I gotta think her rank among the all time greats is somewhat limited because of limited success of the team during her career compared to many that came before her. Still pending this year, but no conference titles, no Final 4's, it's just not the same.

Good grief.

Not even in the same conversation as Holdsclaw and the others.

No... not just not in the same conversation, it's not even in the same exhibit space.

I get that you're only trying to be Rah-Rah Rennia, but the bombast only cheapens the legacy of the true all-time greats. (Not that I'm opposed to taking shots at Parker's legacy, but that's off topic :cool:).

“surely, you can’t be serious” with this post and “I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley”.

Never let the truth get in the Way of a good @stwainfan post about Tennessee in a disparate comment about an inconsequential observation of the Lady Vols on a UConn forum.... :cool:

Nowhere close to being mentioned among the best. Solid player but she hasn't even played in a single Sweet 16 or earned an AA honor.

Donning my language nerd hat:

Fun fact about the word "disparate":
—In English: disparate = dissimilar
—In Spanish: disparate = nonsense

It was just a general question. I did mention the four best players at Tennessee. Not saying Davis is with them. Last year there was also no tournament.

A fact celebrated by many LV fans who feared being demoted to the WNIT.

Hold on, by listing those four with the headline of Rennia Davis you INFERRED she belonged with them.

Imagine if I or anyone posted Megan Walker, All-American along with the likes of all-time UConn greats Diana Taurasi, Breanna Stewart, Rebecca Lobo and Maya Moore. What vitriol do you think would have come up with that post and Megan was a conference POY AND ALL-AMERICAN, something that RD will never achieve this year (or in any year prior).

Ever see Planes/Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin and John Candy- "By the way, when you're telling these little stories, here's a good idea. Have a point."

Davis is possibly the best player UT has had since Parker. She's had some great games but she's had no real opportunity to prove herself on a major stage. The last few years of Summitt and the Warlick era had players who were talented and had good careers but UT ceased to be one of the top programs and while the rosters always had talent the sum of their parts was far below what it should have been.

Davis will go down though as a LV who lived through some dysfunction and could be part of a semi renaissance if the LVs have a strong tournament run. She deserves some credit for hanging in there when times were tough.

I mentioned the elite four. How a this? Does Davis belong in the top 20 players at Tennessee?
She is in the top 20 in scoring, double doubles, and other stats.

She’s a hard player to watch. Watching her from Frosh to Junior was awful. Her frosh year she played a ton and literally would just stand still forever during offensive sets. She barely looked alive.
