Just in case anyone else is interested in refreshing their memory, the final score in this game was 74-46
Similar to UConn, the cool thing about Tennessee is we will probably find out a bit about them early in the season. They start the season against Ohio State, UMass, and Indiana. Then before conference play they play Virginia Tech and Stanford.
Tennessee will likely play either Texas or Louisville in the finals of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in November.
Someone may have said this later in the thread, but M.A. Voepel uses the he/him pronouns
It will be interesting to see, as the portal shapes rosters moving forward, how many transfers wind up being net gains for their programs. I will pick on UT given they brought in some very good players but how all that talent will mesh remains to be seen. Will that talent get the LVs over the hump back to a F4 they've missed for over a decade now?
I love your posts on this thread!
My bad on this. I think the original post came before the pronoun change.
Brooklyn Miles says hello if Powell can't do it .
Point guard is a big question mark for Tennessee, Brooklyn Miles is not the answer.
I thought Horston was the LV’s pg?
Two years ago, Horston did some minutes at pg. It didn't really work out for Tenn. Horston is too good at the wing to waste as a slow pg.I thought Horston was the LV’s pg?
TN best hope Powell can step up and assume that role. Horston is a terrific talent but shouldn't be the primary ball handler (unless they don't mind the turnovers).I thought Horston was the LV’s pg?
Yes, we all know that Horston is not a pg. But I’m not sure that TN knows. Last season playing in only 23 games due to injury, Horston was 2nd on the team to Jordan Walker with 91 assists to Walker’s 115 in 34 games. However, Horston had an ugly A/TO ratio of less than one, leading the LV’s in TO’s by a wide margin with 105.
I doubt that she will hang around college for a 5th year when she’s likely to be a high draft choice in the W.
Jasmine Powell Says Hello....and that's after 3 year starter Jordan Walker needs a breather lol . What Question mark ?
Why ? Lol Jordan Walker has been the Starting PG the last 2 years and shes returning this year using the covid exemption for year 3 lol . PG will be fine .
Very poor perimeter shooting and an A/TO ratio that barely exceeds 1.
Overall she is experienced and that will pay a lot of dividends for a team like Tennessee this year. A lot of team's do not have the luxury of experienced players this year or even 3 PG's on the roster to compliment. The focus was they have ? marks at PG and my rebuttal is where because i see 3 options with a 4th option in horston in emergency situations .
Quantity ≠ Quality
I think Walker and Powell will definitely be quality. If they need a floor general Walker is that lady . If they need a scoring PG Powell is that lady . If they need someone to push the pace , Miles is that lady . What other question marks would need to be answered with that type of tandem ? I have yet to mention Horston once .....Kellie's plan was obviously to keep Horston from being the primary ballhander and keep her aggressive on the wing opposite of Jackson . I think she has done a great job in the portal of securing that , whether she can make them all Gel is yet to be seen and I'm a bit skeptical myself as well with all the paper expectations . Overall they should be a contender this year if they are not its not the players fault . Uconn's roster will still be ahead of Tennessee's when the season ends in march. We need a strong Tennessee team for our SOS when seeding becomes a factor so id rather beat them as an elite team instead of a team that does not move the needle on the SOS . Same for our Big east opponents.
Nah. Not buying it.
Understandable LOL
