Chase Thomas podcast. The Chase Thomas podcast.

My nephew needs me to record. See, I hate, I already hate it. I hate it.

All right. Hello. And welcome back to another episode of the Chase Thomas Podcast from Stilt,

the A for mention Chase Thomas. We can live from Knoxville, Tennessee, Everything School, HQ.

Join me from vaulverport.com. It's Ryan, Sylvia. Ryan, good evening, sir. How are you? I'm doing good. excited to see what both Diamond Sports at Tennessee do, but also kind of right before we hopped on this, Candace Parker, getting her jersey retired by her hometown, Chicago Sky. So that puts you in a good mood. I like Candace Parker. I like Rune for Candace Parker. She's a great person. So that kind of elevated the night a little bit, I guess. She's an interesting one to think about, too, like in the Caldwell scheme. Is she a Caldwell scheme person? Is she doing the presses? She doing everything that made her great. She's good enough to, she would fit in whatever scheme I think you put her in. I don't think she's the prototypical player that that would fit perfectly. Like, I don't think she's that a plus scheme fit. But I think she's definitely good enough that she would, she would figure it out in any coach's system. I think she would, she would manage to be a star. I would like to know what she thinks about Kim Cullo system like and after seeing it for a year.

And then maybe ask Kim is like, is that someone you would, would you be worried about her fitting in? Like as weird as that might be or do you think, or would you bend more to Candice or I think rather than Candice bending more to you? Yeah, because I mean, there is that that level of it when you do bring in such a star that it's like how much.

And you see in the NBA, I think, is a league that you bring in such a star that it's like how much.

And you see in the NBA, I think, is a league that you see that a lot in where it's like,

okay, that person is such a, you know, gravitational pooling star that you just kind of have to figure out things around them.

That basketball seems to, I guess, just in general, be that sport more than any other sport.

It is interesting, though, because we talked to a handful of former Lady Vols.

They were in town for the Yukon game, so at halftime, they're available with the media

promoting athletes unlimited their league.

And some of them were like, man, I wish I could have played in this system.

Like, Megan Simmons, who was so fast in such a quick guard, like, she would fit so well. She was like, yeah, I think I would do pretty well. Like, this looks fun. Jordan Horst was another one that was like, yeah, I mean, you know, obviously she, you know, Kelly Harper player loves Kelly Harper and enjoyed her time here and had a lot of success. but she was like, yeah, I mean, that looks like a lot of fun out there. And Jordan horse is another one that like, especially defensively,

oh my gosh, it would have fit. and enjoyed her time here and had a lot of success. But she was like, yeah, I mean, that looks like a lot of fun out there.

And Jordan Horse is another one that, like, especially defensively,

oh my gosh, it would have fit.

It looks fun, but it also looks tiring, man.

I don't know.

They're pretty gas.

Like, you say it from the outside, but I don't think it's fun sometimes.
