Rickea Jackson Minutes

i’m agreeing with you haha. i just might have worded it weird. you hit the nail on the head with your post. transfers aren’t the problem. we’ve had plenty who were amazing - also want to mention Alexis Dye from last year. absolutely loved her and what she brought as a lady vol.

I always thought the Michelle Marciniak transfer worked out okay

Okay thanks. And how could I have forgetten about Alexis Dye! She was awesome on many dimensions.
i have no problem with her driving the ball, it's just that I haven't noticed her kicking it out to an open shooter when the drive is smothered by defenders. She tends to force it then - like Horston does, only Horston can still get to the rim or take a turn-around jumper - and gives a turnover or offensive foul or jump ball. I like her as a player, she has some skills.

I suspect that Marta was a relatively quicker player in her younger years. As she matured, she has bulked up and now can "body up" well in the post, as shown last game but she also moves like a bigger player. But too often she plays like she a lithe guard who can beat defenders off the dribble--maybe in her younger years and againts the comp. in Spain, she could make that playing style work but now, those habits need to be altered.
 
I believe Jordan H is this team's leader and it is time that she holds a team meeting, with players only, laying out the team's expectations and the roles of the players. It is time that Jordan H channels Nicky Anosike, lays down the law, and get this team rolling. GBO.

Not exactly funny, but my initial quick skimming of your post had me thinking it read, "...and it is time that she holds a team meeting, with prayers only...."

:confused:

Nope, I got the post, I agreed with the post, I just picked a vague gif.

I remember 2001, when they were all excited about some kid named Zolman who the staff was pretty high on. Stuff like that. Good times.

But more to the point, going to practice can settle a of misconceptions.

Remember Shanna Zolman well. What a shooter. Remember watching her warm up before a game and I swear she hit 10-12 3's in a row. Couldn't believe it. Don't think she ever played in WNBA. Don't know what happened to her.

She has a role on the team if she is willing to take it. Not going to be playing on the perimeter and driving to the basket. She is going to need to be willing to play in the paint and score some points in there. Sure she can shoot a three now and again if she gets open, but she needs to leave the drives to much quicker players.

Marta needs to think of her feet, when she has the ball on offense, and not take extra steps.

She played a couple of seasons with some success but knee injures ended her career.
 
The portal can be like a used car lot. They all can look pretty good from the highway. But what’s under the hood? What’s hiding in the trunk? Will it take you to the checkered flag or down a checkered path?

In any event, you need a decent mechanic to get them running smoothly or keep them purring.

And at the end of the day, it’s more about what’s on the inside than the looks…
That's great. Lol
 
You. You are lying. It is your brand. That and bullying.

You need to stop creating such a toxic environment here Rick. You don't get a pass for it just because you yell, "Go Vols!"

Too bad you don't like opinions different than yours. You lied twice. First time is when you said no one was calling for Kellies job. Second time was in response to the post you are replying to. You lie....you get called out especially when most of your platform is built on bashing fans, players and coaches. You speak poorly of them, you should expect a response. Tough that you like to dish things out but can't take it when it comes back to you.

You all can gloss this over all you want, but the fact remains the same. The portal is Russian Roulette. Any college coach will tell you this, but wait none of you know any. :rolleyes:

So is high school for that matter. At least with the portal, the player has a longer track record against allegedly better competition which would be more likely to identify personality issues. I thought Kellie had a very good vetting process to prevent introducing personality incompatibility. Regardless, there is always a chance for clashes when you have competition. Maybe Rickea is mad because she is not used to losing.

Looking into the character of all potential recruits is an important step on the recruiting process. Seems that Kellie omitted that step with Jackson.

Something obviously happened to get suspended. If you know what it was, speak up otherwise it's unfair to question the character of any team member without having the facts to back it up.

I can't speak to Jackson's character, but if that's true it's quite an indictment on the coach who is so big on "culture"...

She played at Mississippi State. She ain't used to winning either. She hasn't even made it to an NCAA tournament at this stage in her college career.
 
I don’t see how any of you have any idea what’s actually going on with Jackson and the team. I’ve seen people claim she’s trouble, that she has a bad attitude, that she argued or fought - how in the blue hell do any of you know any of that?

Seriously. I’m not being hostile here. How do any of you know any of this? Are you friends with Jackson and know her story? Did you see an argument? Did one of the assistant coaches call you and tell you what happened? Was it reported online? What’s the basis of your claim?

Or are you all speculating solely (and wildly) on the news that she’e out indefinitely on a coach’s decision?
