UK has some good pieces also. The Oregon transfer that will be eligible this season at UK is said to be the real deal. The JC post will be good, they return their point guard and their leading scorer who almost led them to a victory over us in Lexington. I wouldn't sleep on them. They gave SC their only conference victory last season and I think they will be better than they were last season.

All Kentucky was missing last year was a quality post player. Bishop sucked lol...but their guards are really good, the point guard you're talking about is Epps. Her and Harper make a formidle backcourt and add in Akhator, I can agree with you, they shouldn't be slept on in the SEC. Like you said, they beat USC last year, something we couldnt accomplish.

She will probably wind up at Ohio State.

Nobody has to say anything about it being subscriber information. I heard it was either Kentucky or Ohio State long before it was said on The Summitt.

Look like she is very interested in UK also.

I could see her at Kentucky but Ohio State makes more sense. UK has Akator and Rice.

That being said, she would be more of a focal point at Kentucky than at Ohio State. And Kentucky is honestly really hurting for talent given who they lost this last season. I'm sure she will now wind up at UK to make life a living hell for UT for her two years. Because (Lady) Vols.

I would love to have Stephanie Mavunga at Tennessee, but she would only be a backup to
Mercedes Russell and if she could play this year Bashaara Graves would also play in front of her. I bet Jasmine Jones could beat her out also at the 4. If not Tennessee hope for an SEC school.

The only reason UK beat SC last year was because Welch was playing sick in that game. Welch plays they win going away.

As an SC fan, I will give Kentucky more credit than that. They often give us a hard time just because of their aggressive style of play. I think the officials let them get away with too much. Especially constant blatant shoves. But when it doesn't get called, it gives us problems.

Yep, I saw some of that game and it was the typical bloodbath that is KY basketball. They foul as often as they can. It is what they are taught to do. And typically refs try to keep the fouls even so it is a huge advantage for them when that happens.

Lord help with this post. She wouldn't be eligible this season and no way in hell would Jasmine Jones beat her out for a starting position at PF. TBH she would easily get minutes over both players no questions asked if it were up to me. I'm not that big on Graves anymore and I'm even less on Jasmine Jones who has proven zilch through her career at UT thus far.

I do not understand why LV fans want elite talent to go to other SEC schools like SC and Kentucky. I guess y'all don't enjoy winning the league. Holly needs as much elite talent as she can possibly get. Recruits aren't exactly lining up to come here like they used to, and we sure aren't winning anything solely on coaching.

Welch played 23 minutes in that game. She was in foul trouble for most of the game.

SC lost because they got cocky, thought they had the league won, and went into Lexington and thought they had it in the bag. BIG mistake, but it was obvious given their low energy and laziness for most of that game. The only player that showed up was Wilson. Mitchell and Coates were complete no-shows. There is no way around it: SC blew it, and it cost them the outright league title.

As for fouls, it was a horrible crew who did that game (Zentz, Rezac and Dickerson). That being said, teams should, by now, expect that going into Lexington. And their style didn't stop Tennessee from from beating them three times last season, including in Lexington.

Anybody who thinks it a good thing that very good players to to our SEC rivals ought to have their head examined. Not as bad as going to, say, uconn, but not good either.

The best way to defeat Kentucky is to slow the game down and make them execute in the half court.

I have to agree about Muvunga. If she would of came here, most likely she would of started at the 4 position next season. I like Jones, but she does not possess the skill set of Muvunga especially around the rim. Hopefully we can sign a good post in this class because the 4 position will be wide open. I would think that would be appealing to some of the top post players in this class.

Let us hope Mavunga goes to the Big Ten we sure don't need Kentucky getting a post player like her.
2016 just because huge for Holly and staff. They need two quality post player capable of playing immediately at a high level.

No way in heck would i want her to go to another one of our SEC rivals, I would rather her go to a Big 10 Ten school instead. btw if she would have came here she would be starting over Jones not the other way around.

Agree with your post, and we paid big time for those wins...both regular season and SECT...injuries and then so beat up and tired that we ran out of energy in the championship game. Not all due to the KY rough style of play but... I just hope Matthew can keep them from falling all over the floor when they play defense this year...I knew some one would get hurt even before it happened. Bodies vs. legs, legs lose:ermm:

Why are so many fans afraid of strong competition? Do we want to win because we are good, or simply by default because everyone else is so weak? If the competition is so bad, does the victory have any value? Is it like the trophies kids get in sports for participation, regardless of skill level? To truly be the best, you have to beat the best. I say bring it on! If everyone wants to go to South Carolina, it will make a victory over them that much sweeter.

Well good for you, i said what i said and i stand by it. i'll still rather her go to a Big ten school instead but then again the decision is hers to make not ours.

i'm sure it will make you very happy and excited if every post we're after for 2016 and 2017 goes to all our in conference/out conference rivals and Russell becomes the only Post player we have on the roster after the 2015-2016 season.
