Bold outlooks for Tennessee ask whether Caldwell can engineer a turnaround

A set of bold predictions for Lady Vols basketball centers on a direct question: can Kim Caldwell turn it around for Tennessee?

Predictions of that kind look ahead to what might define the season, weighing the possibility of a turnaround against the challenges in front of the program. Framing the season around Caldwell puts the head coach at the heart of whether Tennessee's direction changes.

As the season unfolds, those predictions will be tested against results. Whether Tennessee does turn it around will be answered on the court, game by game, rather than in preseason forecasts.
