Why bring this into this topic? Because one could just as easily say: the head coach seems to have a propensity for recruiting those she already knows / has an eye for are like those you've described ("many"), or, (b) the "many" -- under the tutelage of the head coach -- are turning into (or remaining, rather than being taught to change) what you're describing.
The tribute was so kind. Go Vols ![/Q
Sorry you feel this way about my comment. It's just this is what jumps out to me anytime I read about the acclaimed players from the past. My thought could be, as you state, a vailed observation on present coaching short comings . Other coaching staffs must surely recruit these type players with great talent who must be somewhat self centered and turn them into great team players at the same time polishing there personal talent.
As you say I am off subject .
I agree whole heartedly agree the tribute is so kind.
