Coach Sam is following her now, so I know she’s on our radar, I guess we have to see if we can close the deal.

Is there a way to see when a coach starts following a person. Some of these players these coaches may have been following for awhile even maybe to HS.

I'm not sure, but if you scroll through her followers, you can suddenly see a cluster of followers from all of Texas's assistant coaches, Missouri's coaches, and Coach Sam. :p Could just be how the Twitter algorithm has grouped them all together.

Seriously! Wells's offensive numbers last season were outstanding and better than any guard Tennessee's had at least in the Her Hoop Stats era (since 2009). She's above the 95th percentile in so many categories, it's insane. Yes, we'll have to see how that plays out at the P5 level, but I really think her game will translate well.

No question Wells will translate “well”….she has the skills and intangibles, great pickup for UT.

If it’s close to the top it’s recent, if it was since high school u would have to scroll for a while, and for me since I’m checking everyday I notice when someone’s new.

For years people complained about our PG position. She doesn't have a good name you say she is decent i say she is a good pick up. We shall see how it works but she is in orange and i'm excited about the ones we know we landed!

I don’t go off of name I look at their game, I was high on Kiki Jefferson and she wasn’t from a power 5, but I notice the talent and elite skills she has.

Spear's numbers this last season: 16.5 pts on 37.7% fg and 35% 3 pt shooting. Took by far the most shots on the team, over half were 3s. 84% ft shooter. 3.7 rebounds per game, had one more turnover than assist so a neg a/t.o. ratio.

One thing that really impressed me on the highlight video was her body control on some of the drives. Approached Rickea-like level a few times. I wonder how her D is.

Now you've got me intrigued... what is it about Wells that makes you think she doesn't have elite skill or talent ? I am just curious not an argument and I do believe Wells conference was better overall... I could be wrong

I have alot of hope for Wells as a major contributor. We got her so early and so fast it does seem like we forget that accomplishment. The rest of portal season has been soooo freakin slow though. Alot due to players milking it like it was Elsie the Borden Cow. Speaking of, didn't we start getting a countdown clock from Morrow about a week ago? Any sighting of HVL? I know there's no hurry but I don't remember decisions being this pokey last year.

I hate doing this but I’ll just say she’s very good for being 5’5. The things that I think might be a problem are her size for on, she fast but I haven’t seen good handle, like breaking the defender down and pulling up or driving. Most big time point guards can break u down and side step or step back 3 and I haven’t seen her with the ability to do that, Kiki Jefferson can do all of those things for reference.

But she’s a good spot up 3 point shoooter and very quick with the ball, so she can get by without having to dribble much, but for me I think she will have a hard time against the elite guards, but that’s just my opinion and I hope I’m wrong. Maybe she will turn into a All American after all.

Don't hate doing it...It's a convo. I don't think you are being disrespectful at 5'6 im not worried about her size though. There are some shorter PGs in the portal right now that'll do damage at their next schools Day-Wilson, Diamond Johnson felm NC state and MSU just landed a 5'2/5'3 player. Destinee will drive on you and take contact because she has a solid build.

It's all good we don't need her to be an All American but i think she will steady the PG position. oh and i hope and pray they leave her open... nobody on our team shoots 45.5 from 3 so i'm looking forward to that

She shot 29% from 3 the year prior, so maybe she will shoot somewhere between that, but if she shoots 45% I think she will have a great season.

what's her overall average ? and 45 % better in a better conference let's not forget that. 29% is not great but her overall 3 pt percentage speaks to her shooting ability and the 45 was awesome.

Not to mention her FT percentage.... check that out while you are checking stats. Gonna be great to put the ball in her hands and pretty much know if she gets sent to the line she will make it... been awhile 🤣

I said in an earlier post that she was a great Ft shooter. The bottom line is she’s an upgrade from last year, that’s about all u can ask for.
