Ok... i was very neutral about the hire of Tyndall (I was a supporter of Martin throughout)

After losing Cofer(unconfirmed), Austin, and Cornish..... How does Tyndall respond?

This in my mind is his first real test. I want players near equivalent to these...maybe those demands are a bit high but hey this is UT.... Welcome to the Big Leagues!

Edit: Previous rumors regarding Cofer seem to have been invalid. Turman has also been released

Can we rename this thread and just make it the "football forum style freak out" thread? We'd save a lot of soon to be negative comments and empty worries by consolidating them.

None of the guys ccm had coming in were more than projects and almost definitely not huge immediate impacts. I suspect cdt may have wanted to bring in his own players any way and came to a mutual understanding with the recruits that have asked for a release. Maybe I'm wrong, but it would make sense.

People complain about Kwanzos recruits not being good enough, then same people complain when said recruits walk. #itwillbeok.

Yeah, I think you're wrong there. These were top 150 guys. Foundation guys. Not world beaters, but the core of your team three years down the road. JMO.

I doubt he "lost" these players. We hear that both have been released from their LOIs this close together? I'd bet he called and told him they don't fit his program and they need to look elsewhere.

Most fans have been griping and moaning about this years class that CCM had signed. I just heard on 104.5 that a lot of national bball "experts" considered these guys "projects" who wouldn't be able to contribute anytime soon. I sure hope the guys on here who complained about how bad this class is aren't now the same guys who are gonna ***** about Tyndall's hiring now that it appears he's cleaning house and wants to bring in his guys.

Cofer gone... official. AND, officially we are screwed. No way Tyndall can rebound from this. Our roster will look like a church league next season. Black Curtains.

You may be right. I guess we'll see how Tyndall is able to fill those spots.

I do find it telling that many complain that CCM couldn't recruit, yet when those recruits decommit, posters go ballistic. As I've said before, I suppose its just the VN Way

He's been on the job 24 hours. Are you serious with this post? Let the guy do his job and give him more than one day to do it, would ya?

It's not completely concern over the specific recruits more focused on concern for having enough players to fill a roster.

If they didn't want to be Vols then let them go somewhere else. Best of luck in the future for them. We want those who bleed Orange!

I do too. This is the last tweet related to the coaching change I see...
