They released her, now she’ll be at an SEC school most likely.

Good for Kim, it’s the exact right thing to do. Go be great big O just please have mercy and don’t do it against us.

So sad for kids like her and Nyla Brooks, who are among the diminishing few that have a longtime vision of being a Lady Vol only to have it slip away.

It doesn’t even bother me, I’m over it. You’re either with us or against us.

I agree but I still can't my head around a world in which LV fans are seriously going, "whoohoo! praise the heavens we aren't saddled with some 5 star, top 2 recruit prima donna who would never fit 'the system'." Now we can use her spot to get a mid major player who averaged 12 points a game in the Missouri Valley conference!!! We are SOHHH back!!

College kids use Chat to write their term papers; why should anyone expect their decommit posts to be any different?

Executives and managers in the banking and financial world are using Chat and AI to write recommendations, references, and to enhance their resumes and LinkedIn profiles. It’s the way now. Can’t fault a teen or young adult for using free tools available to them that professional adults or anyone else is using especially for a social media post that means nothing.

Some of us are still encouraging thoughtful use. We had faculty members requiring its use, and students got very upset as a handful had family members directly impacted by the Grok data center in Memphis.

I for one won’t use it, and I want my words to me my own. Last year, I had three executives at my former employer write reference letters. I kid you not, all three were nearly identical and word-for-word. I had to go back and tell them I could not use them.

More than that, it makes it just a tick more difficult to establish talent by grazing resumes. Personal interviews seem to be even more important in the current cultural environment.

Exactly! I hate it for us as a society. So many companies are now using AI to filter through resumes before an actual human looks at them, and they are missing out on amazing and qualified candidates. Recruiters are proving this by providing candidates that these AI bots filter out if they apply direct. I hate it’s come to this. I know this is totally off topic, but I’m over basketball until rosters are done 🤣😢😭🤣

I was unaware of Grok, beyond Heinlein's invention in Stranger…
I “enrolled”. Here is an early use.

Write a letter explaining woman college basketball player decision to enter portal


Here’s a professional, grateful, and forward-looking sample letter (or public statement) that a women’s college basketball player might write to explain her decision to enter the NCAA transfer portal. I’ve kept it general so you can customize the details (school name, player’s name, specific reasons, etc.). It strikes a positive tone, common in real announcements, while addressing typical motivations like seeking a better athletic/academic fit, playing time, NIL opportunities, coaching changes, or personal growth.





[Your Name]


[Your Current University] Women’s Basketball


[Date]


Dear [Current Coach’s Name], Teammates, Fans, and Supporters,


After much reflection, prayer, and thoughtful conversations with my family and mentors, I have made the difficult decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal.


First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to [Current University] and everyone who has been part of my journey here. To Coach [Last Name] and the coaching staff: thank you for believing in me, for pushing me to grow as a player and as a person, and for the countless hours invested in my development. You’ve helped shape me into the athlete and student I am today. To my teammates: the bonds we’ve built in the gym, on the court, and off it mean the world to me. The late-night film sessions, the shared victories, and even the tough losses have created memories I’ll cherish forever. To the fans and the [University] community: your energy at games, your support through social media, and your genuine kindness have made this experience unforgettable. Thank you for embracing me and showing up every step of the way.


This decision was not made lightly. Over the past [X seasons/years], I’ve poured everything into representing [Current University] with pride. However, after evaluating my remaining eligibility and my long-term goals—both athletically and academically—I believe it’s time for a new chapter where I can continue to challenge myself in a different environment. I’m seeking a program that aligns more closely with my vision for growth, whether that’s increased opportunities to contribute on the court, a stronger fit for my playing style, new coaching perspectives, or resources that support my development as I prepare for the next level.


I remain incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and hold no ill will toward anyone at [Current University]. Basketball has taught me resilience, teamwork, and the importance of betting on myself. I’m excited to explore new opportunities while staying committed to excellence in the classroom and on the court.


To any programs interested in connecting: I’m open to conversations and look forward to finding the right next home where I can continue competing at a high level and making an impact.


Thank you again to everyone at [Current University] for the incredible support. This isn’t goodbye—it’s gratitude for the foundation you’ve helped build. I’m eager for what’s ahead and wish nothing but success for the [Team Nickname] in the seasons to come.


With appreciation,


[Your Full Name]


[Your Position, Class Year]

After much reflection, prayer, and thoughtful conversations with my family and financial advisers, I have made the difficult decision to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. I will take with me fondest memories of y'all and a ham sandwich.


Third and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude to the Waldoboro Institution of Phrenology (hereinafter WIP) and everyone who has been part of my journey here. To Coach Baldyell and the remaining coaching staff: thank you for believing in me, for pushing me to grow as a cook. You’ve helped shape me into the athlete and student I am today, short, round, cute and hungry. To my teammates: the bonds we’ve built in the gym, on the court, and in the taverns mean the world to me. The late-night x-rated film sessions, the shared victories, and even the tough losses have created memories I’ll cherish forever. To the fans and the WIP community: your energy at games, your support through social media, and your genuine kindness have made this experience unforgettable. Thank you for embracing me and showing up every step of the way.


This decision was not made lightly. Over the past 2 days, I’ve poured everything into representing The Fighting Hamster with pride. However, after evaluating my remaining eligibility and my long-term goals—both athletically and academically—I believe it’s time for a new chapter where I can continue to challenge myself in a different environment. I’m seeking a program that aligns more closely with my vision for growth, whether that’s increased opportunities to contribute on the court, a stronger fit for my playing style, new coaching perspectives, or resources that support my development as I prepare for the next level. And let us not forget “the bag”.


I remain incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and hold no ill will toward anyone at WIP. Basketball has taught me resilience, teamwork, and the importance of betting on myself. I’m excited to explore new opportunities while staying committed to excellence in the classroom and on the court. As my Auntie Ralph was wont to say, “Béisbol hass bean veri gute to me.”


To any programs interested in connecting: I’m open to conversations and look forward to finding the right next home where I can continue competing at a high level and making an impact.


Thank you again to everyone at [Current University] for the incredible support. This isn’t goodbye—it’s gratitude for the foundation you’ve helped build. I’m eager for what’s ahead and wish nothing but success for the Hamster in the seasons to come.
