Pretty average I'd say considering the roster wasn't what it was expected to be, Green going down early and having to put freshman in important roles. The good: -players play a LOT harder for her than they ever did for Holly. You can tell they're motivated and it appears they're buying into her system -Rennia Davis has blossomed into a star. Big concern is if she stays or leaves after this season. -They've had close calls but no atrocious losses this year. They're beating who they're supposed to, losing to teams they're supposed to. -They're very young. The roster is mostly freshmen and sophomores, so in theory the team should improve as time goes on. The bad: -The offense still looks awful. Tennessee has never bee good at taking care of the ball but this season they look particularly bad. -It's normal for freshmen to hit a wall but it looks like Horston's play and understanding of good decisions vs. bad ones is just getting worse honestly. That shouldn't be the case. 4.5 TO/game in 26 mpg is awful. She isn't even the PG most of the time. Compare that to Rickea Jackson at Mississippi State who was also thrown into a major role early but has immensely improved with her shot selection and decision making as the year has panned out. Kellie's handling of Horston has been a disappointment so far. -Recruiting has been quite underwhelming. Yes, we had a good haul for 2019 and 2018, but we have no top 50 recruits on board for 2020 and 2021. Harper isn't known to be a great recruiter, so the lack of big recruits on board is cause for concern. This past year we lost 3 top 30 recruits in our backyard in Hayes, Hunt and Cardosa. The year prior we didn't get Rhyne Howard who is going to be a 1st Team All American this year. Gotta do better for 2021 or do well with the transfer market, or it's a scary future ahead. [/QUOTE]
