Not even giving the new staff a chance.

The tell tale sign will be where they end up. My guess is all three land at a bottom barrel basketball school that doesn't sniff the tournament.

Most Vol fans biggest gripe with Cuonzo was his inability to recruit. Trust me, no tears will be shed over losing a few three stars.

In his presser, Huckabee said he expected 3 of the 4 to honor their commitment to Tennessee.

All they need to do is Google his name, they can find out who their new coach is. Just because nobody knows him doesn't mean he's an unknown.

Oh, wait, that's exactly what it means. My bad.

To be fair, on some of them, it may be the coaches not giving the players a chance.

Per Wes Rucker at Tennessee's 247 site, Turman has not asked for his release and is scheduled to meet in person with Donnie Tyndall later this week. Cofer will meet with Tyndall as well.

Larry and Cornish are both out.

Is Cornish out official?

I wonder if LSU will show interest considering that he is from New Orleans?

Cornish and Austin are 100% out. I don't think Cornish would be a take for LSU.

Most schools have already finished up recruiting, so yeah, they will go where there is a place for them to go, doesn't mean that is the level of where they should be.

Link?

Find me an example who a legit prospect who decomitted from one school after the second signing period started who landed at a school who "made room".

I'll wait.

University of Memphis cut Antonio Barton to make room for Michael Dickson. He was a transfer, but the same logic applies. If a program really wants a player, they'll make room. It happens all the time.

Barton graduated and took advantage of the graduate transfer.

Not the same situation or logic.

Find me a recruit who decommitted from school X in late April to have school Y kick a kid to the curb to make room for him.

Stop trying to justify the terrible treatment toward a good coach who left you for a better program.

What Dale is trying to say here is that if Cornish and Austin were both top fifteen consensus five star players, in this exact situation, they'd probably have to go play for MTSU or College of Charleston.

No, I'm saying if they did not sign their LOI in the early period, the schools recruiting them would likely still have a slot open for them.

It's alright, big guy. You can be wrong every once in a while.

Prove me wrong then.

You haven't.

You are wrong about Martin, hence his current employment at Cal-Berkley. These players do not want to rearrange deck chairs with Tyndall...
