Tennessee Lady Vols: Ranking toughest players to replace for 2019-2020

With the addition of a new head coach in Kellie Harper to replace Holly Warlick comes the departure of lots of elite talent. Such is the case for the Tennessee Lady Vols as the enter the 2019-2020 women’s basketball season.

Harper inherits a team that lost three starters from a year ago and four key contributors. What makes matters worse, though, is the fact that two of them were lost due to transfer. And it leaves her with a lot of attrition to deal with her first season.

Sure, she has five newcomers, including four freshmen and a junior college transfer, and she also has a sixth-year senior in Lou Brown returning to health after suffering a season-ending injury last year, right as she transferred to UT from the Washington State Cougars.
