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.

The Lady Vols are absolutely loaded this season with experience and high end talent. Finding enough minutes for all the stars will be a job, let alone a walk on true freshman. She likely does not see even 2 minutes per game in reality and that is not a slight on her. It just isn’t happening this season.

All I know for sure is that Harper has enough capable players up and down that roster to wear opponents absolutely slap OUT. After the games opposing players and staff will be standing there during Tennessee's victory celebrations asking each other, "What in the hell just happened?!"

Meanwhile, the company that makes portable oxygen cannisters and Icy Hot will be calling up our players offering them NIL deals because they feel they owe it to them for creating so much business for them. Parents of opposing players will be on social media complaining about how unfair it is that their regular college girls have to play against that Tennessee team that NEVER wears out. It's the way I see it.

:p

And did Kellie have this caliber and dept of talent on that roster?

Roster full . But i think tennessee press more like 98 team. More fast breaks on on onfence. Less players geting 30 mins a game playing time. Edia will have earn her mins which will be hard for a freshmen on this team. but on handling the ball she on miles leval in practice. volfan2021 said that. I say she not 4 worst 3 point shooting point guard on the team.

True mins be hard to find on 16 player roster for freshmen. Just saying Edia preferred walkon is better than some on here think. Mins will be hard for her get top teams. But they are some sec teams teams where even freshmen might get more 2 mins Tenn will blow out some of the bottom teams in the sec.

Players who play for Kellie know their roles before they commit. She has a blueprint, literally, for how she sees players contributing to the team. Not every player has to score or even play significant minutes; they are still important to the team in many ways.

SEC WBB Bracket Revealed, Reserved Ticket Books On Sale Wednesday - University of Tennessee Athletics

If you have attended the tourney for a number of years, you were able to purchase ticket books 5 weeks ago. Better choice of seats, so it pays to go every year. You also get to know people you see every year at the tourney. Pretty cool to meet Lady Vols fans from around the country. Some have no affiliation with UT or even the state of Tennessee, but they admire the program.

From what I have gathered and learned from many different sources this to me looks like your top ten Lady Vols this season and will be the main group that plays the most in the big games.

Powell, Horston, Jackson, Key, Walker, Suarez, Hollingshead, Franklin, Darby, and Puckett. Miles should play at least a few minutes a game as a change of pace. Striplin, Wynn, and Pissott certainly will play but may sit some games when we have to cut the rotation. They all seem to be out basically because of numbers. Edie not going to play much maybe in some huge blowouts roster is just to loaded and to many bodies to work with to get everybody in every forty minute game and you wouldn't want to as that would really upset execution and teamwork.

Exactly what I said. I think Striplin is behind Suarez, Hollingshead, and Franklin for playing time. Pissott may be a different story she could really challenge Darby and Walker for some of their minutes. Wynn I need to see as she could pass a lot of people if she can suddenly shoot the ball from even 10 feet.

you sure?

was Tess ready to play college ball when she hit the floor for those 11 starts?
first 3 games 3/19 16%
through 11 games 16-56 28%
Click to expand...
Going by your numbers, the first 3 games brought down her average. In the next 8 games, she shot 35%. All our players get early experience, which really helped last year, when we had to play Freshmen.

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.

Her name is Edie, as in Edie Gormet, Edie Adams, Edie Woodall (my favorite neighbor when I was growing up). 😀
