I apologize for the misplacement of my question below, but I didn't want to start a whole thread about it and not sure where to put it. I have been on other boards before where posters can send emails through the site to other people who post on the board without using anyone's personal emails, but I haven't seen any description about this possibility here. Is it not a thing? I also don't know how to start a "conversation". My ignorance about this is a bit embarrassing, but my persistent curiosity about these things is stronger than my ego. Thanks.

Any possibility she gets another year? ... and maybe transfer to Missouri

DW has a covid yr left. If she is able to get healthy and in shape imo thats a real possibility.

I'd say Kaiya is also a possibility. All her best buds will be gone and frankly, they're bringing in several younger players who do what she does only better and they're younger. Maybe not, she's a TN girl fm Nashville, but wouldn't be all that surprised.

I don’t see Kaiya going anywhere, never know, but she and Kim seem extremely close.

I don’t foresee us having any transfers hopefully.

Even if DW gets healed up I’m not sure she’ll ever be able to go again. Didn’t seem like she healed right from her first surgery and now looking at another her playing days are probably done unless she transfer back to a mid-major.

The only problem I see right now is numbers for the portal. Everyone counts against your fifteen this next coming season even Edie. You can only have a total of 15 players. Were right now sitting at two scholarships for portal players. That might be enough, but three or four might be needed if the right players become available.

Going to Missouri can be tough or easy. If she wins 20 games and makes the NCAA she can stay there forever. Hopefully it won't be anything like the last coach faced no one can survive those records.

Pingeton left Mizzou with a .534 winning percentage. She survived there for 15 years. The previous coach (Cindy Stein) had a .511 win percentage and coached there for 12 years. The program's first NCAA coach was Joann Rutherford who had a .617 win percentage and coached at Mizzou for 23 years. I'm pretty sure the chances of Harper getting a quick hook are slim.

Kellie Harper Named Mizzou Women’s Basketball Head Coach - University of Missouri Athletics

COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Director of Athletics Laird Veatch announced Tuesday that Kellie Harper has been hired as the head coach of the Mizzou women's
mutigers.com mutigers.com

“Overall, Harper compiled a 108-52 record at Tennessee, including a 53-24 mark against SEC competition, ranking third in winning percentage in league games behind only LSU's Kim Mulkey and South Carolina's Dawn Staley.”

“She is one of only three coaches all-time to produce four straight first-round picks in the WNBA Draft.”

Kellie is also one of only two Coaches who have taken four programs to the NCAA Tournament, now she’ll have a chance to be the only Coach ever to take five programs to the NCAA Tournament.

"I am thrilled for the hiring of Kellie Harper as Mizzou's next women's basketball coach," said former Mizzou All-American Sophie Cunningham (2016-19), the program's all-time leading scorer and now a member of the WNBA's Indiana Fever. "Kellie and her husband, Jon, have experienced winning both in Missouri and in the SEC. I have so much respect for Coach Harper, and I can't wait to support her and our Tigers however I can. I know from experience how incredible this fan base is when they're excited about women's basketball, and I can't wait to get Mizzou Arena rockin! Congratulations to Laird, the Board of Curators and Mizzou Nation on a fantastic hire. MIZ baby!"


Well, I just saw the news on ESPN, and I am thrilled and so happy for Coach Kellie Harper. Missouri has just hired one of the best Coaches in the country, and one they’ll be proud of. Smart, well spoken, never blaming her players, always courteous and respectful, Coach Kellie is a respected competitor. She’s also fearless. It’s a rebuild, but hey, Kellie brought Rickea, Spear, and T. Cooper to Tennessee, and had Brooks (I believe that was her name) and Finley Chastain coming. Not comparing Coach Kellie to a prophet, but the saying seems to apply, a prophet is not respected in his own hometown, so I think Missouri will love Coach Kellie Harper, and yes, even though she has to start over again, I believe she will win National Championships.

Congrats to Missouri, and to Coach Kellie Harper!

Interesting. I wish Coach Harper well. I hope she gets to find joy in coaching again. The truth is Missouri and Coach Harper have a lot to worry about other than the outlier VN crew trying to build this narrative of Harper vs Caldwell.
Danny White made the perfect hire when folks threw dirt on the #1 brand and most historic program in WBB.
Since Tennessee has beaten 5 quality NCAA tourney teams & earned a higher seed than last year, Top 5 win vs UConn, and a top recruiting class including 3 McDAAs.
And with sites like this one, all this stuff folks on here take to social media to discredit any success Coach Caldwell and Danny White has made with the WBB program in year 1 is about to be aimed at Coach Harper. Be careful how you talk down against other coaches/teams because it always comes right back at you.

People forget just how great an athlete Carter was (is), and had she not had to give up playing due to injuries ... if she'd been HEALTHY for four years? I always believed she could have been one of the top 20 all-time greatest Lady Vols. She had SO much potential.

Of course, because she had to give up playing the sport, in her desire to stay connected to it she took up broadcasting, and IMO she is already (IMO) one of the top 20 analysts on the air today. She is actually my personal favorite. What a talent!

Vol family check it out. They are young and eager, but just as important talented while being guided by a strong family. Coach Caldwell is before her time folks. That is a fact.
Ain’t no back and forth with insignificant dialogue on VolNation lets keep it real Trim!
Enjoy the podcast and lets just locked in on this NCAA tourney.
GBO ‘solid!’

For those that watched the podcast above with The Pauldo twins, what’s your take? The part that stood out was when the Pauldo twins and their dad DJ talked about their 1 1/2 to 2 hour meeting with Coach Caldwell. They talked about her breaking down film and coaching the X’s and O’s.
Also, how strong of a basketball mind and understanding of the game she has in her mid 30s.
The dad said on the way back and when they made it home he already had a strong connection with Tennessee and the staff. He felt that was the school for Mia and Mya.
The next part is huge. They were still going to take some visits which all recruits usually will and a name we haven’t heard came up which was UCLA. I’m paraphrasing but basically the dad said he told the girls “naw we good” in his unique dialect it’s Tennessee!
For all this NIL talk, all this truly elite talent, people are really underestimating the twins ability to be game changers on the college level. People really thought major colleges weren’t in the mix but that’s false as I’ve always known. They just didn’t want to separate and some schools still reached out to DJ trying to get him to consider them going to separate schools.
The Pauldo family is GBO ‘solid’!
That was an authentic interview. Take a listen.
