Returning talent

Lou Brown

6’3″; Redshirt senior; Melbourne, Australia

A graduate transfer from the Washington State Cougars who is originally from Australia, she averaged six and a half points and six rebounds in 2017-18. But a season-ending injury last year wrecked Holly Warlick’s plans to use her restock the inside game. Now she’s back and fully healthy. As a sixth-year senior, her veteran presence will be crucial, and she could start.

Rennia Davis

6’2″; Junior; Jacksonville, Fla.

Yes, we mentioned here in the backcourt as a wing player. But Rennia Davis can also play the four. After all, she was the co-leading scorer last year. It all depends on whether or not Kellie Harper chooses to go small. Davis can stretch the floor, and she is clearly the go-to player for the Tennessee Lady Vols this year. So however Harper plays, she will be the starter.

Kasiyahna Kushkituah

6’4″; Junior; Atlanta, Ga.

The one returning true center, Kasiyahna Kushkituah backed up Cheridene Green last year and actually started 11 games. She averaged three and a half rebounds and nearly five points. This year, she’ll be in contention to actually be the starter at center given her experience, and if she doesn’t, she’ll certainly once again be a key role player.

Kamera Harris

6’3″; Senior; Hampton, Ga.

She saw limited action her first three years on Rocky Top, including only 19 games last year and under seven minutes a game. But can Kamera Harris make herself a rotational player at forward this year? Doing so would be a huge boost for Kellie Harper in search of depth.

Rae Burrell

6’1″; Sophomore; Las Vegas, Nev.

We already mentioned Rennia Davis as the wing player who can slide into the four spot for the Tennessee Lady Vols. If Harper goes small, though, then Rae Burrell will be the player off the bench to do that. She’s the other wing player and averaged over three and a half points and nearly three rebounds in under 13 minutes last year.
