instead of in here running your mouth?
 
I watched Candace Parker, Kelsey Plum, Kristi Toliver and Aja Wilson. So i've seen some of the actual best play LOL. Not knocking those girls but just saying they have a lot to live up to if they are on track for even those high school players type of careers.

Please note that I said the best IVE SEEN. Not you or no one else. I too watched Candace and Aja play in HS and my point still stands. Hell Watkins is already regarded higher than Kelsey Plum ever was. Yeah I know Plum went on to be the NCAA Leading scorer but JuJu is drawing comparisons to the greats Cynthia Cooper, Cheryl Miller and Lisa Leslie. All the players I mentioned are also highly ranked and their all on the right tracks.

Slave owners had children with their slaves…what does that mean?
It means we aren't living 200 years ago. Moving forward and if you choose to live with the mindset of 200 years ago, continue to live there and be miserable. Pingeton is and has been a respected coach for many years and because she brought in a volatile player who decided to make bad decisions, break rules as she saw fit and the coach disciplines Said player for creating the issue, now you got a problem. The problem is Ajiah Blackwell. That is why she was suspended for so many games. Not the coach. If I remember right there were more than just Blackwell suspended on that team. Where is your concern about the rest of them?
 
Clearly you were bothered by the original statement I made. Not sure why but it’s clear. I only stated an opinion and everyone got so riled up about it. I’m confused did I legit say something wrong or did that really stole a nerve?
Why would I be bothered by a miniscule minion like you Skippy. You morons from SC are supposed to post your dribble to the non Lady Vol thread yet you seem to want to be so involved with Lady Vol fans that you are all over the place. Not riled up at all just wondering what your trying to prove by posting in a thread that has nothing to do with SC.

It was noted that you saw those players and that's why i brought who i saw and has accomplished a lot and what some would say even more than the ones you mentioned up to this point year to year to the players you mentioned. Candace was a national player of the year when she was a junior. I don't think any of the players you mentioned accomplished that (Edwards is a sophomore so there is still time for her). This isn't knocking any of the talent (because juju is a really good player) just an observation. The women's game is in good hands for sure and the good thing is their is wealth all around the game which will make games more watchable and bring more fans to the game.

Regardless wish the best for all the players you mentioned. Be it in SC or any other university they choose to attend. Speaking of SC talent or possible SC talent Kyomi Mcmiller might have the most eye popping game out of all the ones you mentioned. She is a fun one to watch!

Thanks for stopping by and bringing your point of view.

Yes and thanks for at least responding rationally. I didn’t intend to make anyone upset with my original post.
