She said the quiet part out loud finally.

Too much having to worry about who, how and when during those early games against ranked opponents and not enough “win.”

That’s the thing I probably like most about Mulkey. She’s got one goal by the time that clock hits 0 and that is to WIN. She’s going to play the best players for that moment to win the game.

Kellie really wants consistency and a set rotation but that’s just not always going to happen. Sometimes you’ve just got to get out there and win with the pieces you have, however you need to. Can’t always be predictable, that’s her analytical math brain getting in her own way sometimes.

she said early in season they where "trying to win" which said took looger to learn play with each other new players because of top 25 early in season. never heard said "not enough wins"

I really hope Pissott works on her defense and the staff plays her at the 4. She doesn’t have the lateral quickness to defend guards but would make a perfect stretch 4 with some muscle building this off season.

Hollingshed gets herself down and can guard on the perimeter. I don’t think that was explored enough. At her height I was seriously impressed with her ability to keep smaller, quicker players in front.

Didn’t happen much but I remember several times this season players thought they were gonna take Jill off the bounce and she shut them down. If she does get beat she has great length for the block.

I’m crazy but I could imagine Wells, Pissott, Jackson, Hollingshed and Key against some teams. Have Wells, Hollingshed and Jackson guard the perimeter and Pissott and Key in the post. Talk about imposing. That lineup would be massive and actually not that slow.

Jackson showed what she’s capable of defensively in the tournament. That’s part of the next step for her. I was really impressed with her in the Toledo game. That was the best defensive motor and smarts I saw her play with all season. She had Lockett locked down every time she was on her. She has length and quickness and has to use them to her advantage defensively as well as offensively.

I think Wynn has the potential to have a Rae Burrell type breakout season. She has the athleticism. There are many parallels between the two for me. Burrell always had a little better shot than Kaiya, but their energy is the same. Wynn just has to focus that energy in the right moments and improve her finishing.

Have yet to see a player keep her in front, she just has trouble around the rim.

Nice Article on Destinee Wells. Father's love, daughter's determination lead to Lady Vols

Awesome article. Peep those compliments…got to look good to a few others in the portal.

Proud of the staff for locking it down with one visit. You know there were some really great programs that reached out to her.

Also doesn’t sound like there was any tampering, even sounds like we came in a little late. Closed that deal though baby!

View attachment 545863Updated version of the Tennessee roster for next season and beyond. Looks at least according to this site that Tamari has been granted the medical redshirt. Five open scholarships expect to use two for sure and up to four depending on who we get in the portal.

Good to see questions about Key and Wells staying 2 years … and start seeing the verbals start showing up (Nyla Brooks ) ! Go get some more Kellie ! 🙏

Pat was demonstrative, but largely composed. Mulkey is over-the-top and melodramatic as hell. Every foul call, she's got that "someone just ran over my dog" shocked look on her face. She sulks and pouts and gestures and wheels around like a stage actor - and it's been obvious for years now that it's all an act she puts on for whatever reason.

Wasn't it the SEC tournament last year where Mulkey went nuts complaining to the refs, to the point she caused them to review a play (that was obviously not in LSU's favor), and while the officials were at the video review, she was caught winking at one of the LSU radio people with a smile on her face? Totally composed. All part of the act.

I know KM respects Pat and I think many Vol fans can respect that about her - but she is still a melodramatic sideshow out there. Again, Pat was forceful, but she was never a carnival barker.

KM teaches her players to be bully’s. Reese uses that elbow to hook players arms. She tried that in Knoxville and got them beat. The girl with the Shirley Temple hairstyle leads with her shoulder all the time and usually gets away with it. There are others. Mulkey wears those outlandish clothes and acts like a drama Queen for a reason. Pat “worked” the referees to perfection. They knew when she was unhappy with them.

Reese also lunges a shoulder into her defender to get space quite often. And gets away with it MOST of the time.

Yes, she does. She also got in the Iowa stars face and exhibited one of the worst examples of sportsmanship that I can remember…….ever!

I'm so glad this site is deciding to take a less racist approach ... That and not calling people out there names

Va_Volfan, I have always enjoyed your knowledgeable and informative posts,though I have noticed that the number of your posts has dropped measurably over the last few weeks. Is that because of the name calling and/or approach that you mention? I’m just an old fogie and some posts cause concern,but I do believe one’s true nature eventually becomes evident. We go through posters who constantly disparage our team and coaches,others who always have to have the last word, and ones who are better coaches than any of ours. All eventually show their true selves. Please do not stay away, but continue to give us your insights and thoughts. My best to you.

Awe, thank you ! The site World Exposure Report is a twitter site (not a poster) on here. i believe in disliking teams , found hard on them, and being a fan of your team. That site was TOTALLY RUDE to Aliyah Boston and her teammates along with Dawn. They got nasty about Kellie and company here as well and they have been known to take personal shots at players (which of course they got called out for and deleted). So when I saw it posted I was being genuine in my statement.

The posters on here aren't bad. Some can get carried away but not enough to run me off lol... Life has happened but thank you for the kind words and i check in from time to time to see how my volnation peeps are doing 😁
