False. There will be portal activity, you can bet on that.
This 100%. And while people are going to beat this notion through the ground… “they don’t need another Rickea Jackson” from the portal. Although we don’t yet know how Talaysia Cooper and Kaniya Boyd will fit with this team there’s multiple core pieces set to return and proven players with outstanding resumes that could take the extra COVID year of eligibility.
They just beat Oklahoma without Rickea J after beating two other teams.
I highly doubt every team on the schedule next season will be better than this years Top 25 Oklahoma team. So seeing what the team will look like without Rickea Jackson hasn’t been bad for the future.
Arguably, Oklahoma could end up being the best overall team TN has played up until this point outside of Indiana.
As for the portal, Tennessee will have options. Certain folks sit around here and pick apart these players like no other outside of Rickea Jackson.
Then you will look at a place like Social Media.. and see someone has a real Sports Page that ranks players production and they listed Jewel Spear as one of the Top 10 SGs, Karoline Striplin as one of the Top 5 players off the bench, and Rickea Jackson as the Top SF in the country.
I don’t get why people can’t support the ability of a really good player while also being able to acknowledge that there are several quality players on this roster.
Sara Puckett and Jasmine Powell are also playing some really good basketball.
