Tennessee 2025, part 2

If they fire Caldwell after April 1, they cut the buyout in half. Maybe they can use the money saved to entice Kara (don't think they're getting Shea unless they increase that salary even more). Kara will at least listen for 2 million. It's her alma mater, after all.


Let the perpetually delusional have their moment. They're still relevant, but not in a good way.
That's the rare contract buyout where the dates actually do matter. Pretty sure it does drop in half after that date. Go figure. I guess the coach really didn't want to be fired midseason.

I guess it doesn't really pose any great difficulty to wait though it sounds like Coach Yo is again already working the portal.

I don't actually see why Lawson would leave Duke for a mess now that's she's got Duke close-ish, but when mama calls?
 
Do not bring unsubstantiated rumors to the Boneyard. Leave it where you find it. Read the rules tacked at the top of the board
 
And, why come to the SEC and have to play Dawn, Kim, and Vic on a regular basis?
This is a really interesting take…and I’d add Oklahoma and Vandy into that mix. Historically, the SEC was Tennessee and maybe one other team. Georgia was good for a while. LSU had some good teams. But it was easier for Tennessee to be consistently at or near the top with less competition. As you pointed out, there’s a lot more competition now. It’s going to make any rebuild a lot more difficult.

Good points. Some programs will take some time to rebuild. I am hoping Arkansas can get back into shape soon.

It just so happens that your team here is only MOSTLY dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive. With all dead, all you can do is go through the lockers and look for loose NIL.
Thank you for the best laugh I’ve had in about a week.

Lazo’s biggest impact with the Lady Vols was on the recruiting trail. He had a huge hand in assembling Caldwell’s first recruiting class featuring Mia and Mya Pauldo, Deniya Prawl, Jaida Civil and Lauren Hurst.

Prawl and Hurst have already announced their intent to enter the transfer portal.

Def some stuff going on behind the scenes. Per this tweet, Gabe resigned.

There is clearly something going on behind the scenes at Tennessee



There is another player entering the portal. Whichi will leave 1 returning player
 
You beat me to it.

I expected this spme time ago.

Now the big question is Cooper.

And, given the departure of Lazo, who was key in the Oliviyah Edwards recruitment, will she rethink? (actually, that's a bigger issue than Cooper)
 
LVs down to two returning players, Cooper and Civil. Rumors of their departure are all over social media.

Total rebuild following total fiasco in Rocky Top.
 
There goes last year's top recruiting class, right down the toilet. Mass Exodus by players at Tennessee (with the Pauldo Twins now leaving) says everything there needs to be said about Kim Caldwell and her program (I'll bet that The Pauldo Twins end up at a Big 10 School)

I realize that it's possible to be a senior and have some eligibility left but I don't recall that's the case for any of the Tennessee seniors

Don't be surprised that Edwards opts out of her Commitment to Tennessee in light of all of the players entering the Transfer Portal (Caldwell and Company will need to literally "Raid" the Transfer Portal just to able to field a team next season)

I def won't be surprised. As of now, they have her and one other incoming freshman and 2 returning players. They have nochioce but to raid the portal. The rumors are Cooper leaving are gearing up.
 
This is like watching the Hindenburg catch fire and burn… UT is an iconic brand in WBB. Lots of blame to share in this perfect storm of a dumpster fire: AD, head coach, players, and the portal/NIL universe which allowed it to happen. The sport as a whole is not helped by this… and, sadly, we’re likely to see it again.
