    CP3 signs with Las Vegas Aces

    This 100%. She had no problem transitioning into a different role in Chicago and the team thrived with her there. Everywhere she goes she wins. Vegas is a perfect fit since they’re really good at the other 4 positions and Candace’s ability to operate from the perimeter should pair extremely...

    Granddaughter of Pat Summitt

    Congrats to Tyler and his wife! Glad to see 6 years later after all of the fall out he's doing well.

    Candace Parker playoffs thread

    Seattle actually scares me more than Vegas does since they've finally figured out how to effectively incorporate Charles into the lineup and they're a lot more balanced now, and they know this is their last hurrah for a long time with Bird/Stewart leaving. Both teams are playing at an extremely...

    Candace Parker playoffs thread

    Thought I'd start a discussion after Parker leads Chicago into the semis with a dazzling 14 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 block performance. After these playoffs Parker will likely be: -2nd or 3rd all time in career playoff points (currently 4th, 4 points from moving to 3rd) -1st or...

    WNBA draft

    Interesting mock draft. I think there's a huge drop off after the top 3. I'd expect Henderson/Cunane to go a lot higher. Nelson-Ododa too someone will take a risk on, athletic 6-5 players don't grow on trees. Same with Queen Egbo, no way she should drop to 3rd round. Engstler I think will...

    Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2023-24

    Same. She never found her offense this season. I could see her breaking out as a sophomore, just needs to relax on the court and I think she'll thrive. She should have plenty of opportunity for playing time this year if she can provide consistent offense.

    Game Thread: (7/7) Lady Vols 56 - (10/9) Connecticut 75

    This is brutal...Tennessee shouldn't be down by 25 points to a UCONN team that's missing Buckers and Ducharme. Just zero execution offensively (7 FG on 20% shooting, 10 TO), down 6 on the glass and they've given up a 20-2 run to start the 2nd half. Horrible shot selection and no ball movement...

    2021 Consensus Rankings (Top 75)

    Don't mean to be a downer but Kellie really needs to land a couple of top kids if Tennessee is going to have a shot to be a Sweet 16 type of team or better. There have been a ton of defects in the last few years of highly touted kids: Hayes-#7 HG Green-#10 HG Collins-#49 HG (ranked #9 by...

    Really good Kara Lawson podcast JJ Redick

    Just was posted today, kind of a general overview of her career as a player/coach/broadcaster and some good tidbits about her Tennessee days and relationship with Pat. Kara Lawson on Tough Coaches, Going Against Her Parents’ Wishes, and Working in the NBA

    King James Says that Summitt's teams would have defeated Staley's teams

    Lol at the article saying Tennessee only wins 7/10 with those rosters. SC's roster has 4 players from their 2017 team on it's all time team. In 2017, Tennessee had one of its worst teams in program history (went 20-12, lost in 2nd round) and beat that SC team in their only head to head...

    Sabrina Ionescu

    I worded that poorly, instead of fire/energy I should've said intensity or confidence. Very few players have that kind of sheer confidence that she possesses. She's DT-like in that manner. EDD always plays hard when she's out there and can play with fire, but I don't think she elevates her...

    Sabrina Ionescu

    Delle Donne is more gifted offensively but Sabrina plays with a lot more fire/energy. Probably edge to Sabrina if I could draft one coming out of college. She's a great player to build a franchise around. I think it may take a little time to adjust to the pro game but she'll excel in a pick...

    Non-Lady Vol Basketball News 2023-24

    Walker has turned into a pretty good player but I dont think she's the top kid in her class. She's really struggled against good teams too. Williams is really good but hasnt developed that killer instinct yet. Might be another year before that happens. Kind of like Horston playing too fast...
