Terrible idea for us to play in that at this point. Gonna get smoked by two teams. Blah

Unless we have a portal miracle or a new coach next season is going to be long, arduous and under .500.

If they retain Kellie and she schedules similarly I won’t be watching. I’m not into watching self harm.

I wonder how good Iowa will be next season once Clark moves on?

Not that it would matter, because if Tennessee doesn't get a major portal haul, then they will be like Kentucky was this year.

I think we will get at least 1 elite player since Rickea is leaving, but we need a total of 4 starters to go along side Spear.

Same thing every year… y’all NVs don’t know what you talking about.

An old NV returning on VN don’t move nothing… Tennessee brand carries big WEIGHT 🍊! Like the announcement said, “ Tennessee is one of only a few.. champion of champions!

We got four scholarships to give maybe five. Returnees Puckett, Striplin, Hollingshead, Darby, Spear, Wells, Cooper, Boyd, Wynn, and Strickland. Tamari can return if she wants to medical redshirt. So five or four for the portal.

I think their portal outlook is 100% tied to how they finish the season. If they limp into the offseason and either miss the tournament or lose quickly in the first round, I'd think that would hurt their chances. "Elite" players will want to be part of a successful team.

Really just need a strong post player and a point guard. Will have to fill up all spots however cause only four players on roster in 2025. So they need four from portal all with two years to play and at least four to five in the 2025 class. So see how it works out. Really not in bad shape next season if we get another post or if Tamari returns again as she is eligible and would be much better than this season. Needs to concentrate on point guard although Boyd and Cooper can play there. Need elite scorer to go with Spear.

Uh, so they're putting us in a thing with UConn (70-13 in the last three years), Iowa (71-16 in the last three years), and Louisville (62-18 in the last three years)?

Um. Okay. Yeah. Yeah, that should go well. And stuff.

Us agreeing to play in something like that is just ridiculous. Maybe someone knows something I don't like two or three super stars are getting in the portal and coming here.

Maybe a couple of them will transfer to make more space.

I think we get one regardless since the spot opens up, players want to shine and this is still a big stage for them to come to, most of the other top programs have other elite stars already, we will be one that has an open spot.

Iowa is well coached and always has been. They lack talent but will always be a tough team.

They will be back to average after CC and Bluder knows that. Just how it goes.

If they think they can get portal players with two years or more eligibility and can get more than four really good ones. Yes we need a couple players to transfer in that situation. I feel like four in the portal is enough if she can get players in the 2025 recruiting class. All the players we are in on are elite and we need nine players between that class and the portal for a roster of 13 in 2025.

Not even sure we'll have the same coach. Heard it both ways one more year and goodbye after this season. It will be one or the other. Like you there will be some player buried on the bench somewhere that needs a chance to play or just wants a better situation.

Breaking news: I told y’all when WinnerCircle speaks to listen!

You heard it here first, Tennessee will sign 5 players from the portal.

A mix of veterans and underclassmen. Big-time talent and potential.

Get ready for another Top Portal Class and the first look at elite 4-star defensive guard Kaniya Boyd is going to expose a lot of the doubters.

This news today is huge.

This is the kind of recognition and respect 8 nat’l championships brings to the program and WBB.

Lets gooooo!

That would actually be better, that would make most of the players transfer out and we can make a better roster, Spear is the only one that needs to stay.

They have just as much talent as we do if u take Rickea off this team.

After looking at the rosters the only team you would worry about is UConn who had six injured and will get them all back along with most of the ones playing now. I am not sure Clark is leaving Iowa this season sure don't need the money and may want another season of college. Louisville loses a lot don't have much coming in so portal is their thing as well.
We could potentially put Key, Hollingshead, Puckett, Spear, and Cooper on the floor next season which is a good lineup that could compete with a Clarkless Iowa and Louisville, but not what UConn will have next season.

So Key not coming back? We'll only have five scholarships if she doesn't return as I am sure that Spear will be back and Wells.

You trying to take shots in-direct shots at a 5-star McD All-American that transferred to Rocky Top and will get exposed when the season starts.

That get back season is going to be epic!
Y’all are out of your minds… buried by players averaging 5-10 ppg… the NVs going out sad.

At this point this forum is bad for y’all health because you are living in a fantasy.

Tennessee name carry big weight🍊. The brand and face of the SEC!!

We used to carry weight, but in 2024 recruiting we got one high school player. In 2023 we got one and she is gone. We did do well in the portal now we have to have a 2025 high school class and a huge portal class can't be one or the other has to be both with just four players on the 2025 roster.

People can cherry-pick all of the stats to prove whatever they want to,,,Holly WAS not a good HC,,nuff said
Is Kellie worse or better?
Holly took over a team that was not headed in a downward trajectory and it spiraled downward.
Kellie took over Holly's dumpster fire.
It fell further (reaching a downward peak of net-96), 51 spots out of the top 25

Now, after embarrassing itself, the "team" is trying to rise and has.
TN has 5 games to go
2 they should win
3 they aren't given much of a chance
This is where the rubber meets the road

Kellie's team just played their best game in a very long while
Can she keep that momentum?

SC WILL lose a game,,no team goes on for long undefeated
SC has won 21 in a row and 35 in a row at home
We have two chances to upset their applecart
Click to expand...
CJ, not nit picking here, but SC has won 53 straight at home and 23 straight overall.
