Diamond is Day to Day for Lady Vols

Diamond is the key for the Lady Vols to reach the Final Four. She's got to be 100% healthy by the end of the season. The question is will she? She's now going on almost two years with nagging injuries that has impacted her playing time. She was not healthy at the end of her Freshmen Season at UNC, all of last year, even though she was sitting out and now the start of this year.

I'm sure she'll be OK. A great talent that will surely propel the Lady Vols this season. It's good for the game for Tennessee to get back in the mix. I think we should schedule a regular season matchup since they are a top 10 team just about every year, and it seems silly to duck 10% of the top 10 every season.

Aren't we all.... Day to Day that is.

Day to day from Holly means....? A healthy DD is good for the game, but for now any report from Holly is more a prayer than a genuine prognosis.

 

[stwainfan]

She hasn't been ruled out for Sunday so far.
Mercedes looked good on Monday.

Y'know, it's not often I disagree or question 100% of a post that makes 5 different points in their argument. But, there's nothing in this that I can support, even to be polite.

Duck ? Hardly. Choose another verb.

“I don’t think it’s a setback,” Warlick said. “We’re just taking it day to day. She knows her body. We’re going off what she’s telling us.”

i think Holly is being VERY careful with DD. i would note that DD almost got UNC to the FF when she was very injured. She is able to play through injuries but I think TN is looking at the long picture not whether she can play against low level teams.

as for Mercedes, she didn't even look like the same person. several people in the crowd were STUNNED at her new speed and ability. not sure I have ever seen a player have surgery and come out looking so much better with movement. it is usually the opposite. that being said, i hope Holly doesn't play her to death. we are very limited in the post. there is no FF without a healthy Mercedes.

Those who forget the past are DOOMED to repeat it.

UCONN isn't ducking them, they are waiting for them at the dance. Just seems TENN can't seem to find a way to get there.

Looks like DD is the coach and Warlick is the player, LOL

Why get all masochistic about heaping more on to the schedule? UConn's already playing likely the toughest schedule in WCBB history with the 2-3-4 from last year, 5 of the preseason top 10, plus 3 or 4 more games against ranked teams. The Huskies seem to be doing more than their share to bring exciting battles of top teams to the market and doesn't really need games against faded legends whose conference has sent one team to the FF in the last 7 years and still hasn't won any during that span. Most of us are no longer stuck (rhymes with duck) back in 2008 anymore, and the Huskies seemed to have zeroed in pretty well on who are the best teams to play in modern times, though obviously long ago UTenn did serve some purpose.

I have to agree. In Diamond's interviews, she frequently discuses her role as a coach and motivator. It almost seems like she's setting herself up to take over from Holly if her leg injuries are chronic.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Tennessee is a top 10 team. Sorry if that ruffles some feathers. I want to play and beat every top 10 team. And then do it again in the tourney just to be sure.

That ship has sailed.

Well, someone wants attention...

Right. Take that argument to Baylor with their bs OOC schedule.

I wish Diamond a complete recovery and really hope she can play up to her potential. I believe she is one of those marquee players that as a fan I enjoy to watch. On another note I have read some speculation that the reason UT is not signing any recruits is because of Diamond. Thoughts ?

You dream much? Like most Vol Fans you are delusional!

No feathers here. Whether the Boneyard wants to play Tn or not--only Geno shall decide if and when, as long as he is coach. Right now, from all that was said or written, no home and home with Tn.

How does Godspell??? He doesn't have to he's God. He doesn't even use spell check or a grammar text--he's God.
