Holly's talentless team was 50% of the blame

Let's not throw everything on her. Her inability to recruit did her in on the end. Agree?

SHE recruited those players so she is more than 50% to blame LOL if they were talentless than she wanted the talentless crew

They are far from talentless...Hopefully, they'll all stay and we'll get to see what difference coaching makes in team performance.

I agree with you Tennessee will have much more talent and can recruit a lot more talent than Missouri State is capable of.

I love how some of tbese people think 5 star high school translates to immediate success in college. Coaching and playing high school is not even remotely close to college. The worst college players are almost always more skilled than most high school players these 5 stars go up against during their high school playing days. Then you mix a team of 5 stars together that were used to being top dog on their team and you have issues if you dont have a coach that knows how to mesh those players together. And you have to control their me attitudes on top of that. Coaching is 85% of success at the college level. Poor coaching is always trumped by great coaching. Luck plays a small part especially if your players half arse it most of the game.

So a bunch of All Americans are considered talentless?

Yep. Hard to understand how all those stars got lost on the way to Knoxville.

I think Coach Harper will guide that "talentless" team to 21-24 wins in 2019-2020

No based on her past. Expect more of the same or worse.

So, the number one recruiting class in the country was talentless? Interesting take. I think FCHW found out that knowing Pat Summit's system would only get you so far. You had to have Pat's ability to adapt. She was a master at that aspect of coaching. To Coach Warlick's defense, she didn't get a chance to develop that somewhere else before taking over here. Could be an advantage that CKH might have.

6 high school All Americans on this year's team. I do not think talent was the problem.

100% is the highest I can get on my disagreement with this asinine statement. I thought after all these years of seeing her "coach" that everyone would finally come to the same, inevitable conclusion, Holly Warlick sucks. Guess some still just don't get it.

More like meth in his case

She will absolutely not be worse than Holly.

You mean that past that took a bunch of average players to the Sweet 16 while 6 McDonalds All-Americans got beat in the 1st round.

I don't have to wonder why
And, no, I do not agree

Her ability to optimize and grow the very good talent she did recruit,

may have had something to do with it
