Is there a reason you want to push the narrative toward the negative?

The narrative? lol you stated something that was incorrect and I corrected you. Not sure what 'narrative' you're talking about. If you don't want to be corrected then post correct information. You sound like someone who has no idea how expensive college is.

I didn’t say it was a full ride. I said it was part of a full ride. Please read and think carefully. High school grad?

 

[LadyOrange]

Okay? It's still not a full ride.

You clearly can’t infer.

 

[volman128]

You said: She’ll no doubt have a Tennessee Hope Scholarship (pretty close to full ride)

Own your L and cope. Maybe you worded it wrong, or maybe you don't know how to correctly use parentheses, but that's your issue not mine.

BTW, you have no idea what other scholarships she'll get on top of HOPE, anyway. It's not like every smart kid gets to go to college for free. Very, VERY few people get their college paid for in full via scholarship they're not on an athletic scholarship. Tuition is simply too high.

 

[volman128]

You clearly can’t infer.

You clearly can't properly convey your thoughts. Again, your issue not mine.

Tennessee was 25-9 and made it to the Sweet 16 with multiple key injuries plus youth in key positions. The returning core was good enough to at least get back to the NCAA tourney w/o any major additions.
This 2022 recruiting class that Tennessee has landed on Rocky Top could be a starting lineup and make the NCAA Tourney
PG Jasmine Powell
SG/Wing Justine Pissott
SF Rickea Jackson
PF Jasmine Franklin
C Jillian Hollingshead

With the 1-15 roster at Tennessee if this is true.. this is a Top 5 team possibly higher and not a stretch to say capable of being #1 in the country. Last year, Tennessee ranked as high as #4 if I’m not mistaken. I’m happy for this group. Could be a special year.

How do you keep 15 roster players happy YOU DONT that starting 5 is ALL new players to Tennessee.
I dont see kellie playing 10 much less 15 in a game

Some of the players that might see more bench time this season will have alot more room on the floor next season. Junior and Senior year will be big for them.

Could be but pencil in Jordy and TK somewhere becuz if they show improvement like they did last year you don't keep them off the court

That’s not what I said! Reread the post. I said the recruiting class could be a starting lineup on their own and have the ability to compete as a starting 5 good enough to make a NCAA tourney. I’m talking about their skill set. Obviously Powell, Jackson, and Franklin were starters for most or their entire careers up until this point so they are coming here to compete for a starting spot. Never once did I say all these 5 would start next season at Tennessee. Having quality depth is an asset.

I’m talking hypothetically. I’m not saying Tennessee will start these 5 players next season nor do I expect Tamari or Horston to come off the bench. Come on now I don’t see how people got that from the post..

If more than one of us thought that it maybe it was the delivery. Regardless cool and i get your point now.

Why not?

My theory....

Coach Kellie and her staff have assembled one hell of a club...This club was put together to win now, due in a large part that a number of these ladies will be moving on after this season...

The new members, that just came here, know what is going to happen with regards to playing time...A lot of players will need to see the floor..

Victory will be a team effort...I'd tell them we have 15 starters...No one starter is more important than any other starter...We are going to be rotating players in and out as the situations arise...

On defense, we are going to go full court press and run the other team ragged, then send in fresh legs to take away the opponents second wind...Tired legs, and sucking lungs gasping for air, make very few 3 balls...

On offense, we are going to run and gun, once again wearing out the opponents will to resist by taking their wind again...

That's just a rough synopsis of what I would do...This will be a team like we have not seen before..There will be a lot of moving parts..

 

[madtownvol]

Why not?

Exactly. Folks always find something to gloom and doom about. If Kellie had not signed all this new talent, then it would have been the sky is falling!!!! She does sign great new talent, and the dang sky is still falling.

I am 100% confident that Kellie and staff have already figured out the player management side of it.

I think you have a sound theory. I will add that we have a lot of guard depth that will be leaving after this season. The Jordans. Powell, and Jackson. So, even it Miles, Wynn, and Marta, don't get major minutes this season, they will know there time is coming and they can be part of a great team legacy.

 

[Memvol44]

Jaz massengill is going to FSU . She really should’ve stayed with the Vols

No thanks ..

I think Powell came in saying “She would play her extra (COVID) year ? Which will help the point guard position for 23 …But we could still use a point guard (freshman) for 23 ! I like Valez from Webb because I have seen her play . But the others we are after are probably ok ? I am a believer in getting a point guard every year ! JMO

Yes. As media have reported numerous times, Kellie has a blueprint for how she expects players to contribute to the team. She discusses it with each player before the player commits.

 

[mike099]

I like the idea of having a full roster. At any one time during the season a team may have multiple players out due to injury. Also a player commits multiple turnovers they sit and someone else gets a chance to earn more playing time.

 

[sisaq]

No thanks ..

Yes, I stand corrected. She will have the covid year option. An even better pick-up than I had realized.

 

[Dak1219]

Yes, I stand corrected. She will have the covid year option. An even better pick-up than I had realized.

All of the seniors other than Walker and Franklin will have the Covid year eligibility available to them. Rickea is quoted as saying she would make that decision down the road. It would be nice to have her two years as well.

I agree having depth is a great thing however I do know basketball and I know you cannot keep 15 athletes happy especially when you have alot of "stars" from previous schools. How will all of the girls mesh how will the chemistry be. The new recruits didn't come in to sit the bench i can tell you that. I'm just saying who starts is irrelevant at this point but no way kellie is going to be able to play 10+ and give the players the time they expect or want and some of them will basically be none existent next season .... All I'm saying is it will be a tuff job assignment to give everyone what they want ...
No negativity just my opinion
