Doesn't who you play twice rotate? Last year it was So Carolina, because of course it was. Also Vandy as the rival game. Maybe they've dropped "rivalry" altogether and will just rotate thru 2x opponents.

Under the old scheduling format, you played three teams twice, one permanent “rival” and then two that rotated. With the new conference, they voted to not have a permanent team that you played twice. That will change if they expand the conference schedule after next year, as expected.

She's a great interviewee. Sharp, honest, concise, no bs. Realistic and level headed. Self assured but humble, knows and admits to what she doesn't know.

Been saying don't sleep on Sara. She's been suffering fm the soft bigotry of low white girl expectations. As I suspected, the hunt is on for 3 pt shooters and sounds like Sara, Jewel and Tess are it so far. Very cool to see Sara step up as the leader; it;s natural since she, Kayia and Tess have been here through it all.

They've done well recruiting given the circumstances, but at some point it won't do to run with #77 instead of #3 bc #77 embraces the system. It's fine for the stage of the build we're in right now. Eventually, to get to the grown up table w So Car and the gals, we have to get elite recruits who also are willing and able, and are both athletic and skilled. That's why I'm bummed about Nyla Brooks.

She couldn't be more realistic that they'll take lumps and great answer about the schedule. I just wish her boss had not oversold the situation like a big belly, jacket too small used car salesman in her introductary pressor. She's told us in every way imaginable that this will indeed be a several year process and I hope she'll get grace. I just want to see enough progress to convince me the system is worth taking the lumps for.

I believe if we’re truly speaking facts and putting Coach Caldwell actual words in context she is saying her recruiting philosophy values finding the right players “fit” in her system without focusing heavily on player rankings.

In reality, Mia is ranked #13 and a dynamic 5- star PG. The highest rated commit of all of the known targets of the new staff including Henderson and Brooks. Mia is a game changer. Mya ranking dropped due to injury. Same as with Kaniya Boyd. These players have excellent HS film and led their programs to multiple state championships. Watch the film and you will understand that guard skill is plentiful in Knoxville.

The best footage of the day right here… very intentional and team oriented basketball on full display in this clip.
I believe this team has 6 or 7 players that can average double figures in scoring and maintain it through SEC play.
Coach Caldwell says she hope to go 10 or 11 deep. The team has quality depth.
By far one of the most athletic teams in the SEC.
