Tennessee 2025, part 2

And Harper didn't have the benefit of Danny White's open NIL wallet.

Exactly. Imagine if Kim Caldwell didn't have that $$. She could have Tennessee ranked somewhere between Arkansas and TAMU.

To me, she’s a prime example of the portal needing restrictions. One time is fine, but anything after should be a required one year sit out.

It sure what good would have been accomplished by making her stay with Cori Close.

What is with the Ole Miss shade? They've accomplished more than Vanderbilt this decade and are pretty much on par or better with what Kentucky has accomplished with exception to the lone SEC tournament championship. They had a good run of finishing around #4 in the SEC and are always sweet 16 threats since Coach Yo took over. Have we forgotten the Stanford upset in the NCAA tournament?

In reality only South Carolina (multiple national champs and SEC reg season/tournament champs), Texas (SEC regular season co. champ, final four, etc.) LSU (national champ) and Kentucky (SEC tournament champ) have done anything significant in the SEC this decade. If you want to add in Big 12 accomplishments then add Oklahoma too. You cannot call Ole Miss a pretender but not include Kentucky and Vanderbilt in that category.

Ole Miss hasn't been a serious threat to win the league or advance very far.

Kentucky has been there and is more likely with Brooks to be again I think.

Vandy I don't know. That's maybe fair though this Vandy team has a chance to finish better than any ole miss group.

If SCar were hiring this offseason, I think Lawson and Ralph would be my top
two. I'd have Karl Smesko on the list but that would be a wild swing as far as culture fit.

Wonder if Candace Parker has any interest in coaching? I'm sure she's talks about it. Good communicator and obviously a lot of gravitas.

I am rooting for Coach Caldwell at Tennessee. She is among a group of coaches that are in the "It" crowd for growing the game. Molly Miller, Kara Lawson, Megan Duffy, and Krista Gerlich. For Coach Caldwell, Year 2, definitely not what many of us were expecting. We shall see what they do these last 2-3 games and into the SEC tournament.

Banishment nominee.

Good grief. Please read what I posted. Hyperbole much? Come on man.

maybe in your post replace “Duke” with another famous private school and replace “Tennessee” with a famous public school, and let me know if it’s still illogical
