This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

TN's Mimi Collins Enters Transfer Portal; Played With Vaughn by dillon77

..for one year at Paul VI High School.

- Rated #9 Prospects Nation, #49 ESPN Hoopgurlz. The 6-foot-3 forward from Waldorf, Maryland, is a former McDonald's All-American.

- According the linked article below, Collins averaged 5.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 14.5 minutes for Tennessee as a freshman this past season. She started the final four games of the year and averaged 9 points and 2.3 rebounds during that stretch.

In the few games I watched her, I thought she had an eye for the ball and was certainly very athletic for her size.

- She's only a freshman so would have three years of eligibility.
Where ever she transfers, you'd think she'd put in for a wavier to play immediately given the coaching change. Plus, she seems like she'd get a positive review from the TN. administration for meeting with the coach after the switch. (The "blessings" from former schools are viewed as a positive who look for NCAA "white smoke" on these waivers.)

- MM, Niele and/or Carol must've seen her while taking in Mik Vaughn during high school. And it would only take a chat with Mik to see if she could fit in with ND's current squad. Plus, Sam would probably know her, too, given how often Brunelle came up to the DC area.

Since we've heard crickets in regards to Cooks, perhaps this is another option.

(Tip of the hat to posters at the 'yard for some information, including, or course, the intrepid Orangutan.)
