Message: [QUOTE="YoDore, post: 4965430, member: 12010"] Not to be argumentative, but in many ways Tessa is the opposite of Pissott. Justine does almost all her scoring beyond the arc and is almost reluctant to drive the ball, though she did do it more often as the season progressed at coach Ralph's insistence. It's still a work in progress. Miller, on the other hand, does almost all her business in the paint. She occasionally scores around the free-throw line, but the overwhelming majority of her points come right around the basket. She works really hard and has some shifty moves, but she is not a leaper. I have a hard time seeing her thriving on the court at a P5 school. Maybe one of the mid- to low-range Big East teams. Her former front court teammate Madison Bartley, who I felt had more overall talent, transferred to Baylor last season and played very little in Waco. That's not to say it would be a mistake for Tennessee to take her. She's from a small town not that far from Knoxville (Crossville). She's a great kid, an outstanding student in pre-law and has a stellar attitude and work ethic. She would be a positive presence in Knoxville, but I don't think she would help them very much on the floor against SEC teams. Belmont is second only to Vandy on the list of teams I follow. The portal has really hurt them the past two years, but they overcame it pretty well this season, thanks in large part to Tessa Miller. She will certainly be missed. This is much more than you wanted to know about her, but I'm a fan, and thought it might be worthwhile to talk about her. [/QUOTE]
