I heard Colorado mentioned with her.

Baylor University maybe?

Tess taking that covid year and coming back.

Not terrible for the system… she’ll be playing a 4 at best so she’ll have to adjust.

Don’t see her taking many minutes tho so.
If anything I’d come back just to get more free education!

So happy for Tess, and hope this final season is her finest! The memories she's making with her actual sister and her Lady Vol sisters will last a lifetime.

Can’t wait to see Tess in this system! I don’t know why but I feel like we shot a lot of 3s this year, more than usual. Maybe next season will be different, and we’ll make more because we’re shooting more?! Hopefully we’ll have some 40%’ers this year.

The law firm of Barker, McQueen, and Nye are returning to Alabama.

I'm a fan of Coach Curry and her scrappy team. With all that experience coming back they'll be a challenge for just about everybody they play.

I thought defense mattered

Glad to see this. I hope everyone else follows suit.

Just need Tess to get a midrange this offseason.

Nah, not in CKC's system. She needs to work on logo threes and beyond. She pulled a few times this season from around 25 and that was a little out of her range. Needs to get comfortable from shooting out that far at least.

 

[Orange007]

tess will need to work on her conditioning big time, as will others, with this new system. i am glad she's coming back though. we need shooters who have experience in big games.

She’ll be playing the post so

 

[DarkPhoenix]

I’d selfishly like to see our name associated with players if nothing else. So far, I’ve only seen Lucy Olsen, and all internet rumors point toward Iowa wanting her and her wanting Iowa back.

I’m hoping the same, I guess she might choose Iowa because she know she can have a green light and the ball in her hands 90% of the time.

I didn’t see an issue with her conditioning, she’s just athletic enough, and that won’t change. But she’s a shooter so I can see the reason the coach wants to keep her.

You don’t want the roster upgraded or u think this roster can win a championship?

Upgrade, realistically, for this season, is bringing 2 to 3 players who are good fits for CKC's system (May not be "stars" but they can play in a fast past pressing style).

She needs to keep the experienced players who are on good improvement curves. Tess is a proven shooter and has value. She is a better defender than she get credits for.

Wynn, Strickland, and Hollingshead might look much better in a faster paced system.

A player of Spear's caliber would be a very tough to replace in the portal.

CKC is a little behind on the portal game so the more roster spots she has to fill, the tougher the challenge

Those threes wasn’t falling last yr.if it wasn’t a spot up three Tess wasn’t taking the shot and that didn’t help the team.

That and her father is a congressman in the State of Tennessee along with this being her 5th year. Don't think that if Tennessee let her go due to lack of athleticism there wouldn't be some kind of uproar. Sitting politicians seem to have connections.

 

[Dak1219]

She was Tennessee's to get and her first choice. That sucks.

Toward the end of the season, she was getting better at hitting 3s in transition and her release has gotten quicker.

She has improved every season and I expect we will see the best version of Tess so far this coming season.

I actually don’t mind her staying, I’ve never had a problem with her. She has her flaws but her shooting is always needed.

You also have to think about Talasia Cooper and Kaniya Boyd not to mention Destinee Wells. Destinnee was given the green light on everything at Belmont. She may also thrive in this system if she doesn't have to think pass first and can just settle in and shoot the 3. She is very capable. Kaiya, Talasia, and Kaniya give us very fast 6-foot lengthy guards that would be great in a pressing game.

 

[Coach Jumper]

Just need Tess to get a midrange this offseason.

I'm thinking just the opposite .. in a system run where 3 pointers are shot at such a high pace. Tess will undoubtedly have plays run for her.
