it's the weather......:oops:

It is known to rain quite a bit in the Willamette Valley during the winter, but summers are lovely. Winters are usually fairly mild, although it's been colder in recent years. Not sure what Knoxville is like. I bet they get plenty of rain as well. The NW has a reputation of raining every day, but most of the east coast and southeast actually get more annual precipitation. We just have a lot of gray days out here.


Oh, Knoxville edges out Corvallis in average rainfall, 49 inches to 43.

Darn it, Oregon St. was hoping to get Burrell. I know Tennessee has more tradition, but you get to wear orange either way and Rueck is 10 times the coach Holly is.

There's no comparison between Oregon State orange and Tennessee orange. Oregon State orange is wearable and looks alright. Tennessee orange is that awful stuff-inside-the-pumpkin orange that makes their stadium look like a garbage workers' convention.

Tennessee needed a good class to follow this year's class. Holly at SEC media days. Talked about finding kids that fit into your system.

I have to hand it to Holly. The year (was it 2 years ago?) when she completely whiffed on recruiting seems like a distant memory now. The LV fans who were on the verge of storming the palace with pitchforks and torches have reason to hope again.

It was just 2 years ago when Harris was only recruit. It was just a one year thing looks like.

Well, if Holly has gotten all these kids to join the ride in the pumpkin-turned-carriage to the grand ball, she'd better be up to the task of making them into a team that can remember the steps and make the right moves, otherwise they'll just have those pumpkin-colored uniforms. Who knows -- maybe one of these kids (Westbrook?) has pied-piper qualities?
(This is another way of saying, I don't get it either....;) )

I'll say. It's pretty rare that a program hauls in consecutive top-5 classes, but Holly appears to have done just that. I know that Pat used to have a top-3 class pretty much every year, but for everyone else (including UConn) it's been a rare occurrence to have back-to-back highly ranked classes. At least that's my impression.

No semblance of a half-court offense for Tennessee tonight. Pressing a Div II team in the 3rd quarter to build up the lead rather than running good half-court offense that they'll need to run against good teams.

I predict 10 losses for Tennessee this year.

Tonight? With a few exceptions, that statement covers the past 35 years, unless one considers "chuck and board" to be an offensive scheme.

The freshman scored 76 points. Evina showed her passing ability.

Just watched the game on ESPN3.

My thoughts were Hayes and Davis looked good. Hayes needs to be the starting PG. Hands down. Westbrook started and she made a few good passes but the offense looked better when Hayes was the PG. Westbrook needs to play 2/3.

Davis scored 27 and was athletic around basket and has some nice offensive rebounds but honestly the plays she was making around basket I felt Russell or Nared should have been making.
I will keep my eye on the Volunteers this season. Holly has talent. Now she needs to coach them up and not let them call the shots.

The point guard position was one I was most interested on seeing tonight. I think both will spend time there. Davis can just make plays with that athletic ability.
 
After Tennessee beat Carson-Newman by 39 points last year Holly said: "I think our chemistry is awesome."

I do wonder if at some point during the season Mercedes Russell asks herself whether it was a good idea to return. The offense should run through her and I saw none of that. The offense was a bit of a free-for-all.

I think a better question to ask herself is “why didn’t I just stay in Oregon?”
 
South Carolina grabs a commitment as we enter early signing period....



Apparently very athletic. While Hoopgurlz has her at #50, Prospects Nation thinks (more than) a bit higher of her talents and places her at #25.

Glad this was Dawn’s new little birdie in the nest, not CW or ONO
