Edie Darby has been better than expected in practice. I've seen her play quite a few times when she was at Greenfield so I knew she had some skills. Her size has always been her detriment. She has a handle just a good as Miles and also plays similar defense hawking the ball. She can get to the basket and shoots the three fairly well. I would expect her to get a scholarship in 2023. I wouldn't look for her to play much this season, but she is the type a player that could work herself into quite a few minutes as a junior or senior.

Agree Edie will be on scholarship and on the court. She is not short though, she is 5’7. In comparison, our other points are Walker at 5’8, Powell at 5’6, and Miles at 5’4. Looking forward to great things from Edie.

I see Edia geting minuets this year. If tennessee press alot they may not many games of three or four players getting 28-33 minuets of playing time. Powell is point guard who be starting if she as good as some say. Nice to have a natural point guard. Walker might have games where she gets more minuets it point. Walker may get time at 2 or 3 spots Miles should be improved . Only saw two of Edia senior games and one jurior high school games on youtube. But she hit passes and does have way assiat than turnovers. She has good speed to. High school ball is one thing than sec but But taking care of the basketball will get you playing time soonier or later. Lets not forget she 3 point option.

By continuing to open your trap, you are doing nothing but providing additional proof of your lack of intelligence!! 🤣🤣🤣

Does anyone know when the team media day is? It’s normally the week leading up the to exhibition game, so I image it’ll be one day this week.

Voice of realism here. Edia is a project player -- meaning she has potential but needs time to develop into a competent D1 player. Volfan2012 reports that she has looked better than expected in practice, which is great, but practices and game situations are different.

So, she will see some minutes in the early season mismatches and then probably not much more, particularly because this team is so stacked this season. She obviously signed on for the long haul and not immediate playing time.

Kellie will play the players who are ready for this level of comp. and are ready to get the LVs over the final four hump. Enjoy who is on the floor and let's not start another "free" the player who is not getting minutes vibe.

I said walker and powell get most of point guard minuets. And miles will be improved. If tennessee presses alot i see kellie maybe playing most of her guards. From three of her highschool games on youtube i saw she hits her passes does not turn it over. Not saying she not #4 point guard. I think she better than some on here think.

They may not many games where tenn press 20 plus mins. But she kellie will sub in out players.. I was saying in games where ladys press most of the game. I see her getting some mins. They be less time for 10-16 on depth roster vs top 25 teams. On tess kellie said in interviews her first year tess was limited in practice. Tess was not ready to start year more her leg injury her first year on rocky top. Tess would have easier time learing to play in sec her first year no injury having her miss practice if Rae had not hurt her knee. Sara or Tess would have had some open looks in Rae andHorston not got hurt.

madtownvol you miss part where edia has a handle just a good as miles and plays similard defence hawing the ball. This is not a play Edia campain but i see why Edia Darby preferred walkon. Andbody watches her two high schoool one junior games on youtube she takes care of the ball. And you did hear questions from me on kellie playing time last year. Like some wanted tess to sit more. Kellie will play who she thinks give tenn best chance to win end of games. And after starters get ime to get them ready for deeper run ncaa. While geting bench mins when she can!
