What’s going to happen to Tennessee next year?

Unless Jackson/Horston comes back, impossible to answer without seeing who they get from the portal.

Hollingshead will be a very nice piece for them next year. Darby plays her role as a spot up shooter, but the surrounding cast is a bit more up in the air. No doubt its going to be a lot of pressure on Harper to dig deep in the portal if they do lose their 2 star SEC players to the WNBA. Jackson was an outstanding grab last offseason but transfers like those don't grow on trees and the chances of anyones program landing that star fish are even less. Much like LSU who landed Reese, getting those caliber players don't happen very often.

I can’t imagine why they would. Both are first half of the 1st round.

Tennessee fans claim they got “outbid” for every HS recruit they offered, but (1) that’s the excuse for every school in every sport now, and (2) if the University of Tennessee can’t invest in women’s basketball enough to sign a single prospect, what are you even doing. Tennessee athletics in general was widely known as one of the Big Cheaters in the pre-NIL era (as opposed to the little cheating everybody was doing) and the program is as high profile and widely beloved as any in the nation. If it was just who can scrounge up the most NIL sponsorships, you’d think the Lady Vols would coast to a top 5 class.

I just don’t see how they’re anything but bad next year, and I can’t figure out why it has to be like that. Although I do appreciate it.

He runs some very creative sets on offense but has openly admitted in interviews they don’t work on defense or rebounding. That’s not a recipe for success in the SEC. Arkansas almost finished the game against South Carolina with single-digit rebounds.

I mean, even Iowa works on defense!

You aren’t going to survive very long in the SEC if you don’t play defense.

Tenn and SC and LSU are all going to be looking at the portal to fill some needs this year. If all of SC players (7) leave they will only have a 10 player roster. LSU will need to replace Morris and L Williams…

TN is in BIG trouble next year.

No. that's TN... they will be fine s always..

Anyone else tend to think in tiered groupings over rankings? Now that the regular season is over, I was looking at the list of teams and grouping them into tiers. This is my opinion on the tiers in the SEC:

Tier 1: South Carolina
Tier 2: LSU, Tennessee
Tier 3: Ole Miss, Miss St., Alabama, UGA
Tier 4: Arkansas, Missouri
Tier 5: Auburn, Florida, Vanderbilt
Tier 6: Texas A&M, Kentucky

The way I see it, each tier is performing at a similar level and with some lucky (or unlucky) bounces, each tier could easily be rearranged. What do you all think? Agree/disagree?

That’s a pretty good assessment.

Based on their League History. I would put LSU and SCar in the top tier 1

Yeah, I guess that is a fair point. I was factoring the whole body of work for the season as well as a general "eye test". I think there are multiple ways to look at it all. If I'm only factoring in SEC play then I think LSU deserves to be tier 1. LSU only has 1 SEC loss to USC, so it makes sense.

I've been wondering if Kamilla would win 6th woman of the year. I'm happy for her!

Wow!! shocked Angel did not get player of the year

I'm not.

I wish Aliyah had lost DPOY - to Brea Beal.

Really? I love Brea and am so glad she finally got recognition for outstanding defense but Aliyah is THE reason our defense is so good - because she's able to switch off and defend just about any other player. Most of the time when you get a quicker player switched off on a post player it's money for the guard because they blow right by the post. That's not the case most of the time with Aliyah.

Gameday will broadcast from the SEC Final-regardless of the winner. They are hoping for Scar VS LSU or Tenn.

Classy by Reese. Say what you want but she’s always seemed like a good teammate, hard worker and seems like a good kid who wants to grow the sport. Refreshing to see after players in recent years have gone on twitter rants after not getting awards they wanted, or watching others blatantly play for stat lines.

I think most these kids are competitors but have much respect for each other. Heck they are all pretty good friends off the court. It’s more the media trying to stroke tension and animosity between fanbases and even teams with some of their headlines recently

Yep. After the game in Columbia Aliyah and Angel were chatting just like friends. Most of them have played USA ball for years and have become friends.
