Interesting that Allisha Gray didn't follow Diamond here... They were real tight like her and Te'a, playing together for a lot of years in AAU.

When recruits see Diamond standing around in this stagnant offense and think back two years ago when she dropped back to back 30-point games at Cameron and at NC State, they have got to be scratching their heads...:no:

I thought Sylvia didn't give Allisha permission to transfer to Tennessee?

6'0 and under is not what this team needs right now. They need 6'5 6'6 athletic type girls. At least 3. We have enough guards to get the ball down the court. We just don't have anyone to throw it into.

We need a lot of help at the 4 and 5 positions. However, we also need some who can shoot the ball from the outside in the worst way.

We have a person who can shoot from the outside who the coach has admitted that she needs to get in the game but never does, yet Russell plays 37 minutes a game

You have Graves, but for inexplicable reasons, guards don't get her the ball enough. She's shooting 60%, but doesn't get on the NCAA lists because she doesn't have enough attempts.

My guess it that there has never been an NC team, maybe not even a FF team with three legitimate 6'5" players (excluding projects).

South Carolina will be a lot better next season with Gray. Davis could be a problem but Gray is the better player and plays within the team concept.

If Tenn. did get those types of players, the staff wouldn't know what to do with them! Russell would be a completely different center if she were developed by a better staff.

By 2018 we'll be in rebuilding mode so there will be playing time available for these two and several others.

There used to be a time when it came basketball season I watched the men in hopes they would do just enough to be on the bubble. And the women's team during the tournament. Of course at that time the Lady were hardly on tv until the tourny. Then the men got better and it went from hoping the men got in to wishing for a higher seed like the woman. Then the men sucked again and it was back to hoping the women would reach a final four. Now all hope is gone with both. Doubt a Vols team ever reaches the final four. But now it's looking doubtful a Lady Vols team will ever see another one.

AGAIN!!!! A good example why your head coach is the problem. Cannot bring herself to make good in game adjustment. It's not about pleasing one player it's about putting together a cohesive team so you can win games.

Recruiting has gotten real bad.

2015? If not for Diamond transferring from UNC and bringing with her Te'a we would only have MeMe Jackson and she's riding the bench.

2016? At least 10 scholarship offers went to top 50 players and they all said NO to Holly therefore 0 recruits. Now Holly's staff is scrambling to the Jr. College rankings for players. They already had one say NO to Holly. Akhator who went to Kentucky, instead. The staff is looking at a 6'4 h.s. player from Tennessee who's all developmental and we all know that Holly can't develop a cha cha chia plant.

2017? Don't expect much. Crickets about anyone signing with a coached Holly Warlick team. I suppose Holly is really nervous. Hopefully she'll save the program by doing what's best.

2018? Tennessee is finished. The only fans left will be Holly's boot lickers. The Lady Vols will go the way of the Dodo bird. Move over Old Dominion you'll have company.

Geno finally gets his wish Connecticut stands alone at the top of women college basketball. Tennessee will be just a memory.

Fire Holly, NOW!:)

Yes. We need more guards. None of our guards are any good. You can have the best bigs in the world but if you have no guards which we don't, it won't matter, they will not have an impact.

Te'a is young, but our guards and wings might have been ranked high, but honestly, we do not have really good basketball players. I don't see anyone starting on our team for anyone else, maybe Russell.

We recruited rankings, rather than good bball players, Cooper and Meme, gym rats, here's to a good off season ladies, cos if Draya and Reynolds are starting next year, we will struggle, both are mental midgets. Wow, its been almost 10 years since we had three solids guards at one time.


Defense, Rebounds, and Guard play win Championships and Big Games.

Ok. I'll ask. When you transfer you have to get the permission of the "sending" coach as to where you will go??
