Off the top of my head because all those teams beat us, some more than once. All had better league finishes and higher tourney seedlings than us. That’s my definition of teams to chase. Yours obviously varies.


Remind me the good guards we’re still in on.

Todd and Dunn of Ga Tech, Dunn was rated the 8th best player in the portal until Fulwiley got in dropped a couple places. She average 16 and 6 rebounds on 49 percent shooting and 35 from the three. Todd 43 percent and 43 from the three both have a lot better stats than the one that visited today.

At first I wasn’t sure about Todd bc of her defense but after the last few names out there, I’d take her in a heartbeat. Dunn would also be a no brainer.

If I was an agent I would put a list out too making sure I included Tennessee if the players was a guard knowing a group of wannabes in the fanbase who feel they have authority over qualified coaches to build a team run with every rumor that hits the internet… just like the guard from Rutgers did through the media. See how it turned out. Folks believe anything on the internet lol.

latham and spearman as our bigs (as of now) plus possibly signing a 5'7 guard who has poor shooting percentages...so we're going with super small ball in the SEC. and no pure shooters (yet).

she really needs to make something shake here. there's still time but i think we may be underestimating some of the shooting we lost in spear, darby and spencer...

We lose a **** ton of our 3 point shooting with those 3! For a system that has a constant green light from beyond the arc, it’ll seem like we would prioritize trying to replace that shooting with capable shooters.

Someone can attempt to come and gaslight me into thinking we’re fine. Do we even know if Todd really visited btw? I don’t remember seeing anything official, I could have missed it.

right that's why i'm wondering what we're doing with these small 5'7 guards who have poor shooting numbers. todd made sense to me. but these newer names i am concerned...you cant be 5'7 play in the SEC and have no shooting. you've gotta be a shooter or they'll just pack the paint --and the 5'7 guards will try to penetrate and have their stuff swatted

I saw us as needing consistent three point shooters and post players. At the time being seems I was way off track on that. Looks like were going for smaller type players that are athletic can play defense, but are poor shooters and rebounders.

Wow what a fun team to follow!

Nah just kidding I know they want to move the program forward and are doing their best. Just disappointing not to get any dip from all those good players and watch them go to competition.

But there’s still Smith!

I think a lot depends on which games of ours some of these players watched this season. There were some games that anyone could watch and be impressed and think, "That looks intense, but exciting ... and they seem to be having fun." In those games it was clear that the system worked, and everything was great.

But if these portal players missed those games and, instead, caught games like that disastrous Georgia home loss, then the impression they got was Not. Good. At. All. If our worst games -- and we all know those were not a good look for the system -- are being shown to them by anti-LV folks, then, yes, some kids might not be interested in playing within Kim's system.

You just never know what lens these kids are looking at Tennessee through, and to whom they are listening.

You can bet the House they are not hearing the KLU version of reality on recruiting visits. 🤣🤙🏼

Or if anyone seriously believe Coach Caldwell would sign a post player from the portal averaging 5ppg or 11ppg as a starter just because they are 6’4 that wouldn’t make it down the floor and back by the time the team is shooting the ball and setting up on defense you need to be on a basketball 101 improvement plan.
They aren’t recruiting these players don’t know what’s hard to understand about it. Keeping telling yourself that if it makes you feel good about the time and energy of players that will make up one of 15 spots which 11 are already filled on a team.
I know they’re doing their best because they aren’t wasting time and resources on fan dreams of a player that will never play in this system.
Looking forward to a bright future.
GBO!
My version of reality was seen by thousands visiting ESPN so I’m the laughing at you and not with you🍊.
