If there's any of our coaches that I have zero concern about finding a similar or better player with that spot...it's Howland.

Pretty late in the game to replace him this year unless it's a transfer. I'd like a grad transfer, but maybe the better strategy is just getting best available transfer

Not really. This isn't football. There's a TON of uncommitted big-time players out there.

This sucks, I really like Brooks. I'm not too confident we'll find somebody else worth anything. Last year we were hoping for a grad transfer and ended up with Datcher.
-
Doesn't seem to be any hard info out there, just a few tweets; do we know for sure he's gone?
-
If you can't find a game changer grad transfer just bank the scholarship for next year. We need it for the next class.

Is his dad leaving for a new job?

Just a question, but do we have to give him the release? I say tell him show up or sit for 2 years. The LOI requirements are there for a reason. It's a contract.

No we don't have to, and we shouldn't. If this is true, then this guy screwed us and another player by taking up a scholarship that could have went to someone else. If we release him it sets a precedent for this to happen to us again in the future. These kids need to know that signing a sheet of paper is a contract and if they try to get out of that contract then there are repercussions.

I agree we shouldn't release him, btw. If there is a significant change, like a coaching change, then you should always release them. In this case, nothing changed, so sorry.

Actually sets a really bad precedent for this to happen to us or ANY school in the future. Players will view this and figure that any time they want to change their mind after signing a NLI for any reason they should have the freedom to start their recruiting process all over again. Could turn to chaos.

We don't have to, but I hope we do. No reason to make him come here if he doesn't want to

Besides the fact we passed on some guys because we didn't have any shoplarships.

Exactly. He ****ed us big time. And the point is if he's asking for his release, he's already decided he's not coming. So he should suffer the full consequences of breaking the LOI so the next kid or kids will think twice about it. If any kid can just get a release whenever they want, then signing with a school is meaningless and the whole recruiting process breaks down because you'll have kids continue to be recruited by other schools even after signing. I've never seen a bigger bunch of BS than these athletes in multiple sports asking for an LOI release, and the schools are always dumb enough to just give it to them.

It was our decision to pass on those players. We are not in the revenge business.
