| Mass Exodus From Good 'Ole Rocky Top
Exit meetings have already taken place. Between graduation and those asked not to return, the Vols roster will be totally revamped. Will the Vols be substantially better with newcomers next year? Or will they suck again and be a team that will compete in two years? |

| Well, we know graduation will not yield many exits. So how many underclassmen will be gone to merit mass exodus? | |

| He's not a troll, there will be a major adjustment in the roster for next season, that hasn't exactly been a secret. | |

| looks like only 6 seniors, but i say at least 8 more to go out the door. carter has already quit and several more will follow. cds will be bringing in at least 14 or 15 new players this season. i say it will take another good class to bring us back to the level we need to be at. we will be better next year, but 2014 will be very good. this team was just a wreck from the raleigh years. he just could not get the sec type players we need to compete. | |

Also I curious what you think of the transfer rules in the other thread?

| he signed 13 during the early signing period in the fall. i guess some may be drafted, so we will have to wait and see how many we can get on campus for next season. 3 of these are jucos that were highly sought after. | |

| A necessary evil unfortunately. I know this will be shed in a negative light by some but I think its a good thing...at least in the sense that it will free up room for better players and improve the overall talent level. | |

| Carter, Weaver, Fritts, Rowland and Vanderplas were let go...maybe a few others but don't know who. Steckenrider is not coming back as well. | |

| Good for the CDS to get his players in so the Vols can be competitive again. Obviously the former staff needed to go so the players they recruited need to follow suit. | |

| Hate it for Jake Rowland. Good kid but I kind of saw this coming when TR got the ax. Maybe he can catch on at Lee or TWC. Which is where I thought he belonged to start with. Can't blame him though, who wouldn't have signed with UT if offered. Lee and TWC play some high calibur NAIA ball so that wouldn't be a bad landing spot. | |
