Kamiko is also called Tennessee Williams because she is known to play right.
 
Is that Nia, rhymes with Maya, Moore? Lol.

With n sounding a lot like m I can't help but think of Emily Litella.

please tell me that's how its pronounced! Too funny!
 
Nia is usually pronounced Knee ya. About the 490th most popular girls name. Maya is 64th most popular. Both names are much more popular than doggydaddy.

This all brings a new meaning to the phase "Go Lady Vols"

Yes, a bench player. And maybe the very end of the bench player.

The last two signings were to fill a roster.

We must be missing something, because over there, there is renewed talk of national championships based on these two acquisitions.

She seems like she'd be a solid player for Tennessee - i wonder if they are feeling they won't land any of the six top-10 kids they were after...

Cam posted our remaining targets on our board..... and I looked at the updated Tenn targets... 8 of the players are on both lists.
 
Before we over-gloat, it is very possible that 5-6 of the top recruits in 2014 will all decide to go to UT...a repeat of this year, but with another group. I don't think this stuff is going to stop...

Will be interesting to see if it continues. Certainly the social media are here to stay and seem to have played a big role in the UNC clustercommit. This sort of flocking has been described elsewhere as immature. Putting that aside, there's reason to consider it a gamble.

The theory could be (1) find a formerly top program that's fallen on tough times, (2) go there together, and (3) be the saviors who play big minutes right away and bring the program back to the top. Sounds like fun and glory.

There are problems with this, of course.

The lack of leadership in the classes ahead of you, the very thing that gives you those big early minutes, may be a detriment to your expectations of beating the best competition.

And the classes coming behind a blockbuster may be a little sparse for a while. If you have an injury or two in your four or five-member one-class group, or somebody doesn't perform as predicted and/or transfers, you can't rely on newcomers to fill the gaps and could be sucking wind.

Then there's the reasons your target program fell on hard times in the first place. They may still be there, despite your illustrious presence. You, after all, are players -- not coaches, athletic directors, administrators, or trustees. Nor are you dictators of fan reactions to your presence in the face of whatever factors influence local attitudes toward women's basketball.

So I view this thing as an experiment. It worked out for TASSK, minus the social media element -- at least by their senior year, after being coached by the best and after sharing the court with a lot of other great players ahead and behind them. We'll see whether it's a trend or a unique phenomenon.

VERY possible? Not just possible? What leads you to this conclusion?

Which players are you talking about?
 
JS great post . Talent without Leadership and Development will amount to nothing. We've seen talented individuals and great recruiting classes underperform because of lack of leadership and coaching. Some players never developed to their full potentcial. As great as this class is we will have to wait and see if it is developed and cohesive in their performance againest the top teams. There is alot of excitment right now about what could be, there are alot of couldve beens.​
