Kaiya on social media

on the other hand, it was close, important game that could have had a huge impact down the road. we can't have it both ways, folks. you either want the best people on the floor or you don't.
Caldwells system does not include starting her best players. She's said over and over that starting doesn't matter. Its why she takes them out in 90 secs and also why it would have been so easy to honor Wynn's request.
 
Because they didn't know if she Kim Caldwell would her back.
Some on here said Kim Caldwell would not have to honor Tess Darby COVID-19 year.
Some said she was better fit smaller school.

I remember reading article about Tess Darby
About that Tess Darby and she saying she got year back her freshman year where could not practice
Part of the season.

Would like to link where Tess Darby was not planning to come back.
Again, when she went through senior day, everyone assumed that Kellie Harper would be back, and she was not planning on returning having already received degrees in four years. She didn’t get a year back due to injury or illness, she got the same fifth year that every player received for the 20 20–20 21 Covid season.

The reason she came back is because Kim asked her to, not in spite of Kim. I don’t have a link to a story, but you can go back and look at the media sessions after that senior day game where Tess talked about her career in the past tense.
 
Its actually a tie with two other teams for 6th so you might as well call it 8th.
Well, the SEC calls at a tie for sixth, so I am going to as well. In the year I referenced, Holly‘s team finished tied for eighth, so by your standards it was 10th.

There no way Tess Darby wouldn't have played for Kellie Harper

I really wish I could watch our top five players on the floor for the entire first half. Have some continuity. Settle in. I swear we are the team who looks in chaos though we are supposed to cause it.

Maybe with one or two subs max. And I mean individual players not one or two mass substitutions. Even an entire first quarter with our best 5 would be something to see. Might remind me of that fourth quarter where we only had one sub and got the win—was that against Georgia?

Does someone know if the subbing is all planned out before the game starts when in the first minute they are headed to check in? I just don’t think we sub with any purpose. Not when the hot hand gets pulled repeatedly.

Well we actually tied for 6th that year, but were placed in 7th because we lost to Missouri, the team we tied with. It was the 18-19 season we tied for 8th and lost to UCLA in the first round. Lucky to even get into the tournament that year.
 
Danny White only cares about the money? His ego? I mean if he can’t see there are some issues he must really not care about the Lady Vols.
I really don’t think he cares about Lady Vols which pisses me off. His mind is only on football and men’s basketball.

Look, she may be a wonderful person, as it seems to be noted here quite a few times. But, I'm not on board with quitters. Sorry, unless there's some circumstance or circumstances which are not public, you finish what you started. I get your feelings were hurt and this turned out not to be an ideal situation this season, but Wynn made a public show of quitting and there's not much sympathy from me for this. Good luck with her life, though. I wish her well.
 
so in a thread with 13K views where the coach is bashed over and over, we learn the player opted not to enter the game. heck, after recovering from such significant injuries, i don't blame Kaiya for electing to play it safe.
Tell me you didn’t read the thread without tellling me you didn’t read the thread.

Yeah, we don't know the whole story but we do know she's not practicing or helping the team, including the young players. We've talked about leadership from the upperclassman. She's been around the longest. Disappointing but wish her the best.

Read Tess Darby own words in the sophomore interview with Maria
Tess Darby
Tess Darby was talking about freshman year and COVID-19 in the intervew

""You Can look at my situation as positive and negative. I look at as positive. I get that year back. I have experience. And I have a year under my belt.""
Not all of her words talking about COVID-19 and her freshman year
She also talked about longer weight room and practices going from high school

Newer said she red shirted

Maria wrote
Darby dealt with a lower leg injury that sideline her , For a a lot of preseason practices and became a nagging issue at times during the season.

Sophomore Tess Darby was also talked cancelled practice because of COVID-19....

Fans said this same nonsense when Vitello left. Danny White only cares about Football and that statement isn't true. Because if he did ALL the REVENUE money would've been used for Football.
 

Maria
" Everyone one expect Tess Darby would use fifth year COVID-19 year "
That why Kellie Harper didn't start Tess Darby
When historical seniors start on there senior night.

Article proving that Maria M expected her back even when she went through senior night.
So did I

So did Kellie Harper
Or would have started her that night.

gentleman and ladies I rest my case
@chuckiepoo

it's all in the in the Article

Guess everyone didn't include Maria M and me about Tess Darby not coming back
Mine and her take different from yours.
Not insider but I read and watch podcasts social media and articles of Tess Darby social media
Expected her back so Maria.

And there wasn't any proof from her in her own words she wasn't coming back.
Just the opposite if you pay attention to her words her whole four years before.

Just like Maria she said it was generally expect Tess Darby would use fifth year COVID-19

At this point how do you overcome all the bad that has happened expounded by some incredibly bad decisions with comments and bad decisions on senior day. A really tough hill to climb when you have lost so much of the fan base and so much more is sitting on the fence. I guess a winning season, of which I mean huge winning season, could change things quite a bit. I wish with all the bad that fans had to endure SC 43 point loss, lose at home to A&M and Miss St. etc. she could've made one endearing decision on senior day.
She is in a position where she will have to win big next season and needs to show a lot of humility toward players that gave their all to the program from here forward. Fans need to be willing to let Coaches as well as players show change and were certainly in need of a lot of it going forward.

She didn't made mess as bad as Cassidy Rowe situation but close.
Kenny got good recruiting class
Did some of his actions cause
Clara Silva to transfer portal don't know.
Or cost him a recuit

Kenny and Kentucky have moved on and story is fading away.

Kim Caldwell keeps her class and builds better season than this fade to.
