Looked at this last week. Four of the starters averaged right at or just above 30 minutes per game. Rickea was highest of those at 34ish.Now do Tennessee. How many Lady Vols averaged more than 30 minutes a game? How many even averaged 32 minutes a game?
As a proud fan of The Fighting Kellie Harpers, you want that to happen really bad. Burn the program to the ground! Kellie should have been the forever coach!I really hope she does well - because all you sunshine folks on here are going to have a major meltdown if we end up with leftovers from the transfer portal and next year looks no better or worse than this year. That first 40-point loss is going to sting badly. I hope it doesn't happen, but I fully expect it will.

Minutes and subbing are going to be a question no doubt but thatās all right. Anytime you introduce something new there will be questions. Iām sure CKC is expecting them and will be glad to answer.
Questions seem not as welcome here today. Such hypersensitivity! Ripping a poster for posting rumor around here is like giving out speeding tickets at Indy. My impression of the new coach is that sheās sharp and self-assured and does not need the hyper defense behavior on her behalf.

Can some of yāall for a second entertain possibility of middle ground? There are many, probably most,who realized it was time for a change yet still have questions about the new coach. While also wishing her well. Why is that hard to understand?As a proud fan of The Fighting Kellie Harpers, you want that to happen really bad. Burn the program to the ground!

"For how many consecutive minutes are you playing with full and effective intensity before you get tired and need a breather? How few minutes before you'll be ready to renew your play at full effectiveness?"Now do Tennessee. How many Lady Vols averaged more than 30 minutes a game? How many even averaged 32 minutes a game?
Why do you hate America?Can some of yāall for a second entertain possibility of middle ground? There are many, probably most,who realized it was time for a change yet still have questions about the new coach. While also wishing her well. Why is that hard to understand?
Actually I think yāall do understand that perfectly but leap to extreme sides for sh*ts and giggles. Thatās the real pot stirring going on.
Where in the post I was replying to did it mention anything about wishing CKC well?Can some of yāall for a second entertain possibility of middle ground?

Maybe itās just a lack of info right now causing everyone to be hypersensitive? Itās been a crazy week so I would hope everyone would extend a little grace to each other. Not everyone is the same personality and gets onboard change the same exact way. Some people have more questions or worries than others until they have something more concrete to believe in. It doesnāt make them a bad person or mean they want to burn anything down. If they were tearing her down as a person or calling her names, Iād understand but having a question about her system at this time isnāt some unforgivable sin.Can some of yāall for a second entertain possibility of middle ground?

There is no debate. You dislike all of our players.Iām not going to debate, but Iāll say go watch some film of Wynn going in for layups and then go and watch her high school film and tell me if u see a difference.

Unless we are offering insane amounts of NIL, sheās going to have do more with less more than likely. If she can accomplish that in a very, very tough SEC, then recruits will start to take notice.These discussions seem pretty unrealistic. Even if CKC is going to be "the next big thing" WCBB, she is, right now, at the power 5 level an unknown quantity. Coaching one year at Marshall does not create a lot of national exposure either. The idea that she can be portal magnet and draw in the top prospects is about as likely as the prediction that Becky Hammon or Dawn Staley would be in the job now.
The kind of players CKC is likely to attract are going to be in a similar position to her own--talented, potentially underplaced, and wanting to prove they can do it at the big time level.
She will have done well to add 3 or 4 skiled but underrated players that fit her "system" and the integrate them into the returning core.
If CKC can have 100% retention rate of the current roster, that will be in of itself a huge accomplishment. If she can lure Nyla Brooks, that is exceeding expectations for her first real recruiting test.
Going forward, CKC needs to create a lot of positive buzz around the program--hey something interesting is going at Tennessee-- that recruits would want to be a part of. To do that, she will need a win against a top 10 team and leap frog Oklahoma, Alabama, Ole Miss, and maybe Vandy are looking to be forces in the conference. The SECs big three will SC, LSU, and TX. If CKC can get the LVs in there general vicinity (get a winr or two against them) with a 4th place ahead of the other contenders, then have a much stonger platform for recruiting than she does right now.
There is a difference in hopes and expectations. We obviously hope for a ff next year but I think it is an unfair expectation of our new coach. Baseline is making sure we get into the tournament. A reasonable goal would be team fully employing her system and playing well at end of season. Championship game SEC tournament. Early season struggles with new system might hurt our NCAA seeding (as did Rickeaās injury This year)) so if not hosting first round and playing a say 3 seed second round a sweet sixteen might be a good goal. Better would exceed expectations but is doable.Thatās what weāre concerned with? Getting just enough to keep the streak alive?
You mean just like last season? Super fun to watch, Danny agreed, clearly.
Whatās the freaking point if youāre not competing for championships? Kellie was never going to, never has, never will. That ship has sailed and thatās why we are trying our luck with someone who has had success only Kellie could dream of.
If you donāt think winning a DII national title is not difficult Iād like to see you try.
I mentioned Tanya Haave earlier, one of Patās players and probably the best coach she āproduced.ā Sheās never even sniffed a DII national title in 13 seasons.
Quite frankly this is tame in comparison to some of the crap that has come from you over the years. He who states he comments as a coach, Not a fan. Yet I've seen videos of what you call coaching and it floors me. You look as though you never really played the sport just by how you pass the ball and dribble. I'm surprised you're commenting on something I posted rather than stalking 13 y/o girls claiming to be a coach and making crazy attempts to promote them with the new coaching staff, i.e. Maddie whomever she was who was Mid Major talent level at best. What I said are facts. Power 5 players are very different in skill and athleticism than D-2 players and mid majors. This coach has not recruited or coached on this level yet. So again, hopefully she has the ability to bring in that talent and hopefully the chaotic style of play I saw out of Marshall when playing VT carries over to the SEC, but we will know when the NCAA tournament rolls around. Have a nice day!the issue is this is a fan page,,,even other "Roosters" are appreciated here bc even though they show alliance to their school,,they are here as real fans of TN too.
Every post you make,, even a good one,, is so you can turn it into a negative one.
It gets old
real OOOOOLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDDDDD

It's not like three McDonald's All Americans over the last two years haven't come out of the portal. Ruby WhiteHorn, Rickea's high School teammate and former All American was supposed to be on campus last Monday until Kellie was released and cancelled. She did bring in Talasia, Rickea and Jillian all former High School All Americans.Of course they were. The ole, I was coming but the yaāll let go of my girl. Iām sure they would have committed this week and saved the day.
I've been here a minute. Been following the program since Dena Head was on the roster. I knew Dena in high school.Dak ,you have been on this site long enough to know that Kellie ....god bless her soul ...had not signed a high school recruit in two years.With the departure of Jackson the cupboard is almost bare of athletic ,top notch basketball players .Moreover, the type of players needed for the new coach's system is different than the system used by Kellie. So everything is conjecture right now about what players will be signed by the Lady Vols both from the portal and high school .
This just my opinion ,I think that the Lady Vols basketball team will make the NCAA next year and she will get some players out of the portal that will fit her system .She said in her last interview that the 1st month of the season when she has started at the two schools she has been head coach were not good because of implementing her system but after that expect good tidings. No one knows what will happen but I choose to be optimistic in what will happen in the future.
