Is this true? Justine transferring

GT I like you so none of this is personal. But give me one metric, any stat, any observable input that shows JP is better at this point in time than SP? Why would JP reasonably expect based on results to get more playing time than SP?
Shooting, ball handling, passing, defense, rebounding, toughness, ... SP is currently better than Justine in every metric.
She could have stepped in nicely to Jackson's role after next season. But that would have required her buying in and doing the work. She was too weak to do that and decided to go for easy pt at Vandy.

Thanks for the offer but my daughter and her family live there. I'll probably stay a couple of days.

There were a series of perhaps 5-7 games, or more, SP was completely ineffective, both on offense and defense...She had lost her offensive shot, and even on defense she moved out of the way of a few penetrating guards so they could score against us....
Kellie kept putting her back out there, while Justine just set on the bench and starred at the it show Kellie called offense...It was the worst lack of motion offense I have ever seen by any women's college basketball team....
In any event, Justine is now gone....It was her choice...Perhaps we will never really know what were the deciding factors for her to leave....She left without complaining...We owe her that much in return....

Reading all of these Justine posts just brings me back to something that I think and have said many times before. To many players with a similar skill set of Justine has been recruited over the last 3 to 4 years. We had a log jam with these players, if SP wanted spot playing time the last 2 years she had to learn to play the 4 spot. Maybe she blossoms next year and becomes a more than a role player. If Striplin wanted playing time as a sophomore she had to muscle up her body and play the 5 spot, and she did. Justine was and is not very athletic as far as handling the ball, quickness and her body just not muscular enough to play in the paint. Her game does not fit with players skill set such as Horston, Jackson etc and Darby gets most of the playing time as she should. In KJH's defense how do you say no to a Parade AA who wants to come to TN and play when she was not a very good fit? Harper's ability to assemble a team has always bugged me. We needed more team speed and she has been slow to go out and get it.

Wells and Spear say hold my gatorade. I'm sure if they could have gotten quality speed sooner, they would have. BTW our new team speed will be here June 4!
Numbers can lie when compared to nothing. There are zero numbers to show JP would have improved numbers in games we lost. There IS evidence that the coaches, based on prolonged practice observation, did not think that would have happened.
So as always, we're back to the implication that KJH and staff purposely, unfairly penalized JP to the determent of the team. If I believed that for a second, I'd quit following the team and follow Vandy. IMO this has more to do with the strange need to make victims of our fave players done wrong. White Knight alert.

Evidence says this is an excuse to appease.
We were told RJ needed to learn how to practice, although she was the best player on the court for either team.

I didn’t say anything in regards to JP. My comment was in regards to the statement on Darby getting the most playing time.

While I thought RJ was kept from starting far too long, the result speaks for itself. She had the best season of her career, was the happiest she's ever been in college, chose to return, and look the hell out this upcoming season.
Also, any comment about Darby getting "the most" playing time is of course about JP's playing time. In a thread about JP's transfer over playing time (though the loudest complainers acknowledge JP herself said it was NOT about playing time.) C'mon.

You may not have seen much motion out there because they ran they much less motion offense than they have in the past. Seems like most of the plays were designed set plays for JH and RJ... closer to how the NBA and the W does things.
Personally, I prefer designed sets to motion offense.

You’re right on this I do believe at first her thinking was I need skilled shooters over an athlete which was Holly’s way but now she sees that isn’t working so hopefully she finds that medium of athlete with a skilled game
