It was both.It’s not clear to me that she doesn’t care and I support any fans who continue to call her out for her behaviors and bad play. There’s an old saying: it’s not what you say, but how you say it. It’s not necessarily transferring to UCONN that turned fans off, but the way she went about it (the whole sorry not sorry thing). It was a slap in the face to fans who actually supported her.
However, the good part is Lady Vol fans no longer have to worry about her turnovers, dribbling while looking down, lack of leadership and scoring droughts. I can’t wait until her first Husky turnover. I’m sure those fans won’t mind a bit.

Good post!Evina wasted two important years of her player development playing for Holly. While I have faith that Kellie will be a YUGE improvement, I can't fault players who don't want to risk playing for another Holly and choosing to play for an elite coach. Tennessee in some ways backed themselves into a corner by prioritizing women from Pat's coaching tree, but what's done is done. I liked Evina as a player, and am sorry to see her go, but don't hold any ill feelings towards her (mainly because I don't think her addition will fill UConn's need for post depth needed to win another NC ).
No offense, but she's gonna have a harder time without Collier and Samuelson soaking up all the defensive attention. She's an undersized post that doesn't excel at anything. She's not carrying the team.Depends how you define mediocre. As a sophomore she would have been third on UTenn in scoring and rebounds and she was playing behind two seniors that averaged near 40 points per game. I think a better measure will be how she performs this season.
It won't be the same unless both teams are NC contenders. It's more like morbid curiosity.The tranfer has lit a fire under the Lady Vols fanbase. The "renewed rivalry" is good for WCBB.
Ok, but if it doesnt go well for UT the first time around, will the hoard abandon Kellie immediately?It won't be the same unless both teams are NC contenders. It's more like morbid curiosity.
Will be a good test of Kellie's coaching ability, since Tennessee has a pretty solid roster that matches up personnel wise against UConn. Will be interesting to see how it plays out. I for one welcome the opportunity to welcome Kellie with a Trial by Fire .
