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.

Re: Vols, Hayes Playing Style by dillon77

- I highly doubt you'll see any mutual interest between Tennessee and the Hayes family after older sister went to UT, shared time at the point with Evina Westbrook as a frosh, then left -- dismissed? -- as Westbrook was kept being the starter. Hayes is now enrolled at Middle Tennessee and after a year off will begin playing in 2019-20. So, it's not a surprise that MT is on the finalist lists, not the Vols (long history between MT's coaches and the Hayes family).

- Yes, I'm sure the Hoopgurlz write-ups were interesting to MM. While she won a championship with a scoring offense and zone defense, she sure seems to want to get back to her (favored?) tough man-to-man defense and Hayes seems to be the kind of player for that approach.

- Interestingly, she's listed as a combo guard, much like Kelly. Also intestingly, they're both shorter than Caitlin Clark who is listed as a point guard first and foremost. I (still) can't help but think Clark is Option 1 at PG.
