The Sporting News released their high school preseason all-American teams for the 2026 recruiting class. And although Edwards is ranked as 2026 #2 recruit on espn, she did not make the Sporting News list which is odd. Vukosa made the #1 team Sporting News list. Not sure what is happening there.

She can dunk.

Edward's should be on there.

My two cents…I think Coach Caldwell could be a good coach, but she has to make adjustments because this style of play isn’t going to work against good teams. Sure, there might be an occasional upset, but good teams will negate the press. UCLA shot lights out because they went through the press like it mostly wasn’t there. The Vols had only 6 more shots than UCLA and barely won the rebounding battle. Even if UCLA shot like mortals, there’s a good chance they still win.

The announcers said Tennessee has had 7 different starting lineups. They explained the way Coach does the lineup. Something like certain amount of points for everything positive then minus the turnovers. I find that absolutely crazy

Tennessee doesn't have a set starting lineup. It's based on game by game performance.

Honestly, I feel like this is how you'd set your starting lineup if you coached a kindergarten class. I like Caldwell a lot but that's definitely not the recipe for fine-tuning your team over the course of a season. Save the gold stars for the end-of-season report cards and set your starting lineup based on collective performance.

In case anybody missed the Lady Vols' awe inspring performance,

Despite scoring 77 points, Tennessee looked rough and had a lot of defensive break downs

Good teams are gonna dice that press and get lots of easy looks

It looks like the parts are better than the whole, when I look at that roster. They really should be better at this.

Good news for them is Stanford's up next, and the way our season is going so far, we'll likely give them the opportunity to look a lot better than they did today...

Basketball has its stars, but chemistry matters. Changing the starting lineup isn’t unheard of. BUT…potentially changing it EVERY game is just LUDICROUS! It’s no wonder they have so much one on one in their offensive sets. I started to count how many times they just came down and chucked it up after a pass or two, but I opted to clean out the fridge instead. TN has a lot of talent and it’s being wasted.

I am also a big believer in the "flow state". I have a hard time believing that frequent subbing allows players to get into the rhythm of the game, and if they do, they're back on the bench right when they found it.
