LSU fans on twitter saying Smith was a problem due to dating her teammates. I knew she and Poa dated and had some sort of issues. Apparently Smith dated more than one teammate and it caused drama.

If Smith from LSU was dating multiple teammates and was so open about it, why would another school want to deal with that drama? Could only imagine what would be said on the men's side if that were to take place.

If what were looking for is shooters then Garzon, Kneepkens, and Todd are the three best three point shooters in the portal. You have any two of them your probably going to be close to a 40 percent three point shooting team with the Pauldo twins, Hurst, and Prawl coming in. That gives you six options with five of them being over 40 percent for their careers either in high school or college.

To be determined I guess I'm thinking Baylor might take her. Think they were in her final teams.

Kneepkens in particular would be a huge get for us. She has good ball handling skills and scores at all three levels. She would replace Darby/Puckett perfectly and bring more game to our team. A 50/40/90 player like that would make a huge difference.

I really like Garzon but her game isn’t as dynamic. Much more of just a knock down shooter and doesn’t have the handles Kneepkens has. Would be a great add anyway.

It really is too bad we don’t have 4 spots to give to the portal. I don’t want to see anyone transfer but you can just see where if we could add 3-4 really quality veteran players we could be a FF team with our returners and great freshman class.

In my dreams we could take Williams, Kneepkens, Garzon and Latson.

Can you imagine that roster? Williams, Spearman, Latham, Kneepkens, Hurst, Garzon, Prawl, Civil, Coop, Ruby, Latson, Wynn, Mia and Mya

Would have 14 players who could play at any given moment. If we can go that deep…watch out.

And they want as much drama and reactivity as possible, so they typically use the Lady Vols with its large fan and hungry fan base with enticing click bait (we are one of the top two for a major player even though other sources never have mentioned this) and then follow it with melodramatic negative news (UT suffers a "devastating blow" by not getting said player.

Many agencies, reporters and pages monitor this site, as did the prior staffs (not sure about the new staff,,,yet). There are about 5-6 legitimate sources on here and if you omit the "fence gossipers, negavols and liars,,,this site is great for inside information as long as you kow of these posters. I have 6 posters listed for this site that I watch for their posts,,,the rest are for fodder, entertainment and arguings.

Most of the predictions and assessments are purely backyard fence gossip,,and have to be taken at no face value.

Re WER they are legitimately connected to hundreds of legitimate recruits, coaches, and women's basetball enthusiasts. And yes, they are particularly focused on the Lady Vols...And why not, this is "THE Elite" program in women's BB if not women's sports in general.

What they have to learn is what I had to learn:

I have been on here for 9 years, over 16 thousand posts and have had legitimate insider knowledge,,,but the posts I am immediately remembered and thought of by most of the posters here are the ones I got wrong ( Morasha Wiggins, Nyla Brooks, etc),,,and the arguments I have had with posters (giving up the game threads).

Donnie, over at WER is a friend and a valuable source for me,,,but just like this ol coach,,,he can make a post he might regret and it can turn into a rolling stone before he can pick it back up

The money a majority of these young women receive is embellished by others who really don't know. I have a few friends whose girls play at p4 level and the amount ranged from 10k-60k. One from big10 ACC and SEC for example. Schools only dish out so much for the wbb team. Tennessee is not throwing money as some perceive. Even the numbers for Chavez were way off! Just a ploy for attention!

Mark Campbell is the “new girl” at school this year and last. Everyone is obsessed and they all either want to date her or be her friend.

Has a reputation as a players coach and a nice guy. As long as he wins like this he’ll get whoever he wants.

Three and four years ago it was Coach Yo and to some degree Coach Mox at UVA. They were both the new big thing and I’ll the girlies wanted to play for them. Coach Mox fell all the way off and Coach Yo is headed that way. If you don’t consistently win asap in this reality your recruiting goes quick.

Gone are the days that you had 5-6 to build a program. If you can’t do it in 2 or less you’re cooked.

The twins already had a bunch on NIl deals and Tennessee can split up their player settlement from the NCAA anyway they want to. I'm sure there was a large amount of money involved, but their dad said once he talked to Kim Caldwell he was sold ready to start that day.

But who else is on the roster or does she wanna be #1 option

Maddie Scherr will be returning for them next season after sitting with an injury. They will complement each other well. Donovyn Hunter is also a nice player to go along with her in the backcourt.

He’s going to have to do some real work in the portal for forwards/posts. Having Prince (who I still do not think should have been playing due to her domestic violence issues) made the interior easy for them. Going to be hard to replace that.

Kara Dunn out of Ga Tech in the portal, 5’11” g/f. Great player 15pts and 5rebs. Was their best player most of the season, especially early. Their chemistry suffered as the season went on a little
