Just catching up on some of the transcripts...I think Georgia is going to be really improved. Excited to see more of Dani Carnegie.

Totally forgot Mwenentanda is at Vandy now. I wonder how much she can realistically replace what they lost in Pierre. And I also forgot they get Sacha Washington back.

Kim up at 12:50 ET… under ten minutes at SECN.

Edit: I hate it when that happens..

Kim looks hot.

Kim looks hot.

Very impressive. She managed to turn down her chatter box a few rpm. I was kind of worried about that. No notes for intro before questions. Great composure. The moments get bigger and she passes another test…

Photos or it's not true...

I think she answered more question looks like she was cut off for a commercial then to Rick Barnes hopefully see the entire thing somewhere.

Oh, she was her usual cute as a bug self. Hot? She was in a suit, but you could tell she had been spending time out by the pool. Tanned nicely.

I watched Coach Caldwell SEC media day interview and she’s the real deal!
The way she has dominated in recruiting in 19 months signing or receiving a commitment from 15 highly ranked players over three recruiting periods including 8 McDonald’s All-Americans is elite!
The SEC commissioner talked about the LV tremendous year 1 success under CKC.
#8 AP Ranked team to start year 2!
GBO.

It was just a quick question about Janiah Barker. If I find the video somewhere I’ll post it

I missed the desk interview with the players. I’m looking for that too…

It hasn’t happened yet. Florida women up next, then another podium with another coach (Rick Barnes) , then I’m assuming we would be after that.

The podium visits have been right on schedule. The desk? Not so much…

[Volfan2012]

Kim is really excited about this team you can tell the way she talks about the freshmen and practices.

 

[Volfan2012]

Okpara with those glasses that record would like to have a pair of them.

 

[HypeVol2020]

Kim looking nice, went and got some new hair lol

 

[th2421]

Coop seems surprisingly nervous to me!

 

[HypeVol2020]

Jaida Civil hype still in overdrive.

 

[Volfan2012]

Twelve more days until the exhibition. That poor team don't realize the beat down they are in for.

 

[brittannica]

Coop seems surprisingly nervous to me!

I appreciate that she didn't say Jim & Nicks was the best restaurant in Knoxville though. I am sideyeing your taste, Janiah

 

[KnoxLikeUs]

Great interview with Talaysia Cooper and Janiah Barker alongside Coach Caldwell!
You can see the poise and confidence in Barker and Cooper! S/O to Lazaria Spearman also there representing the LVs! To be honest, I think CKC could’ve brought any of her 14 players and they would’ve represented well. This team seems genuinely happy. They all were born to lead.. GBO!
I hope they have a great year.

 

[Volfan2012]

Coop seems surprisingly nervous to me!

A lot of people are just not that comfortable interviewing. She definitely is that type person.
