If that’s what happens. No offense to her as she’s gifted, but if you’re going to your 3rd school by your 4th year it’s a you problem.

She had no issues with South Carolina. She was behind a few players, and she didn't want to wait her turn. You have to understand these girls want play. If she had stayed, she would be playing more now but she seems happy where she is.

Ok. Competition isn’t for everyone. Which goes back to my original statement, if you go to a 3rd school in 4 years it’s not the schools. The kid is talented before this gets twisted.

I don't think we "go far" either way. Sorry. This bunch was fun to watch until they decided they were good, after that, they seemed to quit having fun. Fun was what made them "fun" to watch win or lose.

I haven't recognized this team from Ky game and the Sunday fiasco....
Watched Ky game and went Sunday's game there was no fight , no effort ,
and players not hustling for rebounds
loose balls....last 2 games were abysmal.... I have confidence that
CKC will get the team playing together
But it may be next season......

Well okay but your humble opinion is silly. I know that is kind of your lane on here but please! That take is way out of left field even for you.
Weak minded?!? These players were tough minded enough to work, practice and study at a level to receive a full scholarship to play for the Lady Vols! Any student athlete in D1 is essentially working a full time job and being a full time student with gpa requirements. I might mention that not always but generally our LVs are very good students.
Do they experience doubts or frustrations that can sometimes impact their performance on any given night? Yes they do but that makes them human (in some cases still teens) not weak minded.
Questioning Spear and Spencer’s effort is beyond the pale! They both transferred here and have given their all for UT! We should be so thankful for their efforts and leadership!
Geeez!!
Should your comments have been in blue font?

I say weak minded because of all the weak efforts they produced on the court. Spencer continually failed to get the ball to Puckett or Darby, dribbled into trouble/double teams, lost the ball, threw up desperate shots. not good for your "best" point guard. Spear either scored in the 20's or didn't score at all and she was not effective on defense.

Spencer put out supreme effort against Georgia. She was a key in our comeback with her energy and effort, had two steals, a positive assist to turnover ratio, continued to sacrifice her body by taking charges (let's see you do that!), and was communicating with the team to get players in place. Her shots have been off lately, as almost everyone else's. This doesn't make her weak minded. That's plain silly at best.

From what I remember she ALWAYS wanted to be at Tennessee but there was a lot of pressure to pick SC because she is from the state. It was almost like she didn’t even have a choice. SC was picked for her.

Yeah, it must be frustrating for you to consistently lose your intelligence and discretion side to stoop down to satisfy your agenda based existence. Competition can in fact be tough.

The assumption in your premise that she will be at a third school gives it away. That and the all new age LOM’s that liked your posts.

I’m sorry, what’s my agenda? Which part of me stating she’s talented did you not understand? That kind of messes your thoughts up as I’m being complementary to the kids skill set. Regroup, read up and come back.

Tell me which strength you were featuring with her ASSumed 3rd school. Somehow I missed it.

Replying to a previous poster who feared she was leaving. So read up, regroup and comeback. Don’t cut in to dance if you don’t have rhythm.

There’s competition everywhere in the SEC. Some choose to compete for playing time at South Carolina while others choose to compete to beat South Carolina. The significance is that she has the talent to choose. Many don’t get that choice.

Hopefully Cooper found what works best for Cooper.

Bravo!!

On the "weak minded girls" versus Avery Strickland and Edie Darby, I wonder if the perception of "weak minded" is correlated with some other variable....

So, if this is your snarky way of implying that I'm being racist against Spencer and Spear maybe you can look back on my early season comments on Puckett. I pointed out how she wasn't getting it done on the court too and seemed to have a bad case of senioritis. I'll comment on bad play, no matter who or what it is.

I'm not saying it's not true, but I follow WBB recruiting pretty close and especially our recruiting and I never heard that statement from her or any of her friends or family. She had a choice.
"I didn’t choose South Carolina for the hype, none of that,” Cooper said. “I chose South Carolina to do better, to get better, some place that I know that I can take the next level to, which is all schools — but I feel like South Carolina is the school for me.”

Strickland was blown by every time she was in the game at Kentucky and again yesterday. She's two steps slower than Spencer and Spear, at least.

Younger Darby isn't a D1 player. She was given the opportunity to be a practice player and has been great at that.

In all fairness, every single player on the team is getting blown by time after time.

I wonder what you’re insinuating with some other variable? It’s not like you to mince your words or take the passive aggressive approach.

She was asked to play a different role than she has in the past. Previously, they looked to get her open to take outside and midrange shots. In this system, her spot in the rotation has been rebounding and playing more inside. Stats aren't the same, but I think the coaching staff would have a very different evaluation than you do.

Agree, but Kellie had her playing the 4 a lot and sometimes 5 too. Thinking fans are more disappointed in her offense, because we knew what to expect on defense this season. In the past, on offense, she started off hot early in the season then hit a wall late season. This season she just never really got going and missed so many open threes along with close jumpers. Still appreciate her and she’ll always be a LVFL, but offensively she didn’t produce this year missing many shots she’s made in past years.
