The funny thing is that Jessika's PPG (14.3) and RPG (8.8) numbers are actually up compared to last season (13.0 and 8.7). I think the issue with her is effort, and that's part of the reason she's playing further from the basket and her FG% is down from 59% to 50%. She's taking too many mid range jumpers. She can hit that shot, but she doesn't fight for position under the basket and get the easy scores like the girl from Alabama does. The biggest area she's gone downhill is on defense. Players can go right at her, and she can't (won't?) do a damn thing about it.On SEC Now ! Andy Landers just called out of State Jessika Carter well he pretty much called her a disappointment. Look some don`t like Landers but in this case he is 100% correct. If you look at Carter number they are way way down. Remember she was a preseason AA ? preseason all SEC i agree with him she playing farther from the basket this year.

I hope Kellie's the long term coaching solution, but it's way too early to tell. Results have been decent so far, but more improvement is needed. Recruiting is not up to par with elite teams, but hopefully that will improve in the next couple of years.
easy fix just bring Holly on the staff and we can attach a associate head coach title on her and then she can recruitThe good news is Kellie has proven she can win more games with Holly's players than Holly did. The bad news, is she is winning games with Holly's players. She is in her 17th year coaching, and has yet to prove she can recruit the players Tennessee needs to get where they want to go. That's a problem...
Time will tell but she has also never been HC of a program like the LVs. I think our history, facilities and rabid (some would say mouth frothing) fan base may make recruiting top players easier.The good news is Kellie has proven she can win more games with Holly's players than Holly did.
