What If Scenario?

[mlindsay]

Imagine if what stated below plays out, what would your thoughts be?

My Hopes;

2018
Lose (5):
Middleton (already gone), Diamond, Mercedes, Nared Dunbar

Return (8):
Cooper (RS Jr), Westbrook (So), Hayes (Soph), Jackson (Sr), Davis (Soph), Green (RS Sr), KK (Soph), Harris (Jr)

Incoming Class (5)
MiMi Collins (F)
Massengil (G/W)
DeCosta (W)
Balogun (G)


Total: 12

2019
Lose (3):
Jackson, Green, Cooper (Leave early for WNBA Draft would still have a year left)

Return (10):
Westbrook (Jr), Hayes (Jr), Balogun (Soph), Massengil (Soph), Collins (Soph), DeCosta (Soph), Davis (Jr), KK (Jr), Harris (Sr)

Incoming (2):
Amihre (6'3 Forward from Canada that Dunks)
Hayes (G)

Total: (11)

2020
Lose (1):
Harris

Return (10):
Westbrook (Sr), Hayes (Sr), Balogun (Jr), Massengil (Jr), Collins (Jr), DeCosta (Jr), Davis (Sr), KK (Sr), Hayes (Soph), Amihre (Soph)

Incoming (4):
Tresure Hunt (W) (HH connection continue)
Hayes (G) (Hayes family hold true to their word)
Cardosa (P) (6'6" post as a Freshman could grow)
Cameron Brink (F) (6'4" Oregon pipeline continues)

Total:14

Conclusion: Holly should win at least 2 titles if this were to happen. The 2020 year we could possibly go undefeated. Look at the 2020 roster (remember this is what I would like to happen)

2020 Roster:

Westbrook (G) (Sr) 6'0"
Ana Hayes (G) (Sr) 5'7"
Ala Hayes (G) (Fr) 5'7"
Ais Hayes (G) (So) 5'7"
Massengil (W) (Jr) 6'0"
Davis (W) (Sr) 6'2"
DeCosta (W) (Jr) 6'2"
Balogun (G) (Jr) 6'0"
Amihre (F) (So) 6'3"
Collins (F) (Jr) 6'3"
Hunt (W) (Fr) 5'11"
Brink (F) (Fr) 6'4"
Cardosa (P) (Fr) 6'6"
KK (P) (Sr) 6'4"

Starters/Bench:

PG-Westbrook/Ais Hayes
SG-Ana Hayes/Balogun/Ala Hayes
SF-Davis/DeCosta/Massengil/Hunt
PF-Collins/Amihre/Brink
C-KK/Cardosa

Disclaimer: This is just a what if! Scary if it were to happen though!

Tweaked your post. Looks better now.

My hope is the current 2019/2020 class that are on your list hit one more growth spurt.

 

[VolBricks]

Yes, with coach K switching over to coach the lady Vols they should win 2 titles.

I like your player scenario, I just do not think we have the coach to accomplish a championship.

I also have my doubts about Holly but sometimes just having the right assistants (with the team talent) could help you get over the hump. Dawn and SC probably wouldn't have won it all if it wasn't for Melanie Balcomb and her ability to convince Dawn to run the offense through Kaela and Gray as oppose to force feeding it inside to Wilson.

How about this scenario.

In football, Alabama, LSU, Florida & Georgia all get infractions from the NCAA. Included in the punishment is that they can not play in the S.E.C. Championship game nor play in any bowl game for three seasons.
This leaves the door open for us to finally get to the SEC C.G. with bUTch as our coach!!!!

 

[Rudy123]

How about this scenario:

Bill Beli CHEAT has a desire to see if his system can be successful in the college ranks. He leaves New England and comes to U.T. to coach. In two short seasons, we start playing for NCAA championships.. He stays until he is 75 years old and Brady is his q.b. coach. The ball boy ensures that there is not enough air in the ball to satisfy NCAA regulations and we win games because of that tactic.....

 

[dtnvol]

The scenario sounds like a GREATTTTT four yrs to me...little scary with only 3 frwd/post players in 2019, but doable, barring injuries to neither

Since we are dreaming, why not have Gino replace her or Larry Brown or Phil Jackson????

Unless something miraculous happens, and it is possible, of course, Cooper won't be going in the draft in women's basketball. My opinion, only.

 

[gule]

what if all the starters for each SEC team suffered knee injuries and were lost for the season except for UT's.. Would Holly finish above 500?

Lmfao man WHAT? Cooper will be an All-American here before it's all said and done. My opinion, only.

 

[armchair]

Kind of a silly thread given that we have no idea who will be on the team in the next few years or how good the players will be. We have good players every year.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Speaking of "What Ifs": What if King James went into witness protection, changed names and "self-identify" as a woman and then signed up for the Lady Vols! ... heshe could probably start but Holly would still find a way to lose.
