THE TALLEST TENNESSEE LADY VOLS TEAM EVER ROLLS INTO MAPLES WEDNESDAY NIGHT, LOOKING FOR CARDINAL BLOOD!!!

(0) Rennia Davis is a basketball star in the making. This  6'-2" Junior Guard/Forward is averaging 17 points and 9 rebounds per game. She moves great, has abundant hops, and is a deadly shooter. She'll give the Stanford defense as much as they can handle Wednesday night. (20) Tamari Key is a 6'-5" Freshman post player who is just beginning to come into her own. The same could be said about (25) Jordan Horston, another dangerous Freshman who seems about ready to explode. (13) Jazmine Massengill is a 6' Sophomore who looks to me like an SEC All Star in the making. I've included a link below of the Vol's game against Notre Dame:

Kelly Harper, the Lady Vols new coach, has a whole lineup of splendid talents that could be compared to a Ford GT40, that is running mediocre laps at Le Mans, because the gaggle of coaches working feverishly on Rocky Top haven't been able to get the tuning right . . . yet. (Don't tell me you haven't seen the movie.) Actually, they're much like this year's bunch in Cardinal. You see glimpses of brilliance and moments of wowsville, but overall you smile, shake your head, and wonder when the moments will turn into quarters, and the rare glimpses to forty minutes of the zinging swishing sweet music of a championship contender.

Wednesday I think you'll see what I'm talking about. If DiJonai, Lacie, Maya, and Mikeala were in uniform at 100% it wouldn't be much of a contest, but I don't think they will be. I expect a total battle. Rankings be damned. Both teams are young untuned GT40s - loaded with talent, but they play faster than they should at times and make mistakes they won't when March rolls around.

I don't know what the problem was last season, but Kelly (Jolly) Harper, the point guard on three national championship teams for Pat, was obviously the answer. She'll get this team tuned up by the end of February and then - WATCH OUT! People in Knoxville will be nodding to each other and agreeing THE LADY VOLS ARE BACK!

Sunday evening those watching got their best look yet at Haley Jones. And it was her defense. Wow was I impressed. The Buckeye's next great star suitably named Bell, was totally eclipsed by a young comet named Haley. I think Bell had no points and almost no assists after she led Ohio State to victory over #2 Louisville. It was amazing.  I wonder who will guard Rennia Davis on Wednesday.
