Transfer Rumours

Ever since jannah first committed then decommitted then recommitted again, I've been hoping I would get to watch her play a meaningful game as a lady vol. her injuries seem to be playing a major setback though.. I'm sure holly is doing every thing possible to convince her to stay. If in fact jannah is the one talking transfer, you would think we would have heard something by now though, so maybe no news is good news.
 
This person is just trying to make sure the decision is right for them.

Regarding Jannah, she hasn't recovered from her two surgeries, and watching her, it's obvious. She is hobbled, and may never fully recover.

People including her in the rotation at all is very premature IMO. Her boyfriend really did a number on her, especially with not getting the rehab she desperately needed on her knee. And, well, beating her with a chain didn't help either.

The thing about Jannah is if she had not gotten hurt her junior year she would probably have been the number one ranked HS player in her class. With all her personal and family problems the knee probably never healed properly or was rehabbed properly. Such a shame. She was a great player.

Either way, holly has handled jannah's situation with the upmost professionalism and class. Whatever happens will happen and I'm already chopping at the bit for next season to start already.

Absolutely agree! Many coaches wouldn't have taken her after the decommit and the other issues.

What happened with Jannah has, and is, helping with other recruits and the family atmosphere at Tennessee. Parents know their daughters will be taken care of on and off the court here.
 
Haha the not knowing is the worse eh..at least the shock will be lessened when it finally comes out

lessened ? to be honest I think it may all be just a rumor, for rumors to keep growing,we will need more details ,as in a few names lol


of course saying that somebody will transfer out of any program is fairly accurate :)

When I say lessened, I mean that it won't hit us fans out of the blue bc of this thread and the talk of a potential transfer, so in a way we will be kinda prepared for it.
 
I've always said that I don't want to put a name out there, because there is a chance that her mind can change. Until it's announced, I won't say who it is.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if it does happen, and yes, because of this "rumor" people won't be surprised if/when it does come out.

If it doesn't happen, that's even better!
 
I really wish the mods had killed this thread. I do understand the curiosity aspect but to start a thread on the order of "I heard someone, maybe more, might be transferring? What you have heard" (i.e. let's really jump start the rumor mill)," is not productive.

Back when I was on the Summitt, there was endless speculation that Shanna Zolman was going to transfer because people knew someone who heard that someone else had said "she was not happy." And then more postes jumped in with their theories about why indeed, SZ would want to transfer and why that would be best for her because she was never gonna get minutes. You know what happened?

Her freakin' father posted a request to the board asking everyone to quit making up transfer BS about his daughter because she was looking forward to the next season and working hard in preparation.

Athletes form bonds and connections with their teammates; they learn that they can contribute in different ways and take pride in the tradition. It is not always about playing time. Some who don't get many minutes may take that as a challenge to improve. As outside (DISTANT outside observers) who only see the players during game situations, you have no idea what is going down in the locker room and what a given player's mindset really is.

To start speculating that a rising star like Nared, or key some to be key players like Russell who has undergone reconstructive surgery to contribute to the program, or clutch players Carter (who will be entering her academic senior) are transfer prospects, just makes the board look bad.

Hopefully no one transfers (that is my bet) but if someone does, you will hear about it when it is officially announded and then let your imaginations run wild guessing "why?"

I think you are giving this forum a little too much credit on the outcome of things. What's discussed on here by a few people will not effect the outcome in any way. The girls probably never even get on here and read any of this. I love the "this thread should have been killed" statement. Let's go burn some books while we are at it.
 
I'll make sure Obummy reads this page, or at least his minions..


Obama is a LOSER!

Orangemaniac,

Well, I am not suggesting that such speculation is going to push a given player to transfer. I said it makes the board look bad to engage in all kinds of random speculation about players' and their relation to the program (and which are generally going to be very, very wrong and often lead to negative crystal ball gazing--such as, Player X is won't get playing time, so she might as well transfer, etc.)

I can guarantee you that parents of players and RECRUITS do to varying degrees, check out what fans are saying about the team. I would anticipate the Recruits sometimes might also check in as well.

You liken this thread to a freedom of speech issue. Actually, message boards (which set rules on what can and can't be said and where moderators have the right to remove and edit posts) are not classic free speech zones. Mods make decisions about whether a given post is appropriate, responsible, inflammatory, derogatory and so on. My view is that unsubstantiated speculation about transfers is not very responsible (more akin to shouting fire in a crowded theater). The mods apparently disagree and that is the way it goes.

per a report on Inside TN that I subscribe to "it is not final yet, but JT is likely to transfer to be closer to home. She hasn't fully recovered from two major knee surgeries, and while her basketball future remains uncertain, she likely wants to be closer to her home in Maryland."

Likely isn't definite, which is why I hoped the name wouldn't be leaked since it hasn't been decided on.

Yes, Jannah is the one that is thinking about leaving, and yes, it is to be closer to her family. She loves it here, loves the fans, teammates, coaches, and there is absolutely no bad blood. She just wants to be closer to her family.

The reason I hoped it wouldn't get leaked is because it's going to give fans, both opposing & our own, another reason to bash Holly, even though this is out of her control. Opposing fans, and coaches, are going to say "Jannah was kicked to the curb to make room for someone else who can play, so if you go to Tennessee and get hurt, they won't care about you." This, among other things, has been said many times already.

If Jannah leaves, it will open a scholarship, but Tennessee is likely to still only take three from 2016. They would take four, but it would have to be the perfect four.

I hate to hear that kvol,hopefully she will decide to stay and play some basket ball for CHW and the Lady Vols

hopefully she knows that us Vol fans have her back,in what ever she decides to do,hopefully it is in Orange and White,she would look great in some Orange and White,I know gule,everybody does lol

but I can understand her wanting to be home when things are tuff,there is nothing like family,whether you like em or not:)

and this of course just may be a rumor,hopefully that is all it is, a rumor

As do their parents. That was the main point of my prior post about Shanna Zolman's dad and his bewildered response to the transfer rumors that had been swirling around his daughter.

Exactly, and likely is also speculative and quite different from named sources.

This "report" could be nothing more than someone blowing a momentary expression of home sickness completely out of proportion to drive click throughs.

Rumors draw eyeballs to websites.
