And the way the team played in the second half of the season and the postseason made it clear that excuse is BS. Sorry the facts disagree with your agenda....

Preach!

There appears to be a low desire to win in the program given Holly's own words about it not being about wins and losses. If it is not about wins and losses to her, then she should find a new career because it rubbed off on most of her players. Have you noticed how players with an elite competitive nature has drawn the ire of Holly backers- like Meighan Simmons, Diamond Deshields?

I think the way the team played over the first half of the season made it very clear that Diamond was a huge issue the year prior.

If you want to know, you can ask any of the Tennessee players that played with her not named Tea Cooper. Any of them will be happy to tell you exactly the kind of cancer she was.

The way the team played over the second half (of every season, since,,), says it wasn't.

When she DID defend, she was incredible...But like any kid,, she knew if her "best" was not demanded, they weren't getting it!

Kids are kids...10 years old or 22,, doesn't matter.
It is the adult that guides the child. An unguided child rarely develops on its own.

Deshields had the same type of natural ability of Maya Moore.

Every bit as much.
Equal in every way, except, discipline and inner-"drive".
Both, pure Alpha's.
Davis and Hayes will be the same type of challenge for this staff. . . Rennia will be less of a challenge than Hayes will be.

I have the MCDAA game DVR'd...As soon as I watch it for per player assessment, I will know which of the those girls are Alpha's.

Please don’t say anything VA, if we even remotely attempt to ask to keep threads on topic or make others aware of board rules, you’ll get magically stereotyped as a control freak and wanna be Mod! 😂🤪

Jeff Walz made very similar comments about "it's not all about winning" in his postseason press conference.

I think most would agree I'm an ardent Holly backer, and I liked both these players immensely. I still speak to Simmons. DD has drawn my ire but it had to do with her negativity and bailing on her commitments. I have no issue with her competitive nature.

Just kind of scratching my head. Maybe it's fleas.

Oh my bad! I just get excited to see updates on transfers and the way the off-season is shaping up. This wasn’t a defend CHW post just a general question LOL ... I’ll stay in my lane though 😁

I don't want CHW fahred, CHATT,,,, That would not benefit us.. I want us to play the entire season like we start it out. ! I want the things addressed that need to be addressed.
Time out.

Everyone, thinks I am a CHW hater.
Nope.
Her success is my team's success.

But I want to see "in game strategy" growth...Better symmetry in the scoring-plays within the read n react offense...Poor displays by players to be addressed and not ignored or made "minimal" of....

This team that we have, with the new players we have coming in is easily top ten in "sum of the parts" alone.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but I I am still pulling for CHW to be a success. For them to be a success,, all they have to do is figure out is what happened after game 15 ;ast year.! NP

But I also feel as VolNation seems to...Don't tease us with all of this secrecy and minimal details...The quicker a decision is inked, the sooner this site gets back to basketball.

Yet Diamond was the player who nearly got her head taken off diving on the floor for a loose ball 4 minutes into the Alabama game. Diamond played hard more than Russell or Jordan Reynolds ever did, yet she's the cancer. If anything, it was clear she was frustrated...either with her teammates or the system...and wore her emotions on her sleeve. I'd be frustrated too if Reynolds, Jackson and Middleton repeatedly threw the ball to me with 1 sec on the shot clock and I'm not in position to score. I'd also be frustrated if my big post was never looked for nor was prepared to catch a patch when I drove the lane and drew extra defenders.

You keep acting like this year was any different from last. Based on previous season rankings, they shouldn't have lost to A&M, LSU, Missouri, Alabama, or Oregon State. So that's "only" 5 bad losses. You think we should consider this as a good coaching job?

Very nicely stated.

Ole Miss promising all-?freshman center Promise Taylor is transferring. She averaged 8 pts 6 rebounds and shot 60% from the field at 6’5”.

I'd like to have her on this team! She's from the West Coast I believe so I wouldn't be surprised if she end up in the Pack 12 but I am sure Dawn is reaching out to her

I know it wasn’t - I giggled when I saw it! 😄
We did get off topic again in this thread... I know it’s annoying. I engaged once again when I shouldn’t have. 🤦🏼*♀️

Some UT fans were/are very much in favor of hiring Nikki.

Some UT fans said that the hiring of Stephanie White at Vandy was a "home run" hire. They also said that with White , the Vandy basketball program would soon surpass the Lady Vols.

Some UT fans still think Holly is a good coach...

Wasn’t USC the main school mentioned in the first set of tweets and it seemed as though TN wasnt in the mix? Or that’s what posters were saying on here. That’s an interesting mix of schools. Still shows TN has some allure to athletes even with its coaching and most recent flubs (for lack of a better term lol). Maybe the team chemistry at A&M was a turn off and it wasn’t about just winning a potential championship. She would be a great pick up and would allow for some rebounding help and high octane energy.

Another thing while also looking for a team with championship aspirations she is also focused on journalism and broadcasting. We all know UCONN is big on that with ESPN and ESPN tours etc. But TN has gotten many of their previous student athletes involved with the SEC network which is where a lot of these young ladies are getting a great start.

Will her going to MSU break up the brotherhood of Vic and Gary? 🤔

I would like her to come to UT. But I don’t see it. I am guessing Uconn to win and Florida State for the sun and weather. JMO
