    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

    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?

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

    If you can't find a game changer grad transfer just bank the scholarship for next year. We need it for the next class.

    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.

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

    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 doesn't work that way. Restricting release to only certain schools can only be done with a transfer situation. An LOI release puts the player back on the open market.
