Tennessee 2025 season

I remember when these two teams played. I came down to the wire. Still some things to improve on. Kim wasn't happy with the offense. After scoring 97 and winning by 50.

Against Div II level competition. Sure, Cooper is an excellent player, but ETSU is a creampuff for any top 50 opponent.

She also played good against NC State.

Why did Cooper only play 17’miinutes? Did she get hurt?

I hope not. I am thinking Caldwell is giving a little more time to a few players right now. Civil has a similar game to Cooper.
 
Hey, @stwainfan I am observing how well that Niya Robertson pickup is doing as she shot an abysmal .325 from the floor last year and nearly as bad .312 from 3 pt last year. This year, while still very early, is indicating very similar poor shooting- .321 from the floor and .235 from the 3 pt line. But yeah, she was a "great pick up". Slightly better is Jersey Wolfenbarger who also is drastically underperforming considering her hype. Jersey, is living up to her career stat lines of very little production. Only Barker has taken a step forward to match or exceed her prior school numbers. Again it is early but two of the games were against mediocre teams. How about actually acknowledging some of the "concerns" instead of the constant "look at me" posts?

Yes it's early. Robertson scored 17 last game. I think Jersey will be a good player in this style. There is still a lot of basketball left.
 
Not a fan of Caldwell’s coaching style. I just don’t understand it. What is she preparing them for?? Certainly not the WNBA or foreign leagues.

This is also the 4th game in 9 days. The schedule is harder than last year. Caldwell teams haven’t played the best in November. That's good because you want to get better. As for player improvements look at Spearman now compared to her players at Miami or Cooper now or at South Carolina.

That was some shooting exhibition the LVs put on last night. At one point they were 3 for 28 from 3 pt land. Robertson was an awe inspiring 0-5 and 0-3 after that wonderful 17 pt performance against UT Martin coming off the bench. Sorry but this team is really going to be an underachieving lot. Lots of individual talent (probably vastly over rated) but collectively will not achieve much but hey you keep touting them.... I enjoy the counter view posting.

There is a whole week before the next game. Time to get some practice in. It has been limited due to the schedule.
 
As she matures with a P4 school, she will realize what type of players to recruit and not use the "Holly Warlick" method of recruiting where none of the parts fit with each other. This current team had to be rebuilt quickly with transfers but with the HS recruits, she can build something and augment with key transfers. She also has to figure out how to adjust in game with actual coaching and not just keep up the same old, same old.

There were times last night watching her when the camera showed her while losing like she was confused on what she was seeing. As I have noted in the Coaching thread, she is the youngest P4 coach and has already had success and has a program that will give her the resources to achieve. As a UConn fan, it's just too bad she's at hated Tennessee.

I did see that there was some that questioned the hire. When it was announced. I looked at her record. A impressive record at Glenville State. Even some of her teams there struggled early. A good job last bringing in the players and getting the team to a S16. She has already made some adjustments. Changing the schedule a tougher schedule. She said last year they learned nothing in November about her team. Thats a reason for the change. As for players she has now five current freshman and two coming next year. That she is building around. I think she is a really good coach. I think she will get Tennessee back into championship level. Just look around what she has done several conference championships and a natty. It's also better struggle early than late in the season.
