It sucks they're leaving, but IMO in the event of a coaching change players should be able to go out of conference with no penalty.

I agree Davis is most likely then Thompson and Hubbs least likely.

As for Hubbs, maybe Calipari is in his ear, has a better track record of putting guys in the league than Tyndall, no?

That my friend would be a no - no according to the NCAA. We all know Cal runs a tight ship up there.

Besides, not saying it isn't true, but IMO Calipari can get better players than a 5* coming off shoulder surgery that failed to blossom when he had his chances at the beginning of the season. Starting spots on KY team usually go to Freshman. Not sure Hubbs wants to be a backup the rest of his college career. Again, IMO just doesn't make since going to KY.

I'm not great with geography, any other schools close to his home?

And why not Memphis, they're not on the schedule and not in your conference....just out of spite?

In state rival. No way I'd release him to them. UT has a lot invested in that kid. No way I'd let him transfer without penalty.

It would be the closest outside of UT Martin.

I would think there is no way CDT would release him to an SEC school.

I'm not saying he's had contact or is going there, just throwing a scenario out there.

If they don't want to be at UT, release them. CDT will sign players that want to be part of the program.

This is nuts but whatever. Would have all improved greatly this year on last year's subpar performances.
Darius was a late switch in recruiting anyway. Maybe his heart was never there. He didn't play like it was there at times.

If it's true they don't want a coach who would yell at them, then they are really weak and would not have wanted to play for a lot of D1 coaches. Buzz Williams might have had them transfer as well.

This could hurt but in the long run you really don't want these type of players IF that part of it is true.

If they all go, they all go and we'll just have to live with it. Kinda dumb, especially if Hubbs has NBA dreams. He's automatically put himself 2 years minimum from that goal.
