Tennessee Lady Vol News

This article is/was click bait. Dawn meant "a" top pick, not "the" top pick. People who don't like CC took this and ran with it. Almost every SEC coach said the same thing post game about RJ, lol esp the ones who had no clue how to stop her.

I irrationally sports can't stand Clark (the theatrical flopping and whining mostly) and therefore I'm sick as hell of the nonstop coverage as if she invented the game. But undeniably she's earned huge viewership and interest. Not sure she's the greatest player of all time but she's definitely the greatest shooter and scorer ever (in the women's game) and it's not close.

Setting off a bomb here, alot of the loathing of CC is at least partially racial. Started last spring when the confrontation w Angel got racialized. Now alot of African American WBB fans are very open in saying they resent a white player being crowned in a game built on the backs of black women. Same for Clark in the W, there's already huge resentment toward Sabrina Inoescu for the same reason. Much resentment for "the face of the league", which is predominately black, being white. Not saying who's right or wrong but IMO this is the nub of the issue.

Clark deserves her accolades, F the bs thrown out there by anyone, name a better all around player.

Indiana franchise are Morans if they don't take Clark #1 . She is box office and will put behinds in the seats.

Isn't that the Ultimate goal of WNBA to build their fan base on the National Scene?

The Fever will take CC first. As I said above, Dawn meant RJ would be "a" top pick, not "the" top pick.

I’ll take 500 Caitlin Clarks over 1 Diana Taurasi.

x1000. DT couldn't shoot like this. No one could. And DT's attitude was much worse.

I just want to reply and say Ohtani for N.L MVP since I’m a Dodger fan.

 

[SGMVols]

Love Rickea but any GM who has a chance to take Caitlin Clark and doesn’t do it should be fired on the spot. She is the best WCBB player of all time. I’m not sure Iowa would even be a tournament team without her and she almost single handedly carried them to a national title last year and may well do it again this year.

Of course I'm a Dodgers, Cowboys and Lakers fan since the 70's

My whole family have been Dodger fans since Koufax and Drysdale.

It's a Family Tradition..

I’m a 49er fan so u know how I feel about the Cowboys lol. But I think u might have something in Trey Lance, I felt we would regret trading him.

Dodgers, Lakers, Titans, Aces, Lady Vols,Vols, Football Vols, Softball Lady Vols, Baseball Vols, Tennis, Volley Ball and Soccer Vols and Lady Vols. When Candace retires no longer an Aces fan. I just follow Candace wherever she goes.

I follow the Aces as well because of Candace but it hurts since I don’t like certain player/players on the team but I need to support my girl no matter what.

I liked it better when she was with the Chicago Sky cause I liked a lot of the other players there. The Aces kinda split down the middle of likes and dislikes of players.

 

[Volfan2012]

Teams I don't like anything Alabama or Florida, MIssouri football is also becoming a team I dislike, Yankees, Celtics, and Phoenix in the WNBA and New York Liberty. Also San Diego Padres and San Francisco Giants.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I’m with you on Phoenix and the Liberty, and also the Yankees, Padres and Sf Giants, but I need to add the Seattle Seahawks.

Where did that come from?

I heard the same non sense being said last year. Actually with the amount of playing time Teonni has been getting at North Carolina she should come to Tennessee and play a year with Tamari. That 4 spot is gonna be wide open for someone to claim.

 

[Dak1219]

say the last part out loud so you can hear yourself.

I just said the exact same and another post before reading yours. I thought Teonni would be a great addition and would give us a 6-4 lefty who can step out and shoot the ball but also play in the paint and rebound.

She would make a really nice reserve I think, would love for her to come to Knoxville. Really has not developed much at NC but has had some injuries.

Don’t need no reserves need starters

 

[Rooster1]

Can’t see her starting for a P5 team, ever.

 

[Volfan2012]

Teonni has been a big miss thus far. The number 9 ranked player in the 2021 class has barely played. I don't think she leaves Carolina may play a lot there next season. She would be a suspect recruit just hasn't played enough to really know what she can do. Mostly injured first two seasons now seems to be way down the bench.
