As the Tennessee Lady Vols enter a new era with Kellie Harper at the helm, they also enter a new era of players in the backcourt. Maybe that’s good news for Rocky Top, as everybody can grow and develop together.
Anyway, the departures of Evina Westbrook, their best player last year, and Meme Jackson, their three-point specialist, have left a major gap. And it also provides a major test for Harper right out of the gate.
Westbrook’s departure was the worst, as she publicly slammed Holly Warlick without naming her after playing horrible in UT’s NCAA Tournament lost last year, then when Warlick got fired, she bolted and transferred to the UCONN Huskies.
