Tennessee 2025 season

Cooper is playing like a AA.

Cooper is who casual viewers think Fulwiley is IMO

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.

Very similar high school careers. Both centerpieces of high school offenses who were left to do whatever they liked.

Cooper transferred partly because of Fulwiley of course.

And in larger part because of Tehina Paopao.

So I guess a win is a win but by a mere 11? Me thinks the LVs are a bit overrated…

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.
