Transfer Portal 22-23

Yes she is, she won’t be hurting for deals.

Is Reese transferring?

 

[Mr. Doo Wop]

Who would Tennessee rather have, Morrow or Betts, if they had a choice?

I’m rooting for her don’t get me wrong, but do u remember all the times she couldn’t catch a pass or just put her hands up when a small guard snatched a rebound from her?

There is no doubt that TK has to get better in some areas of her game. All those areas can be improved with off season workouts and commitment to improve. She needs to work with a real post coach to improve her skills and put in some time in the weight room. I say the same goes for Hollingshed.

As far as the rest of the team is concerned, each and everyone of them need to work on their game. We can’t just depend upon the portal. We need to also learn to work with the hand we have been dealt. They could all use speed and quickness drills, where they learn to play on the balls of their feet. Everyone needs to spend time in the weight room. They all need medicine ball drills to improve their hands. They need to practice shooting drills with players in their face. Puckett and Darby are good shooters if they are open, however, good shooters can shoot with the slightest of daylight. We need consistent shooters who do not disappear in above average competition. What we need is all around consistency on both sides of the ball.

Betts to South Carolina an early guess. Probably wants to be on a team where post play is important.

Not like that little guard Brink.

Sounds like you’re saying we need to start all over?

No not start all over just improve what you have. I see a lot of potential on this team that has not been tapped. With Horston going to the WNBA, we need to upstep our game in a lot of areas. I still believe that we have not seen the best of Piscott, Puckett, or Striplin.

Baylor has picked up some nice players. Don’t think they are as talented as what she started with though. Expect them to slide again next season.

Exactly

Morrow but my first choices are Jefferson and Donarski.

Betts no doubt younger

In previous posts I’ve said Key needs to practice catching medicine balls, and people said I was being negative, she also needs to learn to keep the ball high and go up strong. Darby has one of the quickest releases I’ve ever seen but she just needs more mobility.

Joy McCovery has coached two All -American Posts in her short time coaching and was an excellent undersized post at St Johns. I don't know what you mean by "Real Post Coach" considering Joy has already coached two to All -American accolades.

We have lowered our standards. Get who we can and praise the heck out of them and hope for the best. Hope they work on things in the off season that they should’ve learned during years for AAU/ High School and youth basketball. I remember some people acting like Pissott was gonna light it up. Let’s face it folks. We don’t recruit well. I’m baffled as to why top developed recruits aren’t lining up to wear the tradition of greatness on their backs. What’s gives?

Finally someone else said it, my standards are high and that’s what they don’t like on here. Pissott has a lot of work to do, let’s see what she does in the off-season. As far as recruits go we need to get those game changers, the true number ones. I think that happens when we start winning more.

And winning starts at the top.

Tess, Sara, Karoline and Pissott are slow and get bear one on one defensively. Better try to get faster

 

[mudcat1973]

lauren butts #1 player from last year has enter the transfer portal. where will she go?

 

[Deebowbear]

Wild!

need her

Tradition of greatness resonates with fans who were around two decades ago. Ask a teenager, unprompted, to tell you about Pat.

For the last decade and a half we have been one of a number of pretty good teams. That won't lead top recruits to beg to play at UT.

 

[Deebowbear]

Both my guess Betts because of no one knows how Key will do plus have our big for next year

Who recruited slow?

 

[Deebowbear]

Morrow but my first choices are Jefferson and Donarski.

We want get any players like that if she content with what she has. Only players she will get I think are backups. You get 2 out 3 of those and we are top 3 or 4

 

[Deebowbear]

Who recruited slow?

Looks like Kellie did think that’s was the best she could get

 

[Deebowbear]

I don’t think a lot people watch the games they play or you would see this
