Te'a Cooper, no mention of her transferring?

1. Is this a tragedy or a farce?
2. Can it be a tragedy for TENN and a farce for the rest of us?
3. Has the Summitt or the Vol Nation accused Geno for masterminding it? Or Bird and Taurasi for that matter?

Yea yea yea @#3
 
A poster on a Tenn fan site reports: "Well looks like something is up with DD she removed her open letter about coming back for her senior year off Instagram." Not being a Gramer, I don't know the veracity of this. Never saw her "open letter", so its absence wouldn't do anything for me. As egocentric as DD is, it wouldn't surprise me to have her go off in a huff. When does the "abroad" season kick in anyway?
 
Westbrook will enroll in July. Her high school graduation occurred too late for her to enroll in the early summer session. Given what's happened recently she and Hayes have a real shot at being starters. Should Diamond leave as rumored we may see Rennia Davis in the starting lineup also.

2017-2018 ladyvol team could possibly have a successful season like Oregon this past year.

The ducks started 3 freshmen, a sophomore and a JR.
 
Why did Cooper beat up Nared, and why didn't any teammates jump in to break it up?
 
This rumor about DD is gaining momentum. I will return later with more
 
.-.
While I'm generally skeptical of anonymous sources, assuming that there is some truth to the rumors about DD leaving TN, regardless of my thoughts about the Lady Vols, I hope for her sake that she does not go through with it. My first thought is that this is a young person that had an emotional reaction to a bad situation.

When DD surprised everyone by announcing she was returning for a 5th year, the reasoning was fairly straightforward. She wanted to be the player, leader and teammate that everyone hoped she would be from the time she first stepped on campus at Chapel Hill.

If she leaves now, it will be an act of petulance and immaturity that will damage any effort for DD to establish her "brand" after college, and it will follow her for the rest of her life as the player who abandoned not one, but two teams.

Hopefully, the adults around her, HW, her father and others, can persuade her to stick it out.

The Ducks lost by 38 to UConn in the E8. I would be okay with that kind of success for the Lady Vols next season.

This is neither the time or place to be reasonable! ;)

Did Ionescu transfer to Tenn?

No, just stating that UT could have the same success Oregon did. That's if DD decided not to return. If she does return, I expect a better result.
 
I could see Deshields trying to leverage her staying to Warlick to save Cooper's behind and when Cooper ends up getting canned by the DC Deshields leaves too. Deshields is a selfish team player she's like the girl version of Rajon Rondo.
 
Besides playing overseas DD could always transfer as a 5th year grad student to any school she wanted and play right away. Not suggesting she would do it but if she decided to play with her BFF for Dawn the exploding heads in Knoxville would register 5 on the Richter scale.

Just checked in on VolNation. There are some serious tremors underway relative to DD's rumored departure.

This might be better than her staying. Her best friend on the team got tossed and while it's just speculation it might be that Cooper was lured into the fight. Was it just a coincidence that a team member was ready to record the incident? And if so DeShields might not have the fondest of thoughts about that team mate. The upcoming year would be a nightmare as far as team chemistry, especially with 4 freshmen there.

IMO, despite her elite skills and athleticism, she was a moody diva that needed the ball in her hands to be effective. Russell would have been a much more damaging loss. The team can now circle the wagons and Holly can instill an "us against the world" mentality.

The SEC does not allow intra-conference graduate transfers unless the student-athlete has two years of eligibility remaining and then would still have to sit out a year. So, spending a graduate transfer year at South Carolina is not an option for Diamond.
