Official: UT hires Kim Caldwell as the new coach for Lady Vols basketball

[jeebie]

I can't find her age, even on Wikipedia

35 to 36 years old, judging by when she graduated from college.

Yeah, most these ladies got to go unless we want to bring brick by brick back.View attachment 632986

But all the realistic incentives are kind of - meh

40 grand to make the NCAA Tourney is ok. That is most of the cost of a new SUV.

I have a feeling given CKC’s propensity for threes we are going to see many brick by brick references this season.

She needs to have 4 of her own recruits by the end of April

Recruits/transfers…

Recruits/transfers…

I'm saying we need seven and I posted them on the transfer portal thread.

Yeah, you’ve been ringing the alarm on the roster after next year for a while. We were going to need as many multi year transfers as possible no matter what and needed to add in a lot of 2025 recruits. Was it 11 or 12 spaces open after next year?

good point but i don't rem her terms. does anyone know how harper's first contract compared to this one

True, but it seems like the conference championships and E8 and up should be at least 3x what they are. I guess the raises and extensions for doing that well would compensate...

This has to be tampering right… like ik they probably would end up there anyway with DNC but the fact only 2 entered and they both immediately end up there tells me they had discussed it. Idk seems shady I don’t like brooks

Let the whining and complaining begin..

I am not sure what the complaint is. Is that Brooks former players are following him to KY? Would that not be expected?

I’m not surprised or bothered by his former players following him, particularly Strack given how early in her career she is. My sarcastic comment is more on how inappropriate, whether college students are comfortable with it or not, I personally think adult men in positions of power kissing their athletes on the forehead is.

Why’s it shady? He recruited them and they wanted to play for him. Seems normal enough.

No, it's that he is known to occasionally kiss his players on the forehead and call them "Baby."

Welllll technically…. U can’t talk about bringing current players to a new job

But what does the NCAA even do anymore
