Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 3444483, member: 10435"] I agree. How anyone can think the future is not bright is beyond my comprehension. We return 4 starters if you include Anna plus we return Aubrey. We have Paige and crew coming in and we have Evina for 2 years who was with the team all this year. Evina is being overlooked in several of these posts in different threads. She had 10 games as a sophomore with more than 20 points, in which she scored more than 20 four games in a row, averaged 5 assists and one game went 12-15 from the field. She had the second highest lifetime assist percentage in the history of Tennessee! An important factor for me is we are getting in size and power underneath to help ONO and will have a deep bench for the first time in a while. The game has gotten bigger and stronger and ONO will be much more effective with added size underneath to complement her at times. I play golf also and you are absolutely right. Confidence is key, especially in putting. If you doubt, you are toast. We did doubt ourselves in the Big Games and that is probably why we shot so poorly. I see a lot of confidence in Paige and don't think it will change. She will go through a freshman phase like everyone else and we can't expect her to be Bird/Taurasi/Maya overnight. I think it is reasonable that we expect a lot from Anna, Aubrey and Evina (assuming she is healthy) however, since they have all shown signs of great talent at times. [/QUOTE]
