A-T Ratio of Current Transfers

[zaqhhh]

Player	Position	School	2pt FG%	3pt FG%	A-T Ratio
Avery Mills	G	Liberty	55.40%	46.20%	0.88
Naomi White	G	Northern Arizona	42.10%	37.20%	0.94
Harper Peterson	F	Stanford	40.00%	37.50%	0.8
Zhen Craft	F	Georgia	50.60%	22.20%	0.63
Rylie Theuerkauf	G	Georgia	42.80%	34.10%	0.82
Harissoum Coulibaly	G	Auburn	43.10%	29.50%	0.69
Fatmata Janneh	F	Texas A&M	48.60%	33.00%	1.1
Kaylene Smikle	G	Maryland	45.90%	36.40%	0.78
Shaelyn Steele	G	Penn State	39.50%	31.80%	0.71
Jada Eads	G	Seton Hall	44.20%	32.70%	1.25
Aaliyah Moore	F	Texas	54.10%	12.50%	0.68

Obviously, this is not a total picture as many players dealt with injuries, however even so, I don't think there are ultra significant A-T differences to when they were healthy.
Considering Eads likely redshirts or at best plays only half the season, this is quite concerning to me.

Not saying it can't work and I get the need to prioritize shooting after last year (having 4-5 girls that can shoot over 35% from 3 is admirable).

But lacking multiple SEC level posts combined with not having what I consider a true elite point spells trouble.

In order to make the tourney or be competitive at a semi-elite level, I think we need another true post (preferably 6'3 or taller) and a PG who is a pass first player

Hard to say where they can go for a point guard at this point. Nelson could not pay her enough guess Clemson could. Gilbert was ineligible possibly to play here. Skinner liked Syracuse better. These three main reason we went to Steele and Eads.
I agree point guard right now is the place we need some help. I think they get a post don't know who right now, but I see it happening. Getting the kind of point guard we need seems a much taller task.

Agreed. It’s good to have shooters, but you also need people to get shooters the ball in the right spot. Ideally, you have a pass first PG that can also shoot since Kim wants everyone to shoot and shoot within 15 seconds to make it work. I agree there appear to be holes in both position groups you mentioned, but we’ll just have to see how it all plays out.

Do we know anything definitive about what NIL money has been available to the LV's?

Definitive. That’s a high bar for NIL valuations.

Definitive. That’s a high bar for NIL valuations.

Not talking about a players nil valuation. Talking about the reference to LVs losing a prospect because of running short on money this portal season. Do we know that for a fact?

We in fact know we didn't get the best players in the portal. So in fact we didn't have enough money to pay them to come here.

 

[glv98]

We in fact know we didn't get the best players in the portal. So in fact we didn't have enough money to pay them to come here.

We in fact absolutely do not know that. Obviously there's a whole menu of other reasons they may not have wanted to come here.

Wrong enough money will coax anyone to play one year. UT Knoxville isn't Iran and play a game that you would be playing at any other place. If you can't tell we shopped the bargain bin I don't know what to tell you.

Money doesn't "coax anyone". You don't know that as a fact is why others didn't come. Some will get coaxed others just wanna go elsewhere for different reasons.

 

[Rooster1]

Next season is the make or break season for CKC imo as it relates to how far can she take her system with her style of player in the system she runs. They don’t have to win the SEC for her to be successful next season, but the blowout losses and long losing streaks will need to end. And I believe LV fans will need to see improvement in W/L record as well, top 1/3 of the SEC likely. Many here are predicting an 8th place finish, or similar to last season. I’m not sure that will be enough unless the AD is not serious about about bringing the brand back to the top once again. Jmo.

So you're telling me someone could offer you double the money you're making to do the same job you would find another reason not to take right be real that's plan silly.

 

[dognusty]

So you're telling me someone could offer you double the money you're making to do the same job you would find another reason not to take right be real that's plan silly.

You are saying this as if other teams could not offer money as well. For all we know the money was the same for all teams and the player decided for different reasons. Maybe coaching style was one reason, maybe they didn't like the campus, maybe it's too far from family. You never know

That's what the conversation was about we didn't have enough money to compete with the big boys. These kids will go most anywhere if the money is right. Why do you think so many players are in the portal every year and many multiple times.

If you dont like opposition I understand, but you don't know for a FACT to support your supposition that money is everything to everybody. Jus call me silly...oh you did...ooopsy

So the ‘money was right’ for the kids we did get? How does that work? We were the highest bidder? So the current roster, like the last, is just here for the money?

And here I thought came purely to show the wbb world a thing or two about heart and hustle.

It's not everything to everybody but there's a large number in the portal and they mostly went to the money. Just a little common sense would tell you that that is mostly the reason they change schools every year. That's the old dream many still have is honor your commitment.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Need to know on each occurrence if we did not have it or would not pay market price.

You may just be projecting your own values onto others and calling it common sense.

That will be 5 cents please.

Right. And we don’t know that.

 

[smokyrow]

With so many still in the portal, I like the odds that we can find a point and a center.

 

[1reVOLver]

So you're telling me someone could offer you double the money you're making to do the same job you would find another reason not to take right be real that's plan silly.

There are people for whom monetary rewards are the pre-eminent decision factor. You appear to be to be an examplar.

There are also people for whom other things matter more. For examples try clergy, academics, classical musicians, members of Doctors Without Borders, etc.

You needn’t declare one to be “better”, but to deny that both exist is a losing argument.

PS- playing Kim Ball and playing basketball are not the same job.

 

[Rooster1]

Oh, there are plenty of players remaining in the portal, over 900 last I looked. You will find, should you choose to peruse that list, that the PG and Center positions have been picked over to such an extent that there remains few from which to pick now. Some ”take a flier on “ types perhaps, but those two spots don’t have much meat left on the bone tbh.

Market price is for everything. If you don't have the money or refuse to pay then your shopping the bargain ben . And it's still about the money.
