For a team that loss way less than many other teams through graduation and the transfer portal, this is beyond my wildest expectations to get two fantastic bigs that are ready to play immediately, a big who needs further development but will be here for at least 3 years to assume Key's role, and a bona fide experienced point guard who will stay an extra year as well. This fulfilled our needs perfectly. I can understand the concern of having too many players and perhaps losing some next year, and this is a possibility. However, I can't imagine a significant exodus given that so many of our players are still going to be underclassmen and so many openings will be available for more playing time after all the seniors graduate. Also, I think the addition of Hollingshead won't really threaten anyone on our team for the future given that we will be losing so many bigs and I would be surprised if she would get a tremendous amount of minutes next year. I think the main place we will have a log jam is more the 2 and 3 positions with Suarez, Puckett, Pissott, Wynn, Darby, and even Walker possibly playing backup to those positions. Thankfully, all of them are aware of their competition and have chosen to stay at UT (knock on wood given there is one more day before the portal is closed for immediate transfers). In any case, adding Hollingshead is tremendous and doesn't at all add to the logjam!
