Oh my goodness. This poll really yields a plentiful harvest of insight into the team.What Lady Vols think of their teammates, from worst babysitters to who's hitting game-winners
Knox News asked Lady Vols basketball players questions about their teammates, including who they think most likely will get a technical this season.www.knoxnews.com
One I didn't like was Spencer's. Very sharp, very well spoken young lady, but I could have sure done without hearing her say CKC's system was almost exactly like the one she played in at Arkansas. I've spent the last 6 months convincing myself that was not the case.
LOL, sometimes I see things posted and think of you or Lucy immediately.When I heard that I immediately thought, "Oh gawd. Glv98 is NOT going to like that one bit!"
Here's one I saw of Ruby:I wonder if some of the ones we didn't see (Whitehorn, Wells, Strickland, Aydele -- and Hollingshead we already know of) are the ones Kim was referring to when she said we were currently a little "banged up."
98, am I sensing BLVS creeping in? Just kidding!The title of this thread seems like a deliberate attempt at pot stirring. Very little of the player interviews was about that comparison and when that was brought up they didn't have anything bad to say. None of the transfers disparaged their former programs either. Maybe move on?
I did really enjoy the player interviews bc there are several players I'd never heard from before. As always, they are a very impressive group of young ladies. Loved Boyd's short and sweet answers: yep, nope, maybe. No wasted motion. OTOH there's Latham, who appears very thoughtful, "Let me tell you a quick story".

Impressed w Kaiya being so upbeat, what a ray of sunshine she is. Impressed w Coops goal - a natty of course! Love Sara and the Darbys saying how much they've loved their time here and how it always was and always will be Tennessee for them.
Krich, after witnessing that bloody 1.1 sec on that cursed day last March in the darkened state of So Car, I'm permanently in BVS.98, am I sensing BLVS creeping in? Just kidding!
I was actually struck by that response, as well; but in a bit more of a positive way. I think she was actually quite discreet, if not coy in her comparison. Notice she used the word "similar." Of course, she (and all of them) "likes to play like that;" and that similarity was likely very appealing to her, and probably the deciding factor in her choice of schools. I think that Coach Kim has stressed defense and rebounding, well beyond what she had previously experienced. Again, similar, but definitely NOT Arkansas. She is critical for us, for skills and leadership, but most-specifically in aiding the transition for Cooper and Boyd. The SEC margins - at least one-through-ten, are so thin.
Not a negative at all; in fact, my favorite part maybe of all the interviews. Very impressive point of view and she's right, one thing for sure about CKC she's sure not afraid of taking on a challenge. Also liked the pov that it's all new so being a new player would actually be easier.She also called Coach Kim "honorable." "...because, not a lot of people would take a job like this." I didn't take that as a negative. She - Sam Spencer - has given this a lot of though
I thought the same thing. Walking down that hallway full of natty goodies still works! Just have to update it now.And, just when so many long-time Lady Vols fans want to "move on from our past," Alyssa, and Samara specifically mentioned our tradition/history as plusses
Yeah, the βhonorableβ statement stung a little at first. But yeah, who could reasonably follow Pat? No one. But some can get closer than others.Krich, after witnessing that bloody 1.1 sec on that cursed day last March in the darkened state of So Car, I'm permanently in BVS.
I loved Spencer's comments, first time I'd really heard her discuss being here. I agree she's going to be a huge factor and her SEC experience is a big plus. The part that got my BVS hopping was when she said she had an easy transition to CKC's system bc it was so much like Arky's. Hopefully only with a better roster and a better coach.

Maybe you better play it safe and go ahead and follow BVS protocols, at least through the weekend.
We're gonna need you to be at 100% for the November Ordeal-by-Horrendousness and December's Horrendo-thon.
