Confirming how many scholarships for next year. Was under the impression we had 2 spots, but with Whitson & Wheeler leaving plus 2 more in the portal that gives 4 departures. Of course Davis coming is an automatic addition. So am I correct in now thinking we have 3 available additions for next year's team?

College Basketball Scholarships aren’t exactly 1 to 1. NCAA allows 13 full scholarship players per program. Assuming everyone on roster has a full-ride, that would mean we have 1 full scholarships left (11 players on roster plus 1 signed). As I’m sure you well know, not everyone on roster is full scholarship so they could play with that number more depending on how they can stretch that number with academic scholarships, etc.

My best guess is that they will want to add 2 more bodies this season via the portal. You may even add a 3rd with a large(r than usual) graduating class coming up.

TN will be fighting the ghost of Summitt forever, there are too many schools now taking basketball serious, not just Uconn, Stanford and UT, the best players have too many options now. They will be a top 25 program but not the Summitt days.

This will get ugly quick.

Gotta say though, I do admire their standard and sticking to it. I wish we had that in some things.

MT has standards. Extremely low standards. And it all starts with the school president.

Don't think that's necessarily true. They wanted to get away from the family and Marshall coach was a name that kept getting brought up from the start

Yup. ESPN is reporting it now. I mean you really can't blame her. Sure it has been down since Summit, but she still made it a legacy position. I don't think there is any coach that would turn it down.

Well it looks like we will get the opportunity to go up against this style of play next year in Knoxville! Sucks for Marshall; it would have been nice to see them retain her for at least another year.

Tennessee hired Kim Caldwell per sources

With one more game this weekend to go:

Honestly, buyouts are stupid but especially stupid for underperforming coaches. At least Stock earned his buyout (At the time that it was signed)

Hicks and KB for sure
Thinking this thru, I wasn’t thinking Bennie. He’s got to be in the discussion
Good catch.

2nd game of the DH on Saturday MT lost 5-2

first game of DH ended as a loss 7-3
