Transfer Portal 22-23

[Volfan2012]

That’s the player we need, I hope we can find a way to get her and Donarski.

I am kind of giving up on Donarski think she is leaning Indiana. The portal should really explode this week if it is ever going to happen. 358 in was 1300 last year. I don't think were getting to 1300 this year.

I noticed that as well with her following the Indiana players, give me Jefferson and Padilla and I’m good.

I do like Padilla she can score and shoot the ball very well.

She is not really a guard more an inside four which we have plenty of already. Your right we need smaller and quicker. She will be great for someone hard to handle inside and the mid-range.

She could be a 4 for us with Rickea playing the 3 which is the skillset she needs to continue developing to be the star she’s going to be at the next level

I'm certainly not against her being a Lady Vol I just like a few other players better. If they choose to get her here I think she certainly helps the team be better.

I think Kiki is still the best overall player in the portal at this time. She has an inside and outside game and can rebound.

You think kJH has contacted her yet?

Have no idea, but if she hasn't that would really be a negative cause you have to at least contact and see if she sees Tennessee as an option.

So you're not a contributor, I guess. You can expect all you want, but until we can compete in the NIL arena, we can't and won't get the players you say that we need.

NIL money wasnt a thing when Holly was coach now was it. And how much i have given or have not given is no ones business. As a Lady Vol fan for my 52 years on this planet i have a right to expect more.

Like i said what i give and dont give is no ones business. I dont come on here to brag about how much money i can throw around.

We can take Gakdeng off our wishlist:

You mean like Kellie did in first bringing Powell and then Wells in (over Brooklyn Miles), Hollingshead (over Striplin) and Jackson last year (over Puckett)? And I'm sure Kellie isn't done either. I'm hoping she's looking for a better option at SG (over Darby).

Any coach that isn't looking to improve their roster through portal additions or recruitment isn't a very good coach.

Hollingshead should be starting over Striplin everyday of the week and twice on Sunday

She better

You know that and I know that, but consider the coach...

Yes but I’m mainly talking about the 2 athletes we had in Rickea and Jordan, they rarely played 30 mins, if Reese can play 35 plus mins so should they.

Not true at all. In fact, Rickea very often played at least 35 mins in close games, including 35, 38 and 36 on 3 straight days in the SEC tourney and, 36 against Va Tech. Season high 46 in the double overtime game at Miss St. Since the start of SEC season, unless the game was a runaway or the rare occassions she got in foul trouble, Rickea almost always played at least 30 mins. And certainly never showed any indication she couldn't have played more.

She did not get enough minutes early in the season, but that had nothing to do with conditioning.

Same for Jordan H. She was in foul trouble a little more, but outside of that and lopsided games, she played only slightly less than Rickea and always played 30+ in close or big games.

BTW, Jordan Walker played 48 mins that godawful night in Starkville.

Aren't these next few days a dead period?

Dead period just ended. Was March 30-April 3

Men's basketball is this week, thanks for clarifying...

I didn't think it would take him long to get going and she is an excellent player.

I’m impressed they made the EE this season. Really did not think they would. I had them getting upset in the first two rounds in almost all my brackets.

Dude can coach and really gets his team motivated for the post season. Took them a while to work out their lineup just like us.

I noticed she did towards the end of the season, but she could have done so in a few of those games we loss early on.

Well that's pretty different from "rarely" and as I said, she actually started playing around 30 mins a game as soon as it got real w SEC games and it became apparent no one in the lesser SEC could stop her. Not just towaard the end.

But I totally agree RJ's limited mins early on was a misuse of her abilities.

Te-Hina PaoPao just entered the portal my lordy. Wonder where she lands. My guess is Stanford.

 

[VolFuture]

Side note: both Hayes at MSU are in the portal. Probably end up at WKU with sister bc I don’t see anyone going after them realistically. Maybe the older one but the younger hasn’t played since ND

Wow. It feels like Anastasia's been in college for a decade, would she be eligible to transfer without sitting out?
